It seems directly related to control over immigration.

  How?

    The comment I replied to spoke explicitly about London's "large immigrant underclass," and your response said one of the main talkin points has been "control over immigration." I don't know how more related they could be.

      Paradoxically, the parts of the UK with the highest exposure to immigrants were in favour of Remain. The parts with the least exposure to immigrants were in favour of Leave. And in UK, when you talk about "immigrants", you really need to distinguish which historic wave of immigration, in which socioeconomic class, from which region. Especially EU versus non-EU.

        It seems to make sense that immigrants (or people of any type), once present, would be able to influence those around them in favor of themselves. It also makes sense that cities would be more educated and therefore more liberal, and therefore more in favor of immigration, regardless of its affects on those in the rest of the country. ("Educated" in this context means having been run through the educational system, not more intelligent.) I'm not saying one way or the other which side is right but they're certainly related.
