There should be a link between one's referendum voting record and one's tax code/tax rate.

There already is. If you voted Leave you probably don't have a tax code.

if government claims to know with certainty that a course of action is going to shrink the size of the economy and reduce tax receipts then doesn't it have some kind of duty to, er, oh, nevermind...

Apparently ABC1 tended to vote remain, and C2DE tended to vote leave. The irony here of course is that some of those complaining about the "£350 million" we hand over to the EU every week are net beneficiaries anyway, so it's not their money they're complaining about. But "tended" being the important part of my statement, and it shouldn't be used to make generalizations.

I don't like the way that some of the remain camp have started to stereotype the leave camp. I've seen some vile stuff posted on facebook. Characterizing the leave camp as obese and unemployed, and perhaps suggesting the people shouldn't vote unless they're "educated". The UK didn't get proper universal suffrage until 1948, and I'm not sure why people think removing this is progress.

why would anyone be surprised that ABC1 vote remain.
They are the sort that get performance related bonuse, shares etc and so have everything to gain from an endless supply of cheap labour and of course house price inflation

C2DE are the people who are having there wages suppressed by the influx of cheap labour.
