Why do they believe it? Obviously, in any one election you can say it's the headlines of the day combined with the personalities of the leaders.
So are working class people repeatedly irrational in voting for right-wing parties? Interestingly, UKIP are combining left-wing economics with right-wing social policies, and have made a lot of ground with the working class. Arguably, this is Trump's constituency in the US as well.
