"You can call it a contradiction if you like. I call it voting against my own self-interest because I felt more strongly about other issues than just the ease with which I can move around Europe, including the ease with which I am able to live here legally. As I've said in an earlier post, I don't want to reduce immigration per se, I just would like to see it controlled and measured, which (theoretically) can allow for better planning of schools, hospitals, roads and other public infrastructure." All of which is currently available (if not applied by the UK Govt) under our EU membership.
