    Default Globalisation

    I don't recall this theme being strongly mentioned in the campaign, although other words may have been used.

    So this commentary in The Guardian is noteworthy:https://www.theguardian.com/business...-globalisation

    A key passage:
    This was more than a protest against the career opportunities that never knock and the affordable homes that never get built. It was a protest against the economic model that has been in place for the past three decades.
    It is ironic that many of those who have campaigned against TTIP for example and globalisation are generally found on the Left, who mainly voted to Remain.

    David,

    Hopefully cooler heads will prevail. There will be a painful adjustment, not only in Europe, but globally; however, I think it is possible the UK will be better off in the long run. Other countries, to include France and Italy are reportedly considering leaving also. When it comes to economics, the experts have a poor track record. The EU by most accounts has weakened NATO, so from a collective security aspect little is lost there,

    Not the same, but most predicted the colonies would fail when we separated from England. The world doesn't stand still, it changes continuously.
