Brexit is happens soley on the grounds of immigration. That was the decisive factor for leavers and the leave campaign. Unfortunately the Remains did an awful job of countering their arguments.

Reminder: Brexit is about the dismantling of our working and environmental protections, and the sale of the NHS - and us, its customers - to the US healthcare industry. It is about the auction of British people to the global financial-industrial machine.
It was sold on the back of a fear of immigration. It will be delivered to the oligarch class as an Easter present. Your health, your education, your air quality, your infrastructure, your rights of redress and indeed your rights under the ECHR are the cost.
Brexit is about the import of at-will employment and the explosion of zero hours contracts. It is about low taxes and low levels of state support, vanishing infrastructure, tougher restrictions on unionisation.
The price of those famous trade deals with other nations will be a stripping away of "red tape" - that's to say standards and protections - and the commodification of users of our public services: education, healthcare, utilities...
It won't even mean less immigration - not that that's desirable - because we need immigration to make our economy work, and because we'll have to do deals on immigration to get access to markets like India.
The entire Brexit agenda has come apart. I cannot think of one single thing - not fishing, not farming, not public services, not trade, not the finance industry - that is going to see the promised benefits.
Its entire function is as the trigger of a Conservative right wing fire sale, trading away the last of the things Margaret Thatcher didn't flog off. The only profits will be made in the volatility of international financial trading.
It is a thing born of electoral fraud and blatant contempt for reality which persists only because the bombastic drivel of Farage and Johnson impresses local constituency associations and terrifies MPs.
