We ostensibly voted for independence from foreign control, most liberals would support that if we were in Eastern Europe or Africa but are staunchly against the UK voting out of an organisation intent on becoming a Political & military power with us as a subordinate.
The fact that the status quo was overturned is actually quite impressive. Machiavelli would have been proud! Look at the strategy of the 1975 referendum.
You might ask why an organisation initially presented as a trading block since 1973 didn't have preferential trading agreements with the largest economies before we decided to Brexit.

You might ask why they were denying they wished to be a political and military force before the referendum.
Migration is an issue, if you search slough Polski Sklep you will be surprised how many have opened since 2004. If I see a well turned out, pretty, thin blonde lady in the high street I am surprised if she doesn't have an eastern European accent. We do have a Polish Club but that was from the war most are pretty old now.
Individually its fine but the sheer numbers have meant Slough have been forced to build 3 new schools in the last decade despite a declining native birth rate (most of the schools were filled with Sikhs and Muslims whose parents came over in the 60s - 80s until recently). We are millions of houses short but our tax take is down.
Most of the advertising reported to focus on that. I don't have anything other than a technical presence on Facebook or twitter because they are a pain so can't really express a view on that.
