How many lefties will vote for Brexit?

How many people whose politics generally lean towards the left will vote to leave the EU?

Does it seem to anyone else that EU membership is being increasingly conflated with the left-right dimension (which doesn't capture the debate well at all)? Even if we do define it this way, there are SO many reasons to leave which are consistent with left wing values.

I am a leftie and voting out. I appreciate the environmental discussion on this thread. I am exasperated at all the migration and economic talk around the EU issue. I fear a Palpadine type situation, someone ultra unhelpful being voted into power by our MEP.

If we do vote to leave... Dave is not the person to negotiate on our behalf...
I could trust my local MP to do that, but not Dave...

PS, my local MP is Minister for Employment and a leading Leave campaigner.

I am probably more left than right although I find that division unhelpful. I am likely to vote out

Reasons surrounding the EU v UK legal systems, democracy/sovereignty, tendency towards power-blocking, (eg the Russian/Ukrainian situation), immigration, decisions taken which are against our interests and over which we have no control, fear that the EU is in trouble anyway, (Greece? )
