tbf I don't think anyone predicted that they'd actually leave, not even those who voted for it.

Facts don't swing with Brexit voters. Did you not see their campaign? Misinformation and distortion at almost every turn. If a Brexit was procured by rational and moral means, I'd be behind it, even if I'd still have voted to remain. There are a lot of people who voted to leave for entirely sensible and thought-out reasons; the sad thing is, those votes only bolstered a stance driven by hard nationalism and wild sensationalism.
Essentially, the working classes have finally been galvanised to vote – and they've left themselves at the mercy of an elitist and anti-poor government. With a better government, a Brexit could have made sense. But with the government we have now, i.e. the one that holds corruption as one of its core tenets, we're probably going to be in for a rough future.
I'm sorry, I haven't actually seen the pound do bad outside of propoganda news shite. The pound is how valuable we make it, just because the EU is sour with us doesn't mean it's going to stay that way.
And the British Empire was not immoral. We colonised the ****ing world and produced the very things you hold dear. Globalisation started WITH the British Empire.
However, do you think it's possible that Brexit will also spur changes in the government, as a result of the social invigoration it seems to be signaling.

So I hope you aren't implying that the Remain campaign was completely pure and devoid of any incorrect facts?
And what's the problem with hard Nationalism?
And also implying that somehow voting Leave (and generalising the Working Class at the same time), leaves us at the mercy of the government. The whole government is in disarray at the moment. Nobody can say either way what the result will be yet. I really disagree with the way you use the working class to bolster your point. Every class was "bolstered" to vote this time because it's so important it breached any class divide. It was the people that decided. Not any particular class.
