One
of the key themes which serves as the source of most of the undercurrent of discontent
for leave voters is neo-liberal economics. The adoption of neo-liberal principles
by the UK from Thatcher in the 1980s has divided the UK as much as it has
progressed the country. The outcome of this is that the frustrations of those
negatively affected has been built up over decades and been released in the
form of Brexit, primarily on the grounds of immigration. In this blog, I will
argue that a combination of the ignored factor of neo-liberal economics as well
as opinions on immigration culminated in creating Brexit.
