Revenge of the constructive
This map from Politico.eu shows the Graybillian reason for Brexit, at least within England and Wales. I don't understand what's driving Scotland, so I won't try to say anything about it.
Graybill's Law: Globalism forces each country to focus on just ONE skill, and forces all economic activity into ONE location and ONE type of business.
Before EU, England had a wide range of skills. Coal, wool, textiles, banking, steel, electronics.
After EU, only banking prospered. All other skills were forced to shut down.
Politico's map shows this beautifully. The parts of England that were accustomed to MAKING things are angry that their skills and utility are no longer wanted. The banking zone around London, accustomed to TAKING things, is happy with globalism.
Constructive vs destructive. Globalism favors the destructive and starves the constructive.
Fortunately the constructive parts of England haven't been entirely starved yet.
