If either side had adopted two of Trump's policies they would have won with a landslide.

Bring back jobs to the UK. At the moment the Third World is getting richer by getting Western Jobs. From the time of the closure of the shipyards in the North to today, jobs have flowed out of the UK. How many of those, or their children, who used to build ships on Tyneside now have a job? Labour are also to blame for this, the EU is 100% to blame as their policies are geared towards more free trade deals.

Mass migration has allowed bosses to hold down wages for 20 years. The oversupply of any product always lowers the products price. Labour is a product. Lower wages = lowers taxes, + increase costs of the Welfare State. The problem with this is when anyone mentions it the pro-migration lobby talk about banning nurses or start accusing people of being racists. Why ban the most skilled and needed from coming to the UK?

The craziest thing is no party tried to explain why the UK can't keep subsidising the growing numbers of victims of these two policies. The debate was over who would keep spending the most to prop up those victims.
