I have no doubt that because of Brexit we will retain a tighter control of our borders in the future, to ignore the voters would be political suicide for some and would have enormous negative consequences for the democratic voting system in this country.

You clearly seem to think you know better than most people in this country, but somehow I seriously doubt that.
That is beyond naive.

I bet if you were to ask most of the people who voted Trump, a large part of them wouldn't be able to tell you a single actual Trump policy, they'd tell you the soundbite but that's about it.

The public as a whole are uninformed, that's just the truth of the matter. It doesn't matter which side, people will just vote for whatever they like best based on soundbites and headlines.

I'm a realist, if you think the majority of people sit down and read up on the latest issues when it comes to making a political choice then you're mistaken. Most just don't know what they are actually voting for regardless of the side.
