The sad thing is, I don't think the Tories will ever lose that vote. These people won't wise up to the fact that the Tories treat them terribly as long as they keep going along with the Brexit fantasy and empty words about immigrants. It's too convenient for those people to blame scapegoats and whoever the Tories tell them to blame then to accept they've been voting against themselves.
