After a year of trying to understand the motivations, my only conclusions are:

(a) it's all faith-based and unless you're a "believer" there will be nothing to understand - proof denies faith, after all; or
(b) now that the stated benefits have been discredited and it's becoming apparent that the deal will not be a good one, people who voted to leave don't want to admit that there will be no benefits to any of us; or
(c) it was all based on xenophobia all along and the proponents don't want to admit that.

Pretty much sums it up. And still not one of them can point to a real, tangible benefit of Brexit.

Yes and yes. Not only can they not point to real, tangible benefits but the benefits they thought would arise are disappearing, one by one. Today it's the fact the Govt. has launched a migration study http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40734504. No prizes for guessing they'll use that to back peddle on reducing numbers. Much to the fury of the bus people.
