You are misunderstanding me. I am trying to say the vote for 'leave' might have been even bigger were it not for left-wing eurosceptics (such as myself) distaste for allowing the entire process to be organised and overseen by the Tories and/or UKIP
I say eurosceptic not hardcore Brexiteer as I think there are certain advantages to the union as it was in the late 90s but I am firmly against the overexpansion and superfederalisation that subsequently occured.
[edit] in fact you're not even misunderstanding me, you clearly didn't even read my post :/

I read your post, I was responding to this:

Many people who voted Leave, didn't vote Leave as a protest against austerity. They voted leave to regain sovereign control of the UK. This will include Immigration, Economics, Law, and Government policies.
To suggest people voted leave because of austerity, is plain and simple wrong because you make it sound like the UK depends on the EU/EZ - it does not. [In fact it is the other way round].
UK has its own sovereign currency, can set its own economic policies, and as a result, post 2008 Financial Crash, UK is the best performing economy in Europe based on GDP.
