Martin Wolf: Perhaps the most fundamental cause is a growing sense that elites are corrupt, complacent and incompetent.

First, of all aspects of globalisation, mass immigration is the most disruptive. Movement across borders needs to be brought under control. 

The presence of 11m undocumented immigrants in the US should never have been permitted. 

In the case of Europe, regaining control of the borders is an overwhelming priority if the union is even to survive.
