Post-Brexit immigration: mission accomplished?

Protectionism vs open markets, nothing needs to be black and white.

You are just re-iterating the tiresome mantra of the EU beneficiaries 'in the end it will all work out for you too'. Except, maybe not in your lifetime.

It is a fundamental neo liberal viewpoint, and I admit in my opinion Labor (parties) have abandonded their constituency since the mid-80s.

And I think that needs to change, and if it takes a bit of protectionism, so what.

If you think that in our lifetimes we won't see an increase of quality of live in eastern Europe then I have some bad news for your about your expectations to see benefits from protectionism.

Brexit did not make people in the UK happier, quite the opposite. I don't see a future where this will change.

Do you have sources for this?
