All Boris wanted to do was become the PM, now he's worried that tanking the economy to get there might have been a step too far.

I'm imagining that Boris is that guy from John Carpenter's The Thing, who declines to take over as leader of the outpost because he knows subconsciously that he's the monster.

That's a little different, as that at least is talking about federal aid. This is talking about where their products go, so I suspect it's essentially measuring the proportion of the area's economic activity that's industrial or agricultural as opposed to service industry.

Eh, I can see someone making a protest vote to show the establishment they are mad as hell, but at the same time not really expecting anything to change. Then you get up in the morning and the markets are crashing and it's all doom and chaos on tv, and that certainly isn't what you thought you were voting for. Finding out your retirement savings dropped 20% overnight can do that.

I don't think anyone who was committed to the ideology of UKIP and other strong Leave faction had next morning voter's regret, those guys were thrilled to get a win and figure things will work out for the best. But in any referendum there are going to be a lot of folks (on both sides) who vote based on their feelings about the last 3 adverts they saw rather than in depth research or any particular ideological purity.

I don't think it's that unbelievable that a lot of people intending to lodge protest votes would backpedal on it once it turned out that a majority of people were lodging protest votes and it became no longer a protest vote but actual direction on policy for their nation

1 out of large number N people phone the Beeb / talk to their liberal twitter friend and say they voted leave but regret it. Absolutely there are some silly persons that really did do this because they thought the polls showing a stay win were absolutely safe. Enough to change the outcome? No way.

Rest of large number N doesn't say anything because they got what they wanted.

News stories run about regret / twits get retwitted because they're interesting and a "story", not necessarily because they're a common feeling.

Goddamn it, never protest vote like seriously. We're having enough trouble with Bernie-Or-Busters considering to vote Trump as a protest against Hilary or the DNC. Hold your nose and vote Hilary, vote Green or Libertarian depending on your convictions, stay home, or even vote Trump if you actually believe in his platform, but doing it just because you're a goddamn childish baby throwing a tantrum because you can't get what you want is just going to get you in more trouble than you actually want and that's what a lot of these people voted Brexit are realizing.

Trump would be in power during an economic recession and inevitably get blamed for it. He's running a campaign on the idea he's a businessman so he knows whats good for the american economy. He can do a lot as president, but the other branches of government would not work with him at all. It's actually in the republican party's best interest he loses this upcoming election beyond the supreme court nominations he'll have available.

Trump winning is bad but it's not the apocalypse. Cruz winning was the worst possible outcome and that is no longer in play. That being said in november we're gonna find out if Americans are as stupid as Britians.
