Yes, these people can be incredibly boring, indeed. However, those who analyse, assess, and then comment on the potentially ruinous, but certainly detrimental, after effects are a different story entirely. Slandered as experts by right wing politicians cashing in (both figuratively, and literally) on a disenfranchised elecorate's inadequate level of informedness, the have been right, and will be right, as you already have begun to see in the last few days.

Once you guys have deported, or scared away, a few million immigrants (as promised by leading Tories and UKIP alike), we shall see what remains of that economy. Especially once the MFI sector has been fully hit.

You may find a leader to step forward. Unfortunately, she will still have no plan how to manage the UK's exit from the EU. Which, if I may be so blunt, is the result of one of the most reckless, short-sighted, and deceitful political campaigns in Europe after 1945.
