@critialcloudkicker Okay, so, basically: a big issue in the UK is the idea that immigration is going to negatively affect us and our ability to get jobs (research has shown that immigrants have little effect on our job market or our economy). What political parties like UKIP do is invoke scaremongering, telling these people that Muslims and other non-British citizens are the cause of all their problems (sounds familiar right?). In essence, Brexit was used by UKIP and others to say to people "this will solve the problem of having too many immigrants in the country," and so most of Brexit's legitimate voters voted to leave because they dislike ideas like immigration, multiculturalism, or essentially anything to do with people who aren't British. UKIP are *notoriously* racist, and so are their followers. The singular reason people voted to leave is because they hate other cultures and think that the economy would be better off with our population locked in.
