My sister voted leave, I still really have no idea why but we don't fall out about it. She volunteers extensively with community groups. She said to me the other day that where she lives (a big northern town with high levels of social and economic deprivation), many people feel abandoned by decision-makers in London and wanted to protest against that. Lots of them voted Tory recently to secure Brexit, because they think leaving the EU is the key to it all. These are folk who would have always been traditional Labour voters.
I said that I couldn't see how switching your vote to secure a right-wing Conservative government run by hedge-fund toffs would help improve deprivation in the north. The whole thing is inexplicable and all sense seems to have gone out the window.
