While commentators have often sought to explain Brexit as a form of resistance to globalisation, Jan Eichhorn argued we should treat such conclusions with caution since there were many factors at play when it came to people’s political choices. He highlighted that attempts to link Brexit to particular social classes or age groups underplayed much of the division within these groups over the EU, but that identification with Englishness offered one of the best clues to understanding voting behaviour during the referendum.
