We could have double brexit with waffles and prostitutes, but afterwards the working class will be collecting buttons and some of them tins. As Monty said, you are likely to find a response being a super low tax, low wage, low rights, economy with the wage undercutting (such as it goes on) done by non eu workers.
I'm afraid what we will see now is Labour doing the opposite of what you'd like, falling behind remain (as clearly compromise, grown up as it might be, doesn't work with ****ng Brexit, and their defecting remain voters will join with the entrenched remain supporters, which will further bolster remain numbers. Not in Rotherham and many such towns though. You're right, and everyone here is right that politics is London centric and neglects the North. That has to be addressed. But brexit ain't the answer to those problems. They'll stay until the economy addresses the imbalance properly, not through scapegoating.
