Quo Vadis Labour?

A few [hundred] thousand.

In the fullness of time, but not all of a sudden, if this factual question is your concern.

Edit: Actually, Id bet I'm partially wrong, since immigration won't be evenly distributed over time. We would expect to see core waves of migration (visas being availed plus asylum claims) accompanying specific destabilizing events in the medium-term, such as war/war-worries or the de facto termination of the Hong Kong political system. In that respect Hong Kong immigration may, for all I know, constitute the largest sudden influx to the UK and Australia (contrasted with the US) since WW2.

Why can we revel in the iniquity of British (yes: British), voters views on immigration without any reference to the comparably worse views of our peer (and: neighbouring), nations?

Don't conflate British voters with Brexit voters. And if you want to say something about Denmark or Hungary, say it separately. Inglistan zindabad and all that, but comparative politics should never be used in self-excusing capacity.

p.s. you graph does show immigration as the lowest named issue.

Among the general population, but as above, we are speaking of the Brexit cohort - who are quite heavily concentrated among Conservative supporters by now - not all the people/squirrels who exist.

I think this is saying more about you than it is about the Tories (and the people who vote for them). :)

Were you posting the Atlantic article to disagree with it?


To get some feedback on a less butthurting subject: Would the Liberal Democrats have any reason, based on internal politics, not to form another coalition with Cons in 2024 if asked?
