Add one to the tally, zorra. Brexit made me leave the UK
Same here.
I wasn't going to keep on paying through my taxes the pensions of the kind of people who detested me simply because of where I was born (the proportion of Leave votes was much higher amongst older Britons).
Also a hard-nosed analysis of the whole thing yielded the conclusion that Brexit would significantly accelerate the downwards spiral of the UK.
It's thanks to such hard-noses analisys that most of my savings were protected from being hit by the fall in the British Pound when the Referendum vote yielded a Leave as result and in the subsequent years - I "smelled the wind" even before the vote and moved most of my money and assets out of the UK and the Pound in preparation for a "Leave" result.
Decoupling from the UK, including leaving the country, were some of my best decisions ever, as I keep getting reminded periodically everytime there are news of the UK government doing yet another highly authoritarian action (I don't even follow their Economy anymore)
