Ironically, Cambridge scientists have discovered that Remain supporters are better at coping with change than Leavers.
They tested 332 UK citizens by giving them a task where the rules changed while they were doing it. The researchers found that Remain voters showed the most flexibility. Leavers also came up as less creative than Remainers.
The scientists found that people with "tight, impermeable mental boundaries" dislike changing their minds when the facts change. Such people also tend to be socially conservative and ethnocentric.
Note that this has nothing to do with age, intelligence or education.
How ironic - Remainers will manage better when things really start to change.
Certainly it seems that leading Brextremists are worried about the consequences of what they have started. Some are putting in place their own personal backstop.
The latest is Mr Lawson, who chaired the Vote Leave campaign. He now lives in France and has applied for French residency.
Meanwhile Mr Farage has ensured his two daughters have German passports, though he says he isn't applying for one himself. This may be because he has applied for a job with Mr Trump.
What about Sir James Dyson, our top entrepreneur, worth nearly £10 billion, and a big supporter of a no-deal Brexit? He has just announced he is moving his HQ to Singapore, and is moving production of his electric car there too.
Do they know something that they aren't telling us?
