5. What about rich Brexiters?

Ranging from the likes of Banks -what a suitable name for him! - to wealthy largely-rural areas in the south that voted for Brexit.

Although the cities in the South East went largely for Remain (as did Newcastle in the North!), the South East as a whole went for Brexit, and currently sends 4 Brexit MEPs, including His Nigelness himself, and Daniel Hannan, to the Europaean Parliament. The South East is not known as an area of particular deprivation: there are some deprived areas, but these are mostly in the Remain-voting cities.
