Funny thing is, some of the strongest advocates of Brexit aren't super rich (Tory MPs must be rich is a common misconception). Well off? Sure, an MP's salary's very decent. But rich? Not necessarily. Conclusion: they're going ahead with it just to win a few more months in power.
Yes, for them, the trade-off "destroy the UK economy for decades, and break up the Union" is worth it if it lets them keep their jobs a little bit longer.
I think I prefer it when it's the rich ones pushing Brexit. At least I understand their motivation, even if I despise it!
