You do realize that a bunch of our present political instability is because quite a lot of people viscerally hate and fear 4 and 5, and are voting for politicians who promise to block them, yes?

The people who viscerally hate (4) and (5) have little stakes in the economy, and will have less and less, to the point that their vote will be essentially meaningless.

If that were true, then neither Trump nor Brexit would have happened. You could always claim that it is not true now but will be "in the future", but that claim is unfalsifiable.
