Because the Britons got betrayed on the biggest issue - immigration. The powers that be just replaced the immigrants with different kinds. It seems that there is nothing the native population of a western country can do to stem the inflow of foreigners even when the ruling people have clear mandate - like in Italy and UK.

People voted brexit to stop non European immigration — specifically Muslim immigration. “ The movement of people in Europe fair enough. But not from Africa, Syria, Iraq, everywhere else, it's all wrong” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/06/27/this-video-shows-what-some-brexit-supporters-are-fearful-of-muslim-immigration/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/06/27...

    Yes. You’ll also notice correlation between brexit voting and educational achievement, one with income, and interestingly one with prevalence of leaded petrol during formative years (which is linked to age) Weigh brexit vote by tax paid per year, lifetime tax paid, or years having to live with the consequences, by educational attainment, and you get a remain landslide.

    Why didn't Theresa May implement that policy if that's what people were voting for? Sounds like pretty fucking stupid leadership to me

      Because we took back control from the unelected Eurocrats to give to elected leaders like May (appointed after tory MPs had a public spat), Johnson (after a few thousand tory members with average age 64 got to vote for the funny man off tv), Truss (selected by MPs) and Sunak (just appointed by the tory back bench as nobody else seemed to exist)

  If they did then it was dumb as it's had the opposite effect.

The actual problem is that citizens get into their head that every immigrant that comes into the country is there to take jobs from citizens when the opposite is the case; immigrants are desired by the country to fill roles citizens don’t want to take.
