One of the false charges levelled at Leave voters is that Brexit is an act of self-harm. That whatever reasons a person might have for voting to escape from the European Union, the amount of damage caused will always outweigh the benefits.
But from where I stand, the only masochistic inclinations come from hardcore Remainers themselves, as they attempt to hinder or halt a clean, well executed departure.
Despite having become utterly detached from, and disliked by, working class people, the modern left must still somehow maintain the pretense that it speaks for and works in the interests of these same people.
So how do they reconcile fighting for the working class interest with battling to overturn the working class vote?
So you want to block Brexit?
Well that makes sense. Democracy can be applied selectively to ensure favourable outcomes. You’ll put the in-group’s preferences first, because their decisions are well-informed.
