But I might view the situation differently if I were familiar with the arguments that were made by those in favor of Brexit.
We have relatives who voted Brexit "to get the foreigners out" that was all. I have heard some people mention some strange rules set by Europe as well but mainly it was the racism.
Brexiteers’s claimed reasons are broadly similar to those given by southern States wishing to give ideologically more palatable cover for keeping negros enslaved, and the real reasons are also more than a little analogous.
