“Everyone will suffer for Leave voters wrongly trusting economic charlatans like Mr Gove” – New York Times op-ed

Philippe Legrain writes, in his op-ed piece for The New York Times:

The young, the higher educated and city dwellers, the most dynamic members of Britain’s economy, voted to Remain. They were outvoted by the old, the less educated and non-urban English, who often rely on taxpayer largess.

With economic opportunities stunted, everyone will suffer for Leave voters wrongly blaming hard-working, taxpaying European migrants for everything they dislike about modern Britain and wrongly trusting economic charlatans like Mr. Gove.
