Think the north and the poor caused Brexit? Think again | Zoe Williams | Opinion | The Guardian
"The prevailing assumption is that the Brexit vote was one in the eye
for metropolitan elites, and that the white working classes, the
disenfranchised and unheeded, the voters
hidden on estates, had finally given a message to the Westminster
bubble that knew nothing and cared less about their concerns. In fact,
most leave voters were in the south: the south-east, south-west – indeed
the entire south apart from London voted leave."
‘The people who swung the vote were affluent, older southerners.’
