This is very cool news.
What was the MAIN reason for BRexit to begin with?
It’s been so long, I forgot.
They’re just tired of losing sovereign decisions to Brussels in general. I don’t know (or remember) if there was a single issue that broke them but I do recall I was actually in London for a week leading into the Brexit vote and there was a lot of talk about how Brussels was making so many regulations on how a teapot should be made.
Don’t know if that is true or note - but if you want to tick of a Brit, mess with their tea.
Another explaination (notice the Deep State [civil service] at work here)

Immigration and right of passage within the EU, I think.

“What was the MAIN reason for BRexit to begin with?”
There were always a variety of irritants (the UK is always a net Bill Payer into the EU kitty), but I believe the big one, and the one that broke the camel’s back, was the EU forcing them accept a lot of immigrants, who became public charges and security problems.
The main reason depended on whom you asked.
As per what the majority of those who SAID they voted Leave in 2016, said in 2016, it was immigration by nationals of other EU countries that was the most given reason.
This is understandable - in the ten years after 2004 you had nearly 2 million Central Europeans moving to the UK. Central Europeans countries joined in 2004 and the EU gave countries like the UK, France, Germany, netherlands the ability to hold off on immigration for 4 years and also to evict EU immigrants who didn’t have a job in 3 weeks. Germany and the Netherlands implemented these rules. The UK didn’t. So people went to the UK to work.
The people who lost the jobs were largely the white-van drivers. There became the stereotype of the Polish plumber - a guy who could give you quality work at a low price any time of the day. Before 2004, when I lived in Sussex, you were terrified of hiring white van blokes - they’d overcharge and never complete the work
Major causes for Brexit:
1. Immigration to to take advantage of the socialist welfare state. London is longer British in any meaningful way.
2. EU regulations that gave fishing rights in U.K. waters to foreigners, and many other regulations that hurt U.K. business.
3. Destruction of free speech. British do like to speak freely, and the shut up and take it movement ran into resistance.
But mostly immigration and the resulting crime wave.
Yes. Vacuum cleaner regulations from Brussels.
