I’ve seen the question raised in a number of places as to why many people outside of London voted for Brexit while the majority of people in London (remember a third still didn’t) voted to remain. What could be the reason behind that?
Some have said that immigration was a factor. Certainly London is naturally a cosmopolitan city (it has been for centuries) and immigration is perhaps better accepted here as part of London life. But I think it is much too simple to point the finger at just one reason. There in itself of course lies the whole challenge of what to do next.
With so many different factors involved in the campaigns how can we find the answers to these question now and much more importantly how can we solve the issues of concern raised by all sides as we move ahead with Brexit.
In my article this week, published in a number of papers across London, I look at the opportunities and difficulties that our city faces as a result of the country’s decision to leave the EU. I also ask the question, what trade-offs will we have to make to get a good deal for London?
Our Prime Minister has stated that Brexit means brexit so what do we need to do now to become good neighbours with the EU instead of reluctant tenants?
