Brexit Metaphor No 133
Protons weigh 2,000 times more than electrons, yet the two have equal (though opposite) charges.
Brexiteers are electrons: light in substance but strong in charge. While Remainers are protons: anchored in substance, yet only able to cancel out (but not overpower) the charge of the electron.
Brexiteers, light in substance, don't have a plan because diverging futures are unknowable. While Remainers have a lot more mass because the pathways they can give for the future are actually taken from the present.
