For which point?

- For the first, Entrepreneurs In (my group) was obviously, well, entrepreneurs.

- For the second, everyone on both sides of the debate agrees that non-London folk won it for Brexit. You're literally the first person I've ever met that would dispute this.



I agree that non-London folk swung it. But it is a bit of a stretch to think either

a) that makes everyone outside London working class

b) that other cities didn't vote Leave

I see lots of landed gentry and farmers who were big on Leave (back then). Lots of Tory home counties types too. I don't think it is even slightly helpful to consider it a class issue.


a) It's generally agreed that folks in London, Brighton etc are more educated and wealthier than the rest of the country.

b) Yes, London and other big cities voted remain.

I don't think landed gentry make a huge portion of the population. Farmers are generally considered to be working class.
