I've always said that the repercussions of this will go far deeper than any short-term economic phenomena. A lot of people simply can't see outside of their own small circle of experience.
We are trying to disentangle 40+ years of relationships, some of them forged after a lot of effort. Much more difficult that to put a X on a ballot paper to "kick some ass" or to "stop the uncontrolled movement of migrants". For the guy struggling on a minmum wage or homeless or unemployed, why should he help maintain these relationships?

Conservative leadership race: First round of voting closes please log in to view this image Tory MPs' voting has closed in the first round of the contest to replace David Cameron as leader and UK prime minister - with the result due shortly.
May 165 of 329 Leadsom 66 Gove 48 Crabb 34 Fox 16 Fox eliminared, Crabb pulled out; both have given their support to May. She looks most likely right now.
Oh may was picked the moment Cameron resigned. Gove backstabbed and frankly.... after that.... well the hierarchy picked may and this is all for show and increasing profile. Leadsom is just being positioned in minds as a future senior minister or whatever. This thing has nothing to do with democracy. It's all show. Gove is toast.
May wouldn't be feeling too smug at the moment. In the last 20 years, the membership - these nice Tory folk - have often selected the opposite to the overwhelming MP favourite. they chose Hague and IDS instead of Ken clarke. They may choose Leadsom since she appears more right wing.
****.. the Asians have got the jitters and the pounds down to 1.29 to the dollar and all sorts is going on. The real news hasn't been ignored in favour of the tory smokescreen..... look at the bbc news... watch at 8am
Tory leadership race: May takes big lead as Fox and Crabb drop out . Who is Crabb supporters going to support?. Dirty politics !.
I would expect Crabb's supporters to go for May. Fox's would go for Leadsom. But this is really dirty stuff. Leadsom's and Gove's at each other's throats as they know once they are in the final two they've got a good chance. That Tory membership electorate is the most unpredictable of all. All the need to do is persuade their MP colleagues who are also among the most devious people on the planet.
There's supposed half of gives numbers actually may voters to ensure Gove is 2nd candidate Gove is unelectable.
Ha..Ha..ha... He said, "Boris Johnson has no charisma to be PM". He siad he is better than Johnson. How come?.
Leadsom - who? Crabb - some Welsh homophobe Gove - a Nazi Fox - who? May - the winner by default and a remain campaigner who's already decided she's altered her opinion. Is it any wonder the UK electorate is completely pissed off with the current party politics?
I've never seen British politics at such a disgracefully low level - across the ****ing board. It's a ****ing midden.
Yep. An absolute quagmire of career monkeys trying to position themselves and forgetting about what they actually believe in at the drop of a ****ing hat. It's never been as bad in my lifetime, I find it both nauseating and thoroughly embarrassing for the Nation.
My grandad was born in Dumfries, and my grandma in Cork. I've got options. Just worried that my pension will be paid in sterling when you see it plummeting like a fat wood pigeon wearing diving boots.
