>Authoritarian voters support Brexit, liberal ones don't.
I don't think that's an accurate analysis. As far as I can tell the vote was driven mainly by economic distress, media (which papers you read) and community (a lot of people just voted the same way their friends or family did).
>The London Tech scene (which skews left/liberal) seems to be hemorrhaging talented people to Berlin and other places.
I know a lot of people in the London tech scene and I only know two off the top of my head who have gone to Europe, and I don't think Brexit was a major reason for either of them.
I also haven't seen much of a significant rise in rates. If all the valuable talent is gone surely that means I'm going to be worth more?
>Meanwhile, inflation is so bad the supermarkets are quietly reducing the quantity in boxes
That's how inflation always works in supermarkets.
Funny you mention economic distress, because people always seem to ascribe the Trump victory to it to. Except that it's not borne out by any actual analysis of who voted and who didn't.
Yes, some very depressed areas voted for Brexit. But Liverpool didn't, and it's seriously poor.

The non-existent statistical analysis of who voted and who didn't that ascribes the vote to economic distress:
I alluded to a deadweight, or economic intertia, so yeah ... it's early days yet ... but it doesn't really matter because Brexit probably won't happen the way most people think it will ...
