Why would someone take decisions and vote against their own personal interests?
We are now seeing the predicted economic turbulence as the Government are making firmer plans about the UK exit from the EU.
Most impartial economic observers, during the run up to the referendum, thought that a leave vote would result in further economic problems.
So why did 52% of the population vote for it? Is it connected to confidence, if you don't think your situation is capable of improving then if there is a chance of change then why don't take it?
Obviously when we examine the motives of seventeen million voters the situation is obviously more nuanced than that but I think fear and a lack of self confidence has something to do with it.
Cheers
