There is a consensus that anti-immigration sentiments played a role in the referendum vote. To examine what is behind these attitudes, a team from NIESR and Birkbeck, University of London carried out 12 experimental focus groups with 105 Leave and Remain voters in the town of Sittingbourne in Kent.
