The numbers Brexit claimed we'd save have been debunked and they're already recanting their promise to give billions to the NHS instead of the EU. Even before they won we all knew their numbers were bullshit. They were torn a new hole over their ridiculously inflated bus number. All the economic think tanks agreed that this would harm rather than help. So that wasn't it.
Regulations on items that can and can't be traded still apply because we must still agree to the exact same regulated guidelines to access the free market. That also covers part of the anti-migrant argument. Basically in all EU dealings we will still need to abide by the rules of the EU, including trade and commerce, which is mostly the only thing they regulated anyway. They weren't controlling our laws beyond the limitations of things like their bill of human rights which isn't exactly the pinnacle of bureaucracy. So it isn't that.

Did you have anything else in mind?
