re: UK election exit polls are out

UKIP's entire 'we need Brexit' campaign was that too many Romanians and Poles were coming over and taking 'British jobs'. It rarely touched on Islam until right before Brexit

While I can agree that their campaign touched on Islamism little, I still think that your other point is an oversimplification. The motivation was much broader than Romanians and Poles taking British jobs. While that was indeed a flashpoint, the thrust encompassed a whole set of issues with Brussels, the power and control invested in the EU, and how that power and control was utilized regarding Britain and its sovereignty. The points included trade, human rights, subsidies, budget, agriculture, legal, and finance, among others.
