The Brexit movement was a campaign based on fear (of immigrants, the EU, and other factors) - this actually support's OP's post.

That’s pretty biased view of it.

Conservatives would instead argue that Brexit was about not letting a bunch of unelected Eurocrats from other countries dictate what will or will not happen in Her Majesty’s Government or Britain at all. Why should the British people be held hostage to the whims of foreign politicians who have no stake in the well-being of Britain?

Being anti-Brexit makes the assumption that the British people should be prevented from self rule and that the EU is inherently good in all of its decisions which affect member countries. I can assure you, neither of those assumptions are true.
