I voted remain but do agree that the EU has major issues, just thought there was a better chance of improving things from inside the EU rather than outside. I my opinion there were and probably still are far too many unelected EU officials in Brussels with a massive Federalistic agenda and it is this combined with the immigration issues that have driven the rise in far right parties. I think that many who vote for them are not truely far right themselves, they just have no one else to vote for who seems to offer any serious solutions that address their concerns.
