Options


An interesting infographic from the BBC (click to enlarge):


I believe the blue route is fraught with problems and the only realistic red route options are a General Election or a 2nd referendum. I pin my hopes on a 2nd referendum and that the electorate has seen through the Leave camp attempts to prey on people's fears.

I was reading an item from a psychology tract that maintains that people who lean to the right (especially the far right) have a heightened sense of fear of 'the other', which makes them more susceptible to scare stories. The Leave campaign capitalised on this by generating more and bigger scares than the Remain camp, almost all of which were fabricated. It's not necessarily that those on the right have more fear, but people with more fear are drawn to the right.
