THe problem with this vote was that neither side could really give anything concrete or positive for anyone to hold onto or make an informed decision. The EU in its current state isn't working, look at unemployment across the mainland, the UK is doing better than virtually all on this one, look at the financial mess in Greece, or Spain, or Portugal or Italy, all of whom are of have been on the edge of a cliff with regards to defaulting and dropping pout of the EU.
The Leave campaign gave promises they cannot hope to keep and ultimately like everyone else have absolutely no idea what will happen now. It could go completely tits up or it could work, but we just don't know!! The Remain campaign were such EU skeptics at heart themselves (esp Corbyn) that they could offer virtually no solid reasons to stay, certainly none they could really substantiate!! This led to simple arguments over subject that in actual fact the EU or the UKs Membership of had little bearing on - immigration and the NHS!! We can already control our borders, you still need a passport to get into the UK as we are not part of Schengen anyway and we are an island, so everyone has to come through a port somewhere whether by boat, truck, car or plane!! We have economic migrant immigration because we choose to allow it, not because the EU demands it.
