(587 posts)I am not sure where you live, but where I live, the biggest issues people have are unelected technocrats holding authority over a country they don't live in and where they have zero responsibility to the voters.
As far as immigrants, I have been in the UK for 40+ years and it has always been a diverse nation and there's never been a problem with that. What people DO have a problem with is long wait times at hospitals, inability to get their children into schools, house prices that mean most will never have the chance to own a home, and a distinct lack of jobs.
If you look at what the citizenry charged Cameron with in the renegotiation with the UK, he pretty much failed at it - and the EU said "and don't dare come asking for more, that's all you're getting!"
...and that just exacerbated the existing problem and feelings that led to the dissatisfaction with the EU in the first place.
