My understanding is that there is a rural/urban divide over the benefits of


being in the EU; i.e., the idea that urban elites not only like the more continental aspects but also are accumulating wealth at the expense of everyday citizens. There is concern that the UK is becoming perhaps "less British" as migrants move into the country. Islamist attacks didn't help matters. There is also the perception that Britain has lost too much autonomy and representation as a part of the EU, that they don't benefit by the trade agreements.

All things that can be addressed IMO without the extraordinary move to exit the EU entirely. Which IMO they won't do at this point.
