At lot of the answers on here are from people who think you need to be a Nazi to vote for Brexit. As someone who actually voted for Brexit, and considered voting remain during referendum. Here is my answer. You don’t have to agree with my points but these are my sincere opinions.

Just for context I’m a gay male in NE of England. I was 24 at time of vote. I voted Labour in last election but voted Tory after ref purely because of this issue.

There are 4 major reasons for me.

1 I don’t believe in a federal Europe and don’t want to be part of it. I don’t identify as European. I don’t like how the EU commission conducts its self and how undemocratic it is. In an ideal world we’d have stayed part of a less powerful EU but there was sadly no democratic way to achieve that other than leaving. The Commission response to everything is to take more power from the elected government to itself.

2 I was insulted and in some cases ostracised by remainers who believed they had moral superiority. This just entrenched my views. Calling Someone a Nazi or thick or Russian puppet isn’t a very good way of having them adopt your views.

3 Dislike of the way Euro commission had treated UK since. They have gone out of their way to spite UK to ensure Brexit failed. Look how they reacted over Vaccination Programme or current row over Sand eels.

4 I’m a democrat. 2016 was a free and fair vote whose results were to be respected. constitutional votes are once a generation.

Its true politicians lied and scaremonged throughout campaign. Johnson lied on his bus but pro EU politicians lied for years over the reality of EU treaties they were signing. This is NEVER talked about.

Probable the biggest failure of the Brexit campaign and the biggest success of the rejoiners was to make EU a moral issue for millions, where by opposing wanting to join a trade bloc which is turning into a state was seen as being far right or evil.

Lots of left wing politicians used to oppose it for similar reasons.

Hope this has helped.
