Well they cared enough to vote for Brexit despite it clearly having a potentially negative impact on the economy so maybe your little survey was about as accurate as the other polls.

It's called voting. At the moment it doesn't matter who we vote for in regards to immigration and it's effects. That's why the subject has been ignored by all our major parties, thats why most people ignored them on referendum day.

Of course we could. If the governments immigration policy is not working they could be voted out if an alternative policy seems better. At the moment our government has no control of the numbers so our votes, like any immigration policy, are meaningless. It's not that hard to understand.

Who else were people supposed to vote for in the FPTP system? Miliband or the Lib Dems were both pro immigration so dodgy Dave's 10k promise is the best they could hope for. Vote for anyone other than the main three parties you might as well roll you poll card up and shove it up your arse. People obviously cared about immigration because they prefer the Brexit leap in the dark to what they have at the moment.

I'm not sure non EU immigration was a problem before hundreds of thousands started turning up from Europe as well each year. we are seeing levels of immigration way higher than ever before (except during WW2 I believe). Where they come from is irrelivant, it's the shear numbers. Why do you think dodgy Dave promised to get it down to 10s of thousands if it wasn't an issue for the electorate?

Just because the average EU immigrant pay is higher doesn't mean that companies having an unlimited pool of low skilled labour doesn't depress wages for the low paid. The average doesn't tell the whole story, especially when it's the low paid british workers who's pay is forced down. A few European footballers or high paid bankers can easily skew the average. We employ loads of Polish at my company because they are cheap. It always used to be British people doing the same jobs.

Yeah, Austin and Long are working well together.

If nothing is done about immigration after we have left and there are still the same issues then the government will be held to account. At the moment there is no one we can vote for to do anything.

The main reason I sided with out was because uncontrolled mass immigration means downward pressure on wages, pressure on public services and a housing problem that is impossible to resolve. Hopefully now we are out these problems can at least be started to be looked at, wether they are or not is a different matter. At least if they are not we can elect a government with a different plan, at the moment whoever we elect are powerless to do anything about the above. You get situations like 'Call me Dave' getting elected on the promise to get immigration down to the 10s of thousands when he knew all along he had no control whatsoever.

Why else did Cameron promise a refurendum at the last general election if it wasn't to win over potential UKIP voters?

But Cameron knew about his mums BBQ a year in advance and told Lady Trousers a few days before that if he was invited he would still paint the fence.

This would be the guy who promised a referendum purely to get himself the PM job, then jumped ship when it didn't go his way leaving a cluster-**** of a government behind to pick up the pieces.

I'm happy with a system that means anyone from the EU is free to work here as long as they have an offer of permanent full-time employment, earning decent a living wage. There's a difference between moving somewhere because of a job and just turning up somewhere with your family in the hope of picking some cabbages. Knowing that if there is no jobs you still you get a house, benefit payments plus free access to schools, hospitals etc.

I've heard that there have been mysterious Russians walking about the place.

No, Farage has just exploited a division created by the Westminster elite who refused to listen to the concerns of the public over immigration. The same people are still refusing to listen, coming up with all sorts of bull**** to try and explain the result. To be absolutely honest I'm not bothered if we are in or out. I can see both sides of the argument. The reason I favoured leave was because of the point blank refusal of the people we elected to admit the problems that people face every day because of immigration. People being labelled as racist by ******s from London for speaking out about real issues. Keep calling Brexit voters stupid if you like, it just highlights your own ignorance though.

What a load of ********.

You can't be that clever yourself if you have only just come to the conclusion that a significant number of the British public are stupid. The Sun is the biggest selling newspaper, 9 million watch X Factor every week - and it took you this long for your little brain to work that out.

It's no big drama, just keep the laws and regs as they are and change them as and when we see fit. It will take a long time but that's not a problem.

I can't believe they had a qualifying criteria to get tickets for a mid-week game that's a half hour drive from a war-zone.

I disagree, I don't think the remain camp showed they had a clue how to deal with a future of mass uncontrolled immigration. They just pretended the effects didn't exist and tried to scare people with lies. How can you say Osbourne didn't lie? He knew he would resign if he lost so to say there would be a austerity budget straight after was a clear lie.

There was just as much bull**** spouted by the remain camp. Just one example was that post Brexit vote austerity budget that was just a plain lie. Just accept that the people have made their choice, wether you like reason why they made their choice is irrelivant.

No different to the people who voted remain. everyone had their own reasons for voting whatever, plenty of misconceptions on either side.

Meanwhile the service sector follows manufacturing and continues to grow after the Brexit vote... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37274279

Sorry, the polls got both results wrong.

Since when have Journos been experts on football? If the keeper hadn't have let his shot ough his legs Lallana would have got slated in the press for his many misses.
