They need to understand that its actually the 30+ years of neoliberalism from the Tories and New Labour that has caused this, not the EU
I agree, but the EU isn't exactly immune to the same problem. It's obviously shaped by its constituent governments, and it's been mainly right-wing governments that have shaped it in that same time period.
In the more disaffected regions where there's not much wealth and low social mobility there is also the view that 40 years in the EU hasn't made much of a difference, life is still shit, what have we got to lose. That view isn't really going to be changed by impact assessments or the lack of.
