    It’s kinda hard to agree with your point on the economy, given that one of the key drivers of the Brexit vote with pure apathy for the British economy and its reliance on funneling money through the financial sector.

    While you’re not wrong, a lot of people voted on the belief that it didn’t matter if the economy went to shit, because “things are already shit”. Now, the poor are even poorer, and the damage will likely last generations.

      My sympathy for a literal peasant class in 2020 is limited.

      Ask France what to do if you’re solution oriented, British progressives, otherwise gl “reforming” your way out of a hereditary ruling class with veto power.
