Despite leave voters’ conviction that Brexit should be delivered at all costs, over half of people throughout all three countries thought that the nation would become substantially poorer as a result of Brexit.
However, a huge number of those who voted leave in the EU referendum believed that economic losses would be worth it – 76% in England and Scotland and 81% in Wales.
Similarly, voters overwhelmingly felt that the potential destruction of the country’s farming and fishing industries would be a price worth paying for getting the result they wanted in the Brexit negotiations.
Well money isn't everything
True, but when has becoming poorer ever improved a situation?
This should not come as a surprise, because from its earliest days the overriding principle behind the European project has been to make life easier for capital, which is why multinational corporations like it so much. While the pro-employer bias has been there since the Treaty of Rome in 1957 it has become more pronounced in recent years as the slowdown in growth, entrenched high unemployment and the crisis in the eurozone have prompted calls for European labour markets to become more “flexible”.

I was messing around when I said money isn't everything but also pointing up one of the strange effects of brexit, that people nominally on the left are adopting arguments which not long ago were the exclusive domain of the right. This sense of the economic bottom line trumping everything.
I don't see how you can look at the way the media operate in this country and think anyone to the left of Blair will ever win again.
