3. Ten things I don’t understand
1) Why did Cameron agree to a referendum?
2) Why are people surprised by the result?
3) Are referendums good for democracy?
4) Why did the #remain camp lose when they had all the resources?
5) Why did Wales vote #leave when it benefited significantly from EU
investment?
6) Why did Scotland and Northern Ireland vote #remain?
7) Why does no-one have a post #Brexit plan except Scotland?
8) Unexpected outcomes
1) For the UK? Two political parties in meltdown not to mention the
economy
2) For Europe? Will #Frexit be next?
9) Can we say the people of the UK voted to leave the EU?
10) What does this mean for sustainability?
13. Reactions to #Brexit
“The first dilemma is understanding what exactly the
electorate meant by backing Leave….The result was not a
simple rejection of the EU but also a howl of protest against
the impact of globalisation and migration that has eroded
national sovereignty, identity and economic security.” FT
Editorial 25/26 June 2016
“Poorer voters have declined to be bullied and they have
asserted the primacy of their national parliament in an
expression of civic engagement. London has been given a
long overdue introduction to the strength of feeling outside the
capital.” Iain Martin, Author and Political Commentator
24. We didn’t actually mean vote
leave
We didn’t actually mean few
immigrants
We didn’t actually mean more
money for the NHS
25. Reactions to #Brexit
“The thread through it all was deep
disgruntlement with a political and economic
system that is seen as rigged agains the hard-
working classes.” Philip Stephens, FT, 25/26
June 2016
“This is probably the most disastrous
single event in British History since the
second world war.” Martin Wolf, Writer, FT,
25/26 June 2015

29. Reactions to #Brexit
“Although they are at opposite ends of the
country, London and Scotland appear to share
a sensibility – internationalist, anti-
conservative if not anti-Conservative – that
fares badly in the space in between.”

37. Towards More Sustainable
Transport Solutions
1) Understand the context, be curious, think the
unthinkable
2) Identify and connect with all your
stakeholders (Keep your friends close and
your enemies closer, Sun-Tzu, Chinese
General and military strategist, 400 BC)
3) Learn how to adapt to complex situations
(like water to a pitcher)
4) Get out more and see for yourself.
