"The Rift Between EU Remainers and Leavers in the Referendum Vote of 2016 Has Stuck"

"Yet this compromise will amount to little as long as the underlying divisions separating Britain's two tribes persist.
"That will happen unless the government responds to the real grievance of Leavers: that the prevailing free market model no longer works for them. It is no accident that Britain as well as the United States has experienced a fierce populist revolt. Both countries have been cheerleaders for economic liberalization since the 1980s under Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher."

Paul Wallace at Reuters argues that "[t]he paradox of Brexit is that the best way to mend the rift it exposed is by staying in the EU."
