I don't think that they would have anything to gain by doing otherwise.

Some interesting facts so far e.g. 1/3 of leavers think that leaving will be bad for the economy, but still believe that leaving is the right thing to do.

Overall, 49% think that leaving will be bad for the economy (bolstered by 2/3 of remainers who think it will bad), 35% think it will be good for the economy and 16% think that it won't make any difference. It must follow, therefore, that 1/3 of remainders think that remaining in the EU will be bad for the economy!

Overall results of Brexit on the impact of reducing immigration:

45% good, 24% bad and 31% no difference.

The majority think that immigration is a negative thing (58%), but this has decreased since 2013 when 74% thought that it was a bad thing.
