Note that the split was between classes, a term that has been anathema in western politics since the 80s or so.

Present and former industrial workers basically all voted leave, while knowledge workers and finance voted remain.

What is telling is how the former class' way of life was ravaged first by thatcher's union busting, and then by management (under pressure from finance) either moving production abroad, or shipping cheap workers in.

Knowledge workers, particularly the kind that is frequenting this very site, have a much easier time moving around as the needs or desires require. Especially as the market segment prefer younger employees, unlikely to be "burdened" by family and such.

Do you have a source for that claim?

According to The Australian:

"Leave was backed by almost two-thirds of those considered “working class and non-workers”, meaning skilled manual workers through to those with lower grade jobs, pensioners or welfare dependants."

'shipping cheap workers in'.. and from where did these workers come? The EU perhaps?

You omitted the young Vs old divide.

Hence the general election.

Don't think it is "hence". Whether to exit the EU or not is not up for vote.

Yes, it is. The commission have said article 50 is reversible, and intermediate arrangements can be indefinite. One party is campaigning for another referendum. And so on.

Your original comment was about mandate; that is what I will be voting for.

I have no problem with that.
