Principle says it doesnt matter if you are comfortable and of high status if you cannot decide your own direction, and pragmatism says economic health and status did not help the working poor. The EU was great for those already prosperous but it hurt those at the bottom rung, it hampered our ability to change their state for the better and facilitated those who wished to distract from the issue.
Good point. One needs to be able to determine one's own direction, and the EU has not been good for those at the bottom rung. So now that the EU has been removed from the equation (notwithstanding the concerns from the Leaving communities about how the shortfall from EU subsidies will be made up), let everyone determine their own direction. London's tax money should no longer be at the disposal of the regions, as London ought to be able to determine the direction of its own taxes. And the regions should be able to determine their own direction, free from the hated EU and free from the hated London.

Can Cameron hang on long enough to give us a third referendum, this time to divorce London and the south east from the rest of the country? That would conclusively solve the problem of London-centrism once and for all.
