I'm not sure whether that's the case or whether it's just that the borders are wrong.  Since the June article, it has become more clear that Brexit is about recovering sovereignty from a supranational organization.  The market state was an interesting idea, but I don't think that's how things are panning out.

Brexit was about Olde England rebelling against Globalism.  Wales didn't vote out, nor did Scotland, London or Northern Ireland, though Wales was close. In the end, it was the old inward looking economy (and social strata) that voted out.  Trump voters have similar profiles.
