Leave voters remaining calm on Brexit fallout

There have been a lot of gloomy forecasts flying around recently with regard to the potential Brexit fallout. Some of the most alarming predictions came from the Bank of England which foresees, in the worst case, a fall in GDP of 8 percent and a rise in unemployment to 7.5 percent (from its current level of 4.1 percent). For many 'Leave' voters though, the doom and gloom surrounding Brexit has left them undeterred.

According to a recent YouGov survey, only 46 percent said they think such a drop in GDP would be 'a bad thing' - compared to 71 percent of 'Remain' voters. A spike in unemployment is seemingly more of a worry, but still only 69 percent see this as bad - compared to 91 percent of Remainers. These differences are consistent throughout the other scenarios, with a 25 percent fall for the pound and a 6.5 percent inflation rise also doing little to unsettle the calm Leave waters.
