I think a LOT of voters wanted to slow down migration. Leaders lied to them, and claimed the only way to do that was to leave the EU, so they did. Now they're realising the reason migration is high is because both major parties are neoliberals who want high migration to pump house prices and keep wages low. It won't change until they elect a party which cares about the working class, and campaigns on reducing migration to no more than the number of homes built in the previous year. This is such common sense policy that the only reason it's not already in effect is because leaders in all major parties don't care about the middle class.
