Why are all British expats in places like Benidorm so pro-Brexit?

It was in a travel and tourism magazine I read.

Im only going off the stats.

I once went to Benidorm and that is literally what it is like. The Brits think they own the place and complain if there are too many Spanish.

Here is a classic!

A lot of the visitors to the resort have no respect at all for the locals, how they dress and behave yet they are the first to complain about foreign people back in England and thus voted Brexit also largely based off what they read in the Sun. They probably think after Brexit they will get Benidorm all to themselves and the Spanish will be forced to leave.

In fact you don’t even need to visit Benidorm to see what it’s like. Just watch the TV series and you’ll see what we mean.

Going on holiday doesn't make you an expat...at any rate, actual expats will get bitten in their ass. They will no longer have medical care in Spain, they will need to buy private health insurance. Dumbasses.

The majority of British people who go on holiday to Benidorm are very pro Brexit as are the majority of ex pats in Benidorm. Surely they know their holidays will become much more expensive due to Brexit and if it’s a no deal Brexit which is becoming an increasing certainty, they might not even get to Benidorm for their annual holiday.
A lot of Brits go to Benidorm to work in bars and cafes but after Brexit they will need Spanish work permits which likely to be scarce and only available to Brits who have qualifications and skills that Spain is in need of not for Cafe assistants and kitchen porters!
Life for ex pats will become much harder too.

So it’s like Turkeys voting for Xmas.

The only good thing is seeing the Spanish reclaim Benidorm from Brits why think it belongs to them.

Why do they support Brexit?

because they're not very bright.

Really? lol.

because they're not very bright.

Brilliant, care to explain why you have labelled a vast demographic you don't know a derogatory term.

Just posting bigoted things like this shows the same unsavoury attitude racist, sexist, ageist, etc people also share.

Because, typically Benidorm expats are working class. Typically, working class people voted Brexit. Working class people voted Brexit because they feel ignored by the establishment and this was their cry for attention.

Unfortunately, although a legitimate concern, voting to leave the EU has consequences that outweigh concerns around working class voices being suppressed.

If those who supported Brexit have to pay more for their holidays, or expats supporting it have to return home, then there is a second benefit to Brexit. The first being 22 UKIP MEPs being unemployed.

I think the Spanish will be better off. There are plenty of other Europeans who can take the place of Brits, many Europeans who don’t go to Benidorm at present because of its reputation for drunkenness and hooliganism.
There are also a lot of rich Russians who are increasingly holidaying in Spain. They will bring a lot more money to the resort than Brits do and who are unlikely to get drunk and cause trouble, litter the place or put strain on police services and healthcare.

There are many old british people in Benidorm who voted Brexit and they have not idea about the consequences. But is a big mistake because they can be have many problems to stay in Spain if they don't have the visas.

No. See my post above, most didn't vote at all, because they weren't allowed to.
