Leave won because of a variety of factors, including economics, racism/xenophobia, misinformation, youth apathy, belief that protest vote wouldn't win, so on and so forth. There isn't a single main reason it won, and it barely won anyway (and probably wouldn't have won if all voters showed)

And also that the highest court should be in the UK, often overlooked but main reason for many (sovereignty).

The ones you mentioned were irrelevant to me and a lot of people I know.

I watched in dismay a few years ago at the prospect of Financial Transaction Tax (FTT), it was delayed as a result of this referendum - it would practically a disaster for the City of London and nothing the UK could do to stop it, despite parliament having control of the law.
