Those are two things. It is sooo much more complicated than that.
My sis-in-law, with whom we're staying atm, is the only Leave voter I know.

She voted out to "fück 'em all" and to send some more cash to the NHS where her other sister works.

I'm fairly sure she couldn't define sovereignty and it's not about immigration. She's Cornish so:
1. There are no immigrants here so they don't feel swamped in the slightest.
2. Don't matter if they're from Devon, Romania or Timbuk-fücking-tu, they're from the wrong side of the Temar and should all fück back off up country.

All these articles and letters and posts from Leave voters saying "All 17.4m voted for the exact same reasons I did" are getting on my tits.

There were myriad reasons which is why, given the closeness of the vote, there is no national majority for any outcome.

Which, as we all know, is why this country's political establishment is in the clusterfück it currently is.

This is why JRM feels he can push the govt into a hard Brexit. And why Sourbury, Ken Clarke and the Remainers think this then allows them to overturn the vote.

I reckon I've studied pretty much every govt since Walpole and can't think of it every being this fücked.

When Lord North lost the Septics, we had CJ Fox waiting in the wings which then led within a year to Pitt the Younger.

Suez led to Supermac.

Asquith had DLG, Chamberlain had WC, and the Tories twice had the bøllocks to actually split on the principle of free trade.

Today? Fücked.
