I didn't say anything about working class people. I said the populace in general, which actually largely refers to the hum-drum middle classes with comfortable enough lives that they don't care to think too deeply. I didn't say that people want someone else to give them an opinion, simply that people will generally take opinion and accept it as truth if they haven't had any alternative view presented. If anything, the working class is more politically aware than any other class in this country. The people who turn purple and start getting very unhappy indeed are staunch conservatives, usually middle aged, who severely dislike their world-view being challenged. Finally, in terms of "they took my job" - who are these they, precisely, and why are they to blame? They didn't take anyone's job - unscrupulous employers did that, and blaming migration or the ECHR is, frankly, asinine - and as per my post, I don't even blame the people who end up thinking this - rather those who orchestrate groupthink in order to make them think this.
