Can I point out that's it not that James didn't bother to vote but chose deliberately not to vote. There is a difference though might have been slightly better if he had spoilt his ballot so it would be counted. The remain campaign was weak sauce and us remainers bear responsibility for not convincing people.

I must also point out (as someone who voted remain and would wholeheartedly welcome Brexit being reversed) that the benefits of the EU were not spread equally. I think any of us from the PIGS countries and were young in 2008-2010 can attest to that. Wales collectively voted to leave in 2016 and I'm not really sure it can be attributed to Farragy anti-immigrant vote. Wales has treated as a backwater even during the Labour years. In 2016, Wales had spent 6 years being shafted by the conservatives voted in by English constituencies. Why should they have trusted a campaign fronted by the PM f**king them up the ass like a dead pig. While I want little to do with people who voted Leave (especially supposedly leftwing leave voters knowing that it would be gifted to the conservatives to implement), the biggest failure wasn't that the UK voted to leave, but that so many people in this country felt so disenfranchised that they felt the only way they could make was to make the country shoot itself in the foot. Both remainers and leavers created that society and we can't wash our hands of each other. Maybe if we spend more effort trying to make the UK work for everyone, the EU question would be easily solved because it would be relatively inconsequential in the scheme of things.
