I see Brexit as a proxy for the long-term malaise in the UK that's seen a series of governments elected that are in the grand scheme of things visionless, directionless and terminally inward-looking (when they aren't joining in on the latest US international aggression).

Brexit won't solve any of the various problems its proponents supposedly object to. Hell, even if the UK leaves the EU in January, it won't "get it done" as the easily bored seem to hope, it'll just be the start of the next phase of torturous negotiations while the economy continues to tank. Next year will drive that home.

As things stand, winning the next election will be a poisoned chalice for whatever party gets in. If things have seemed messy over the past three years or so, I fear we've seen nothing yet.
