You are asserting more workers equals lower wages. Studies don't bear this out...on the surface it seems logical. But it's not proven.
And immigrants on visa are much more likely to be abused leaving the EU and forcing everyone into such systems means even more abuse.
Finding local people first is fine but ATM there's high employment and skill issues. So people come from abroad...
Wages however vs cost of living are poor. This hits UK born and immigrants alike.
I think by solving the issues that means there are skill issues / jobs aren't rain and decoupling this from an indirect blame on immigrants ultimately everyone can benefit w/o the negative mood.
I wish voting would be easier I like the 5 year rule. But it needs sorted on an EU level and when they tried nationalism stopped it.
So taxation without representation and a subtle "your fault" mood is where I'm at. It's not unique to the UK (hi wilders...) but brexit has really exacerbated it.
Ultimately yep it's not easy to solve the UK sees their own as more important. But we may need a new way where we are all seem at least as moral citizens (same for UK people abroad)
And 3 million pissed off EU voters could do some damage to the Tories :)
