QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Nov 7 2017, 05:53 PM) From the independent;
"Mr Cameron and the political class in general underestimated the groundswell of public resentment caused by the influx of European migrants to the country since accession of Eastern European countries in the early 2000s.
To begin with Polish plumbers, builders, waitresses and bar staff were generally welcomed. But the financial crash of 2008 and the fall in living standards it resulted in stoked resentments which politicians from all three major parties were too slow to recognise and respond to."
So, yes, while it is true that the catalyst for this was ukip and it's growing influence on voters feelings and concerns all they did was to merely ride along on the growing groundswell. And let's not forget a significant amount of 'leave' vote came from Northern working class areas, traditional labour territories so the conservative electorate is not entirely to blame. The major 'stay' vote was in the London region which is high in liberals, fortunately it wasn't enough. Maybe if more millennials and hipsters had got off their ***** to vote it might have turned out differently. Who knows. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-41893598😂😂
