Socially isolated voters more likely to favour Brexit, finds thinktank
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...inds-thinktank Quote:
People who have little contact with those from outside their own neighbourhoods are overwhelmingly more likely to have voted for Brexit, according to the first in-depth study of the social attitudes that drove the vote to leave the EU. Interesting but not a huge surprise.
Research, conducted by thinktank Demos indicates how the size of a person’s social network and their propensity to travel beyond their hometown, had a much greater influence on the decision individual voters took on 23 June than other factors such as income. |

Based on that, you voted Brexit?
Especially as I had to get a new passport as I ran out of pages in my old one.

Wasn't there a report recently about "socially isolated groups"? Quote:

It seems remain supporters are also more likely to spam Internet forums with endless multiple threads about Brexit.
People in big cities were more likely to vote remain - in small and medium sized towns and rural areas people were more likely to vote leave. I would suggest a sense of community and neighbourliness are far stronger in the latter. Or is the OP trying to claim people north of England are sad and unhappy and people in Inner London living in flats are all super happy. Really?. |

I see the denigration of leave voters just goes on and on, a bit like the OP and his never ending threads of woe on Brexit.

My own experience tends to agree with the findings in the study. People who live in a bubble tend to have a distorted view of what's outside it. |

You don't need a stamp in your passport to work in or with EU countries! I doubt you work anywhere else as you spend so much time posting Remaining Rants here.
![]() I would not say that there is any dispute about this! ![]() I live in the North and a clear majority of people I know (and don't work for the public sector) voted Leave. We are all very happy with the decision and our continuing lifestyles. ![]() |

The quote doesn't mention happiness at all, so the OP isn't making the claim you say they are. More examples of a Brexiter only seeing what they want to see.

That would be the Westminster bubble then. Especially those who were predicting a comfortable remain win as they had a complete disconnect with the country as a whole outside London.

As a whole you say? No, this country is divided pretty much down the centre. Brexiters don't speak for all people outside London.

It's the Guardian ffs.
It's rather amusing to see Brexiters criticise the Guardian when their biggest champions are the Express and DM. |

Just one thought comes to mind "Generalisation". Stop putting people into boxes, as people are complex and have various reasons, driving their vote for leaving the EU. Besides the sample size in that survey is tiny. They are trying to use the views of less than 2000 people, to represent 17 million people's views. Quote:
YouGov surveyed 1661 adults between 23 and 24 August 2016, weighted to reflect a nationally representative sample.
Hasn't the polls and surveys, been proven wrong over the past year? Have people not learned, that we aren't determined by some equation.
