Europe's leaders ignored voters on mass migration
Anger is building in Western Europe and the UK over immigration, framed as a betrayal of voters by their own governments.
- People across Europe have voted again and again for less mass migration.
- Governments kept letting migration rise anyway, year after year.
- The gap between what voters want and what leaders deliver is now spilling into street protests.
- Officials blaming the unrest on racism only deepens the anger.
Outlook: With the divide between voters and leaders still wide, more unrest and a harder political backlash look likely.
