Brexit hasn't 'gone through' yet but if you are referring to this investigation being the reason people voted for Brexit I can't see where you have evidence of that and it rather contradicts your statement about immigration. Lost me.

It only doesn't make sense if you still believe in the integrity of democracy, rather than it being fairly evident that democratic votes in the "information age" are largely decided via mass media manipulation and a form of viral advertising.
Powerful people with vested interests decided that Brexit was the best path for them to achieve the things they are seeking to achieve, therefore Brexit happened. The same goes for Trump, now quite obviously. He ran a campaign that placed a large emphasis on "draining the swamp" in Washington; instead it already looks like the Washington Swamp is going to be declared a national park, and all of the corrupt ****ers in it will be a protected species. Such surprised.
