Richard Dawkins wants to move to New Zealand to get away from Brexit 'madness'

Scientist says half the population of Britain and US would prefer a country 'where intellect might be appreciated'

The British scientist Richard Dawkins has said he would like to move to New Zealand as a refuge from the "madness" of a post-Trump, post-Brexit northern hemisphere.

"America had just gone mad, and Britain had gone mad in a slightly less dramatic way with Brexit," he told The Project, a New Zealand current affairs program.
