'We don't exist to them, do we?': why working-class people voted for Brexit.
Working-class people were more likely to vote for Brexit. Lisa Mckenzie (Middlesex University) takes issue with the notion that these people were 'turkeys voting for Christmas'. They saw Brexit, with all the uncertainties it would bring, as an alternative to the status quo. De-industrialisation and austerity has taken a heavy toll on working-class communities - one which the middle-class often fails to grasp.
