I think Brexit supporters are not aware of the consequences of their vote.
UK had a pretty good deal with EU. Now, securing a trade deal similar to that of Norway will require also accepting freedom of movement, whose termination was one of the main arguments used by Brexit campaigners.
The science & tech sector is gonna get hit badly. Some of my British colleagues here in Cambridge are very upset and considering to move out. For young progressive people, it's pretty dramatic to see a big regression in your own country I guess. The Guardian is registering some of their opinions, and they are pretty heart-breaking:

I imagine the finance sector, which fuels most London economy will get a big hit too.
Also, I have a hard time understanding how Brexit voters, who have a vision of a strong UK, did not factor in a more than likely split-up with Scotland after this.
Very disturbing. It seems overly easy to trick masses into acting irrationally.

- billyjobob 10y agoMost of those posts seem to be from kids in their 20s. I'm sure they think they know what they're talking about but the reality is I wouldn't trust a 20 year old to wipe his ass properly let alone decide what is best for the future of the country.
- Zenst 10y agoThe people who voted out were mostly the children who's parents voted into this EU, well an entuirly different beast and indeed much changed and not as many feel for the good. Also many who voted remain wanted the EU to reform and people have been hoping for that for decades and nothing improved alas. Now they have an opportunity to listen to the people instead of dismissing those who do not fully agree with them and step away from this label and dismissal of issues.
- billyjobob 10y agoUK joined the EU in 1993. There was no referendum on that. If there had been, people would have voted to continue in the ECC but not to join the EU.
