It's interesting that Brexit continues to be debated. Often by people who voted for it. My entire family, except me, voted to leave the EU. It did not occur to her that her daughter in law is an EU native and that her grandchildren had EU passports and that in voting this way she and her sisters were likely to alienate them a bit.
She voted leave because she wanted to prevent immigration. At that time she had never met an illegal immigrant or asylum seeker as some like to call them. She lives a couple of miles away from a large hotel in Warwickshire that is now full of them. The locals say they are mostly young men who have inexplicably lost their children and women folk, but not their mobile phones or drugs. They now hand around all day in the town, often begging and apparently harassing people. I don't really know because I hardly ever go there.
My mother and her sisters and their husbands and children are very upset that this has happened. My uncle is a part tenant / part owned farmer. He voted for Brexit as well, yet was surprised when his supply of cheap foreign labour was cut off, and remains resentful.
Many people voted for emotive reasons. They blamed the tories for Brexit and for immigration and my family voted for labour this time (some were previously liberals). In my last visit I endured them telling me how disappointed they are in Starmer and co. Two of my aunt's grandchildren have been told their jobs will be made redundant when the employers NIC extra tax comes into effect. One of my Aunt's husbands has already been made redundant as his firm is "tightening it's belts" openly citing anti employer policies. Employers in some areas are using it as an opportunity to cull some staff.
I don't debate it: just say well you vote for things that you don't bother to research and surely you are old enough to know that politicians make promises in return for votes. This gives them a 5 year guaranteed good job with no real accountability for that length of time, after which they will make some more promises to try to con you again.
