I'm of the opinion that 75% of people who voted, whether it be to stop in, or out hadn't really got a clue of the finer details of what they were voting for, or fully understood the basics. ( I include myself by the way), apart from the obvious. Then you have no doubt a percentage that didn't even bother voting because their to busy holding their own lives together in...

We had to leave the EU for the one overriding reason that a majority voted for it in a referendum.
That essentially is THE reason, and I'm not saying it's a bad one per se.
The problem is that there are precious other good reasons, but when you have such a situation it causes a huge dilemma for politicians who naturally have to be seen to be democratic, but are faced with trying to pretend that there's more to it than simply that.
For the true Brexit believers and those equally convinced on the other side, it was less of a problem. But it was a huge issue for the people in the middle tasked with carrying it out but who were well aware of the realities.

The argument for remaining is passed so it bears little relevance, Brexit is imminent and I merely reached out to ask what current benefits supporters still see for their (personal) future in the UK.
In terms of remaining in the EU, I suppose it would have just been the status quo of keeping the benefits we already had and have experienced for the past 40 years (almost all my life). But against the current Brexit outlook [benefits of remaining]:
1. Affordable readily available food (not to mention food standards)
2. Affordable readily available medicines
3. Consistent employment benefits
4. Financial security
5. Flexible global mobility
6. Ability to have more international influence on global matters
Its not to say these things won't still be here, its just that Brexit is highly unpredictable and based on current assumptions and predictions, it appears these will become less and less reliable as time drifts on.
