• (3) That said the misguided do acknowledge in their vote something that remain votes don't acknowledge. It is reasonable to complain about immigrants depressing wages, occupying much-needing housing, using massively stretched public services and choosing not to integrate. Housing building inevitably impact green belt as well as brown-field. Roads and rail are creaking. If you can't control your borders you can't control any of these things.

    Only if you don't have a minimum wage that people can live on and is a minimum wage that is enforced. Wage deflation has an impact when workers rights are precarious. Successive governments since Thatcher have allowed this to happen. Immigrants are a convenient scapegoat for politicians.

    Housing only becomes an issue when successive governments fail to maintain investment, sell off stock and fail to replace those lost. Again, successive governments since Thatcher have allowed this to happen. Ignoring council housing, even 'affordable' housing provision has been woefully lacking, again successive governments have allowed this to happen.

    (12) But many young people don't mind flexibility in the workplace; see themselves as entrepreneurs...

    Well there are +800k people on zero hours contracts. I'm guessing they don't all see themselves as the next Richard Branson and that most would prefer stable employment so they can work enough hours to pay their rent / tuition fees / bills etc.
