I'm trying to work out where the three reasons are?

I've made it to this point:

But of all the elites in modern times, our current political class is an elite with one important difference: it's a nobility that for the first time in history, has no sense at all of noblesse oblige. The word nobility derives from the obligations of being the elite: being virtuous and noble in character...

1) Someone hasn't read their Nietzsche. 2) That's a horrifying misunderstanding of history.

I'm just looking for pro leave pieces that are not all about immigration.

Yeah, and that's both good and fair enough - and I'm reading them. Alan Johnson's is a very good overview of issues with the EU. The first two issues are nuanced, but are real problems. The third is less clear-cut. But here's a response (from someone on the same political spectrum, and who accepts all the issues raised) that I came across on Twitter this morning:
