Many of the Leave campaigners do actually subscribe to these libertarian views, including the only UKIP MP.

But they clearly believed so strongly, that they didn't think it was wrong to stoke immigration fears to win, and then turn round and explain that actually, free market economics suggests that low wage immigration is actually a good thing. This is playing with fire, and may end tragically.

I'm actually expecting a future government to turn round and refuse to replace the funding that used to come via the EU - as the economy will be in a bad state and we don't have the money anymore and, the main reason, which is pure ideology.

Which is already causing some angst.

Cornwall mostly voted Leave (higher the UK average) but have since asked for the EU funding for Cornwall to be protected.

Certainly in the areas that don't consistently vote for the government making the decisions anyway.
