A recent opinion poll showed about 2 supporting remaining in the single
market

so why did they vote to leave then?

what have they gained if we just sign straight back up to the single
market paying in 250 million pounds per week (and getting no
subsidies back)

Nothing. That's the tragedy.

so why did they vote that way then?

that was the question

I answered it on Friday:

Top reason for voting "leave" (49%) was to regain local control of
lawmaking, second (33%) was "regaining control of the borders" and third
(only 13%) was "dislike expansion of EU and its powers".

The majority of the 49% were seduced by talk of straight bananas, and
have little idea how many of the freedoms they enjoy today are courtesy
of the EU.
