To me, not at all. But I voted to remain.
The fairly disparate Brexit coalition all want their own bit of Brexit. If your vote was mainly for an independent trade policy, then cutting EU immigration might be a price worth paying rather than being some sort a consolation if you don’t get it.
A lot of Brexiteers want different things from Brexit, and May chucked each major group a red line, and asking for any of them back will of course be ‘BETRAYAL!’
While I think Leavers do often have a legitimate complaint that they’re stereotyped, i also think a fair proportion fail to recognise that many of their frustrations arise from different and even conflicting priorities on their own side, rather than just from remainer resistance. Many came from opposite ends of the traditional political-social-economic spectrum, so they’re probably more heterogeneous in their motivations than they realise themselves in some cases.
