The tories did not loose control. Increased migration was a plan to hide the costs of Brexit and to offset EU nationals leaving. Planned higher immigration meant GDP growth did not go to zero or below zero.

Sorry, I read the article snapshot and not all of your post. Increased immigration is probably the reason my Tesco shares have doubled in value, but my shares in engineering/ tech companies trading across Europe have struggled.

Dassault Systèmes share price also doubled over 9 years. You could have invested in ASML Holdings NV or Vestas Wind Systems AS.
