I absolutely can’t understand this- Wales is going to suffer the most from Brexit, why are the Welsh whom you know so keen?
Dammit-
Simple answers are (as they see it): stem immigration, take back control of the country from the EU.
Some of it is based on outright racism (for the first answer), some based on Project Fear propaganda.
All of the people I ride with normally are remainers and vote Labour/Liberal Democrats/Greens. A couple of Conservatives. But then they are generally university educated or at least went to some other form of higher education (I'm the exception, not university educated). They work for the universities locally, or the NHS, or in research institutions or are engineers in different forms of industry.
But riding brings me into contact with other people, there it plain to see that so many of the non-university educated blue collar class see things in the "Get Brexit Done!" manner. It's not a hard and fast rule, there's a lot of exceptions, but it does seem to be a rule.
The commercial fishermen on the docks are all Brexit Party, of course.
In one shared house I lived in the other five people voted for Brexit. They thought I was a complete idiot to vote remain. They didn't like it.By and large they perceive the EU and immigrants as the source of all their and the country's problems.
EDIT: it's the urban metropolitan university educated vs. the regional working class/working poor/old people. And there's more of the latter.

Most working class Welsh people I know (am in Swansea) generally don't like the English and are heavily in favour of Brexit. IIRC all Welsh constituencies, apart from Cardiff, voted for Brexit.
