This is standard for the GOP in the US; get poor folks to vote against their own economic interest. Working well. : (
Saddest fact is that the people who voted 'stuff you' because their lives were tough will now get stuffed. By the people who led them on.

@BigotExposed True but to be honest the people in the north have never been 'unstuffed' since the crash so feel nothing to lose. - End of conversation

@HenryCPorter That's how populism works. And they will continue to blame foreigners till it is way past plausible cf Venezuela -
And that is why I wouldn't bet on the outcome of the US presidential election now.

@jk_rowling I fear they will blame someone else for that, not themselves. -

@DrAseemMalhotra That’s not sad. These people are morally autonomous adults who were given the facts. They deserve their wish. -

@Glinner You miss the point. They had little to nothing to lose anyway. -
Nothing to lose? Those on low incomes will find they can lose more in tax. Those on welfare can receive less
-
Which they felt was happening anyway
-
they'll feel it more in two years time when our economy suffers. Still, at least we've taken back control, eh?
-
I would say that many of them will take great satisfaction that many in power feel they have lost control.
-
Satisfaction doesn't feed your kids or staff your local hospital. Will Gove and Johnson worry about that?
-
If they upset the majority then they can vote them out.

Not much point when to quote Ed Harris in The Rock "There is no fuckin money"..
