Brexit Opponents Need to Look in the Mirror

Brexit Opponents Need to Look in the Mirror, Weekly Standard Blog, June 24, 2016, "As I pointed out, the Remain campaign had the advantage of being able to raise fears about an unknown future, and the advantage of being able to campaign on the status quo. It also had the advantage of being able to call on an unlimited supply of famous people to oppose Brexit. And yet it lost. You have to conclude that a lot of people didn't regard the status quo as all that great. But I fear that quite a few EU backers are likely to blame the following things for their loss: a) Fascists; b) Racists; c) Liars; d) The man at the pub. Well, if they really want to argue that over half the British public are that terrible, that's their right."
