The average Brit is now poorer than the average Pole. Dominating finance hasn't worked out well for the citizens of the UK.

Dominating finance + Brexit.

Brexit worked out fairly badly for rich folks. I'm not sure how well it worked for the folks who were voting for it, but it's possible "take the rich folks down a few notches" even if it lowers the median income, if you yourself don't earn the median income, is still seen as worth it.
