My 350 on BREXIT: Almost none of the Bremainers were even slightly critical about the EU as a reactionary institution

"From Greece to the UK, the working-class (employed or unemployed) has been bitterly betrayed by the Left."

“If you got money you vote in, if you haven’t got money you vote out”

This phrase belongs to a woman from Collyhurst, a working-class neighborhood in the periphery of Manchester. According to her view, a possible exit from the EU will not have the catastrophic implications that highly educated young British people are mourning as she has very little to lose.

The majority of Collyhurst residents cannot afford to go anywhere abroad, so they do not worry about things such as the free movement that the EU promises. However, what is more concerning is that people who claim to talk on behalf of the Left and progressiveness do not seem to even imagine such a reason for someone to want to leave the EU.
