[Leica] An unpopular Lugger view of Brexit

[lrzeitlin at aol.com]

It is difficult for an American to appreciate the disdain that many older brits hold toward Westminster. Particularly if they do not live in or near London. Much of the chagrin of the elite stems from the realization that the lower classes did not believe their economic betters and didn't vote as they were told. The break in social tradition mirrors the fracturing of the class structure that occurred after WW1. To get a feeling for what really happened talk to the cabbie not to the investor. The young people who voted to remain will have the opportunity to live in a more democratic Britain. It is scary but only the future will tell what they make of it.


By the way, according to the approximate ages reveled in Lug posts, most of us, and indeed, most Leica owners, will be dead before the full consequences of Brexit become manifest.
