    • 2017 March 28, Alan Johnson, “Why Brexit Is Best for Britain: The Left-Wing Case”, in The New York Times‎[1], archived from the original on 9 November 2020:
      Ms. Watkins is a “Lexiteer,” as left-wing supporters of ‘Brexit’ like me are known. […] A counterweight to the anti-immigrant fear mongering of the former leader of the right-wing U.K. Independence Party, Nigel Farage, Lexiteers argued a left-wing, democratic and internationalist case for Brexit. […] Although Lexiteers have little patience for the national nihilism of “Davos Man,” the globalist elite, we are no xenophobes.
