The point being made by you and the originator of this comment is designed to imply that these people were campaigning for Brexit for inappropriate reasons, when in actual fact, with or without that tax, they would have voted Brexit anyway.

And others are concerned that low taxes might mean health or social care isn't there when they need it for their family. Always seemed to me to be a short sighted, 'money now' view, unless you're incredibly rich.
Sometimes I think people just vote for change regardless of the actual issue. Particularly if they are unhappy with their life and they need someone to blame/punish. Also to kick it in the teeth to whoever is in power and they don't like. Such people can easily be manipulated by populist politicians or the media.
