The approach used to achieve the Brexit vote was to lie about everything and to write off rational reality-based objections as "Project Fear."

Unfortunately in international politics, winning a vote at home doesn't translate to a winning move internationally.

The huge disconnect between how Brexiters think the world works and how the world really works isn't subject to a popular vote or to media spin. It is going to cause the UK - well, England - catastrophic problems over the coming decade.
