I am always amazed at what people will cling to when faced with tough times. Highthief is right to point out that this sort of reactionary voting is often associated with times of political and economic strife.
In fact, I would suggest that it isn't that many steps removed from the "Buy American" reactions we are seeing in the US. Same impetus, different flavour. We are seeing similar discussions here. There are articles in the papers discussing how "foreign workers" are taking jobs from locals.
