> the more I read from the media, the more I've leaned pro-Brexit, just out of spite How can you possibly use "spite" as a justification to make decisions about the next few decades of our future? Doing anything out of spite (Google definition: "a desire to hurt, annoy, or offend someone") is surely a bad idea for doing anything, let alone a decision of this magnitude, which needs careful consideration of the facts, not emotion. > I honestly can connect more with those that were "Leave" on the E.U. now than in the beginning; simply because the media coverage has come off as so elitist. "Elitist", being a request to listen to the experts, presumably; Nobel prize winning economists, the IMF, banks, businesses, the US government, the unions, major businesses, all the sane UK political parties, and so on. Yes, elitism is terrible. How could it have been presented differently to save your feelings? What is infuriating is that many (most?) people voted according to emotion rather than considering the evidence.
