I think the idea that brexit is the main reason that people would vote in a GE is a bit blinkered to be honest, for a lot of people (I'd hope, labour voters) they have bigger fish to fry than worrying about it. Universal credit, pensions, housing, employment, education, etc.

This is interesting: Brexit is a far, far bigger issue than anyone one of those - it impacts on all of them (and, of course, far more) and it's going to be permanent - or at least for the next 20 years or so, which in Politics is pretty much the same.

It transcends party - after all, May has proven that an administration may only last a few short years, whereas becoming a third country is rather more permanent.

There is no bigger fish.

Yes, I see that could be the case, but there are large parts of the country that has more pressing issues, where even managing till 2019 is a struggle, let alone the future of a UK outside the EU.
