In Brexit vote, echoes of Trumpism minus Donald Trump
Brexit supporters mirror Trump voters, said Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, a pro-EU think-tank based in London, in that they tend to be older, white, less affluent, and less likely to live in urban areas. Also, as Trump vows to "Make America Great Again," Brexit backers are wistful for a bygone age. "There is a feeling among some that they’re trying to get back to when Britain was white, when England was more secure," Grant said.
