Please, please stop spreading the lie that Brexit was to fight against neoliberalism

129. Those figures you've quoted aren't about Remain or Leave, though

(and you've copied the social grade figures into the age group by mistake - that should read "36% 37% 37% 35% 38% 47% &quot

This is about what goes along with the decision to Remain or Leave.

(for anyone else, here's the link to the detailed figures: http://lordashcroftpolls.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/How-the-UK-voted-Full-tables-1.pdf )

Take the figures for 'capitalism - good or ill' for Labour voters (I've taken Labour because I think we're thinking about people who vote similarly to ourselves) - Table 33, p.162
---- leave rem total
good 332 659 991
mix 408 704 1112
ill 500 793 1293

The ratio for those who think capitalism is good is about 2.0 remain for 1 leave; ill about 1.6. There's not much difference between the 2, with those who think capitalism good slightly more likely to vote Remain.

Now look at immigration Table 34 p.170
---- leave rem total
good 233 1372 1605
mix 298 509 807
ill 712 277 989

The ratio for those who think immigration is good is about 5.9 remain for 1 leave; ill about 0.4. There's a huge difference; those who think immigration is good are far more likely to have voted Remain, and those who think it's a force for ill far more likely to Leave. The opinions on multiculturalism show a similar pattern :

---- leave rem tot
good 436 1630 2066
mix 338 346 684
ill 467 181 648

Globalisation comes somewhere in the middle:

---- leave rem tot
good 436 1169 1605
mix 444 638 1082
ill 358 347 705
