I generally side with the underdog, but I voted remain. I don't know whether I'd vote at all if we were to run the thing again.

It was your analogy...

It's not a legitimate (I wrote lexit but autocorrect said that, who am I to argue?) position... it's more just... fuck it.
I'm not straying from the analogy. I'm discussing the motivation for dropping the anvil.

I'm fed up of this analogy now.

Let's Talk About Ceps
I guess that's as good a reason as any.

UK to overhaul privacy rules in post-Brexit departure from GDPR
"Culture secretary says move could lead to an end to irritating cookie popups and consent requests online"
"“Now that we have left the EU I’m determined to seize the opportunity by developing a world-leading data policy that will deliver a Brexit dividend for individuals and businesses across the UK."
what the fuck is a "Brexit dividend"?
The government hopes to prioritise “innovative and responsible uses of data”, a spokesperson said, so that it can “boost growth, especially for startups and small firms, speed up scientific discoveries and improve public services.”
I may be mistaken, but I read this as personal data will be up for grabs

Against this backdrop, it is perhaps unsurprising that Brexit divided the nation in the way it did. If you were in a relatively well-paid job and not at risk of being replaced or undercut by a worker from overseas, you were likely to vote remain. The Polish plumber was cheaper, the Lithuanian nanny was better educated, so what was not to like?
If, on the other hand, you were part of Britain’s casualised workforce, needing two or more part-time jobs to get by, you were much more likely to vote leave, on the grounds that tougher controls on migration would lead to a tighter labour market, which in turn would push up wages.
For those who have nothing to fear from open borders, labour shortages are evidence Brexit is flawed. For those not so fortunate, it is doing what it was supposed to do.
