It's UKIP and a handful of Tory and Labour politicians whose main problem was freedom of movement.
None of them care about the payment to the EU imo. It's nothing compared to the size of government budgets especially if you factor in the boost of the single market. |
I would say the voting public are wanting freedom of movement gotten rid of and no money going to Europe ,to them that is what they voted for ,it's certainly what i voted for

However, Scotland would probably go for a referendum and maybe Northern Ireland and Wales will follow too.
Many of the immigrant related problems are really failures by the UK government and local government to come up with a plan to manage immigrants in a way that offsets the disadvantages experienced by UK nationals.

Nobody says we won't be able to trade with Europe ,we will, just not for free.
Should also add that that it shouldn't be that costly either since we already have the required standards in place ,the only extra expense would be a tax which all other countries have to pay anyway
