Please, please stop spreading the lie that Brexit was to fight against neoliberalism

136. It correlates much more strongly with views against immigration and multiculturalism

And to say giving the actual figures "obscures the data", when a moment ago you were trying claim there's a correlation with the view on capitalism, is pretty laughable. You wanted to use capitalism as a proxy for neoliberalism; the figures show there is zero correlation, positive or negative, between support for capitalism and the vote.

You claim "attitudes toward capitalism are overwhelmingly negative, even in London". No, that's not true; for the whole country, 39% see it as a force for good, and 30% a force for ill. The only region where more think it a force for ill in is Scotland (34% good, 36% ill), and, despite your thesis, they voted Remain.

Men and women voted in exactly equal proportions for leave and remain (page 5); there's no point in talking about 'men'.

Yes, there's a correlation of 'Leave' with age (also p.5); there's also a correlation between age and attitudes about multiculturalism (pp.110-1), social liberalism (pp.118-9), the green movement (pp.134-5), globalisation (pp.142-3) and immigration (pp 166-7). For all of those, the older age groups are significantly more against them. Capitalism, on the other hand, is more popular with the older age groups (pp.158-9). What this shows is that older people are socially conservative and isolationist, but quite happy with capitalism.

You point to employment. Yes, those not working (who are primarily the retired) were large Leave voters. They were 45% of the poll. If we look at their attitudes to see if they are higher or lower than that in the political attitudes (p.51), we find, with 'good' and 'ill' pairs:

Multiculturalism 39% 51%
Social liberalism 40% 51%
feminism 42% 48%
green movement 41% 55%
globalisation 41% 49%
internet 44% 50%
capitalism 44% 46%
immigration 39% 49%

so they tend to dislike it all - even the internet. But the one that's closest is capitalism.

You really are totally wrong when you try to make this about capitalism. The figures are literally in front of you. Capitalism is the one attitude that has no correlation at all.
