You have to bare in mind a huge difference between the north and south of the EU. After many years in the EU successive goverments have not invested EU funds to help to create conditions to attract new companies to these countries, which means with huge unemployment levels in those countries, their citizens will continue to travel north to look for work. This puts more pressure on our infrastructure, which will keep driving down the living standards of the low-paid and poorest in the UK.
The problem is, that the EU now has the Eastern European countries to throw money at and southern EU countries have had their chance and not used the money to create more work. You can't fully blame the EU for that, but you have to say at the very least they should have only given continued money to these countries if they produced results, which they haven't., as many working class are no poorer than when they joined the EU.
So the future the UK looked forward too, was more people having to come to the UK looking for a better life and more strain on our infrastructure, as UK goverments have only wanted short term profit from immigration without the necessary investment, meaning a bleaker future for the low-paid and poorest in the UK.
That is one of the main reasons I voted to leave. I do not blame immigrants. I do blame UK governments who took advantage of free movement to impoverished the low paid and poorest in society.
