Abstract

The political economic transformation of Britain has resulted in many individuals ‘winning’ through social mobility and others ‘missing out’. However, the effect of these gains and losses has not been assessed regarding voters’ position in the Brexit vote. Andrew McNeil and Charlotte Haberstroh show that the Brexit cleavage is influenced by both an individual’s social origin and destination position.
