UK fishermen voted for Brexit because it would directly lead to larger fishing quotas for themselves, the UK being an island surrounded by fish that was forced to give up most of its fishing rights over its own seas to (amongst others) the French and Spanish, who have plenty of coastline of their own and a reputation for aggression.
Given that fishermen weren't exactly ever migrating in droves to Berlin to become language teachers, that decision seems to be pretty much the epitome of rationality. The fact that you picked it as your best example of why people should live in a dictatorship in which they aren't even aware the rules are being made, let alone able to object, speaks volumes about the nature of EU ideology and why the UK was right to leave.
