In all this backlash, I wonder if the people who have come out strongly remain, realize that they are trying to help massive corporations subvert a democratic referendum. Its my understanding that the people who are most strongly for remain, fits nicely within the demographic that defines itself as progressive, whose policy choices take an often anti-corporate form.

By some analysis, the remain are indeed at conflict with what might be seen as some progressive wins by this resolution. http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/06/24/the-brexit-vote-what-does-it-mean/ http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/06/24/the-brexit-vo...

- pyre 10y agoAre you saying that the only way for someone to be a "progressive" is to blindly vote on the opposite of whatever "corporations" want? That's a rather "wild" definition of progressive.
- Aelinsaar 10y agoIt's almost as though "progressives" are less defined by single issues and stances, and a bit more nuanced than you're giving them credit for?
- aggie 10y agoIt's surprising that progressives are 'helping' advance corporate interests when their interests are aligned?
