I just think there wasn’t a single principled reason to vote Remain.
There were reasons of fearfulness (after all, it’s called Project Fear because it works on the fearful); there were reasons of self-interest and convenience; and there were reasons of ideology (aka national self-loathing).
Now I can perhaps sympathise with some of those feelings, but I can’t respect them. Ultimately, this is why I can’t help but feel a certain contempt for most people who voted Remain.
But you know, the problem is that you will have argued your side oh so convincingly, but when you're a wet small island in the North Atlantic with no friends or clout, it will be too late. It's unclear whether the people, who were presented with a silly choice, would have signed up for *that. And they will blame you, and all your ilk, for having honeyed-ly convinced them to take a fateful step.
