Abstract: A desire to understand the UK voting to leave the European Union continues to attract attention. We generate a multi-dimensional map of the economic geography of Brexit voting at the regional level, visualising hitherto unidentified insights on the regional manifestation of leave voting. While we find broad patterns consistent with national heterogeneities and the geographies of discontent, we also demonstrate that support for Brexit locates in a far more homogenous set of regions than support for remaining n the EU. Our conclusions apply at the constituency and local authority levels andare robust to inclusion of additional cultural and economic regional characteristics.
