Lol the average Brit did not vote to leave because Germany and France are at the forefront of things. It’s to do with immigration and not that of fellow native Europeans.
You do know I live in the UK, and grew up and lived in mostly white areas of southern England? So trust me, when I say, that some voted out of the EU, as they saw it as German tool of dominating Europe. They were calling the EU, "The Fourth Reich"
The fear and hate for the German, is still strong in the minds of the English.
