If you are referring to the motives for voting leave by some of the population, you might be right. But if they were intelligent enough to have been aware of my argument, they would have voted leave on that basis.

You presumably agree with my description of German hegemony even if you don't see it as a reason to leave the EU.
Bringing the subject of racism into unconnected threads seems to be his penchant at the moment

Besides, even if some actually voted to leave for racist reasons, they were at perfect liberty to do so. Some may not agree with it, some may not like it, but a democracy involves letting people have their say. This includes views different to ones own.
