As a lot of recent posters have said, it's the young voters of our country who are going to have to contend with the result of this referendum in the years to come and the remain camp seem to be pinning their hopes on the young vote swinging things their way. Their rationale seems to be that it is the young who want to see open borders remain and again it is young people who are far more accepting of immigration than the older generation.
Well I'm sorry but to me their logic is skewed. It is only children from middle class families who will reap the benefits from open borders, it is they who will benefit from unrestricted foreign travel whether to study as part of their higher education courses or to take gap years funded by the bank of Mum and Dad. Similarly, middle class youngsters are on the whole likely to be more tolerant of immigration because their future prospects careerwise are far less likely to be affected by the huge influx of largely unskilled labour who will be making their way here if we remain.
Working class young people on the other hand have far more pressing matters to be concerned about eg finding a place to live and raise a family and then managing to keep a roof over their heads, managing their weekly budgets while on temporary or zero hour contracts, being able to get a Doctor's appointment or Hospital referral in a reasonable amount of time, getting their own children into schools of their choice. These are all problems that the majority of middle class families rarely have to contend with. Social housing shortages, an overwhelmed education system, a health system bursting at the seams, these are all problems that the middle classes are mostly able to buy their way out of. Left wing luvvies like Eddie Izzard should be looking more closely at the problems faced by our own poorest people before opening his arms to all and sundry.
If the EU is such a wonderful institution, why has its economy been more or less stagnant for the past decade and why do so many of its inhabitants want to make their way here?
