So, How to date a dual and do I have one or is duality a myth?

@Adam Strange thanks for the confirmation. I don’t know what David Cameron was thinking when he orchestrated Brexit….I think he might be ESE

He was saving his party, his in-group, over the needs of the country. There had been pressure from the voters of the Conservatives for a long time already to make a decision about leaving Europe. After several scandals within the party were leaked to the media, David Cameron used the BREXIT referendum to distract his voters from the internal affairs of his party and to halt its waning popularity. If he had not done so, the Conservatives would have lost several consecutive elections, while now they have won one after another. However, the Conservatives bought their success at the cost of the well-being of the whole country.

"But this is what the people wanted!", I already hear them shout in defence. For decades the tabloids have been promising the British the world if they left Europe and the politicians of both parties used Europe as a scapegoat for their own fuck-ups. This group delusion grew ever stronger the more the United Kingdom grew into a "water head", a country that produces nothing, but focuses solely on trading in hot air, id est stocks and shares on the financial market. All the wealth thus became centered around London, which is more of a country on its own, than part of the rest of the nation. Since London generates most of the nation's wealth and houses the politicians, all the investments by both business and government are focused here. Because all the infrastructure is already in London, for every pound that you invest in London, you get two pounds back, whereas for every pound invested in the rest of England you might earn at most one and a half pounds back, and Scotland and the hinterlands might get you at best only three quarters back.

The math is simple, but the societal impact enormous. Certain sectors such as the car industry were kept in the backlands through subsidies, but overall employment opportunities steadily decreased for everyone outside of London. This counted doubly for those with limited education, as they do not have a degree to change jobs easily with, nor do they have the money to invest in learning a new trade. This caused rising resentment from the people about their plight, but instead of rioting against the rich who exploit them, they followed their stories. The rich, like media mogul Rupert Murdoch, spun tales of promised lands once Europe would be deserted. What was in it for him was that Europe was planning to implement new tax legislature, which would decrease his wealth and constrict London's financial market practices. The politicians of the Conservative party were thus paid good money by Britain's rich to advocate for BREXIT. That's why the BREXIT campaign was so well-funded and ubiquitous, whereas REMAIN was rarely seen or heard.

Labour on the other hand was normally the Conservatives opponent, though due to the electoral loss the previous party leader stepped down and Jeremy Corbyn took over. Corbyn is an old timer who for a long time has been cherishing sentiments about leaving Europe and recreating the British Commonwealth. It's why he and Labour as a whole under his leadership never were outspoken against BREXIT, but pleaded for a vague and ambiguous middle ground instead. Of course, such a hazy third way could never stand against the prospect of freedom and prosperity that the tabloids had been promising the people for decades already. When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose... or so the British people thought.
