To think that everyone voted Brexit for the one and same reason as you is delusional. Talking to friends in the UK, it appears that immigration was the main issue.

You really must stop assuming that all Brexiteers had the same motives as you. As I said, number 1 motive for voting Brexit was irrational fears about immigration.

My best friend is a uk solicitor, and I was shocked (after I finally asked her what she thought about the brexit referendum) when she apologised and admitted that she was a 'little englander'! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post youreavinalaff Posted April 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2019 Those who believe there should be another referendum for the sake of democracy must surely also believe that, if the second referendum was a "stay in the EU" victory then there will need to be a third referendum as the score would be 1-1. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
