This is elites vs people and urban vs rural.

I haven’t lived in the UK for more 15 years so I wasn’t eligible to vote.

But one of the things that bothered me about some of my relatives who are big Remainers, is that their main issue is that they want to live and work in the EU, and Brexit threatened that.

IE. they want the trade and labour laws of the UK to be optimized for their particular convenience - and they don’t even want to live in the country !

And that is the elites vs people problem.

We have an internationalist elite who are from nowhere, demanding that the people from somewhere defer to them, and dislocate their whole societies to accommodate them.

NO !

Then why are the leaders of the LEAVE movement Eton-Oxford graduates? The cream of the cream?

Next, you say "urban vs rural" - that's also false -- 45% of the rural areas voted REMAIN. The difference is higher than the 4% overall but still nearly 50:50 split in opinions. And it was 51:49 in rural Wales

So it wasn't a simple urban vs rural either

Live and work in other countries in the EU or in the UK-in-the-EU?
