Brexit mostly became a vote on immigration by the end although leaving the EU would have little effect on our immigration policies. Most people likely voted Leave or Remain on that issue alone although neither option would have an affect on it. That's rather uninformed.
I'd say the Leave vote was the product of 25+ years of Euroscepticism and negative coverage about the European Union / Community, and moves for ever-closer union.
