In a normal situation I'd be amused that the Tory base will almost certainly make the worst choice and pivot off the limits off electability to match us, but the fact that Leadsom will be our PM till 2020 and is probably going to immensely screw up the Article 5 nomination (including Nargle The Fargle being included in the official negotions and the serious consideration of just trading with the EU under WTO rules) is just too much.
Well, you know it's not just your country that's getting screwed up here, no?
I have acquaintances and friends who work in companies (foodstuffs) exporting to the UK who are worried about their jobs at the moment because of sterling plunging off a cliff.

Indeed (not you personally, I hasten to add). I'd imagine there's a pretty strong correlation between the Leave vote and anti-Irish sentiment (and indeed anti-X sentiment in general, for all values of X not white, English-speaking, and nominally Protestant). We might view it as the Ulsterisation of English and Welsh politics.
On this point, it's interesting to note that Merseyside was the only ceremonial county in the North and Midlands to vote Remain.
