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