英语语法分析？

If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what itcould do to their country’s economic prospects?

despite 后面引导的是状语从句吗？它的句子成分是怎么样的，为什么我找不到它的谓语动词啊

Answer 1

despite后面其实就是一个单词warnings ，并没有引导从句。what 引导的句子是warning的定语从句。

Answer 2

despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?
despite是尽管的意思，是介词，不能引导从句的；
它的句子成分是：what it could do to their country’s economic prospects,修饰的是前面的warnings；

Answer 3

这是 if引导的条件状语从句，despite就只是个介词，不能引导状语从句的，if引导的整个句子是主语，then后面那个句子是谓语，what引导的句子修饰前面的warning。
