The "Invaders" weren't able to vote on this, it was for British Nationals only as I recall.
The unskilled workers thing is an interesting point. I wonder if it is better for them to come here and undercut the value of British labour (within the remit of the minimum wage*) and pay taxes, or if it is better for the job to go abroad to the unskilled labour (which despite the protests of globalisation actually pumps money into developing countries, encourages unionisation there and eventually improves wages and working conditions there).
*that said, there is an element of the minimum wage being illegally bypassed with unpaid overtime, or straight up illegal cash in hand work, even at big employers such as the Sports Direct retail chain.
