I have a job I do have friends who have banking jobs who also voted to leave
In London? Then they voted to lose their jobs. Because there is no reason for London to be the financial powerhouse it has been outside of their role in the EU. Once the exit is complete, those people have no purpose and they know it.
BTW, congrats to all the smart Brits who threw off the yoke of oppressive EU control.
Exchange 'smart' for 'old' and that would be the more likely voter pool. It was HUGELY divided among generational lines - with the young people wanting to remain.
Millions and millions of people are getting fed up with the millions of regulations governments in the USA and the EU have put in place. Every year, we get a huge number of new regulations that add to our costs, stifle growth and increase government power. And these regulations are defined not by our elected officials, but by highly compensated career bureaucrats. Here are EU and USA examples;

A priest in Suffolk, England used to hire a man to climb a ladder to change his lightbulbs. That was fine until the European Union Working at Heights Directive banned this activity
The United States has its own share of stupid rules like specifying the number of cherries that must be in fruit cocktail or the 11 different allowed ways to pack pineapple in a can
All those EU "Rules" that members of the EU must follow is loss of Sovereignty.
The 2 Main issues for Exit were Immigration & Sovereignty. Every Law in the UK must have a clause in it saying it is subject to EU Law & Approval. Think about that for a minute.

There you go again with those assumptions. They voted to bring their country back.
The problem is that many are migrating to England to get those benefits and it is putting their own people at the back of the line. The brits have lost jobs to the migrants from other countries in the EU and they want their sovereignty back.
Sounds kind of familiar.. outsiders coming here for all the free stuff they can get ;putting the American economy in the john.
The Brits' problems are theirs.
The sovereignty arguments are getting a little stale. They joined the EU on their own. No one forced them into it. They went into it with their eyes wide open.

Business Foreign banks warn of crash and big lay-offs in the City after Brexit vote
“Overseas banks currently using the UK as a base for accessing the EU market and employing an estimated 115,000 staff are likely to be looking closely at their operations in the UK in the context of the leave vote,” said Simon Hunt, UK head of banking and capital markets at PwC.
Probably not too smart to wish ruin on America's largest trading partner,.......unless you're a world anarchist.
My political philosophy is actually "Voluntaryist". Which means I believe that government should be a voluntary association of men. I believe that our government, whether it pretends to be a democracy or not, is not a democracy(or a Republic for that matter). The people overwhelmingly despise our government, and when they vote, they vote for the lesser of two evils. They vote to protect themselves from the government, or from those who want to use their economic positions to exploit the people.
And the people themselves are being manipulated by a handful of elites, who turn the people against each other, distracting them with petty issues, mainly through their control of the "mass-media". They don't inform, they keep the people ignorant and alarmed, to further their own agendas.
With that said, the actual outcome of a voluntary society, would look a lot like tribalism. The people who would volunteer to enter a society together, are people who share common values and common interests, and thus, in the vast-majority of cases they would be related to each other. Basically, they would form a nation in the traditional definition of the word. Like the "Cherokee Nation", a nation bound together by blood and history.
So by extension, voluntaryism is tribalism, and tribalism is nationalism. Men by their nature are tribal, and thus, men by their nature are nationalists.
But a man only loves the nation that he loves. That he feels at home in. Because a nation is a family, it is a home. The world as it is, is made up of a bunch of fake nations in which no one feels at home. And in most cases, they need to die.
I don't care how they die, or if some rich bankers lose their money. The world will go on, and a better world will be the result.
