    Default 'Majority want tougher immigration policy'

    Majority want tougher immigration policy
    The majority of people living in Britain, from all political and ethnic backgrounds, think too many people are settling in the country and favour tougher immigration policies, a poll showed on Monday.
    Honestly, is anyone suprised? I knew the British public could be stupid (i.a. three New Labour victories) but its been no secret that the majority of people living in Britain are not pleased with the current immigration policy. This is simply more evidence that New Labour has lost touch with the British public (as if gaining less votes than the Conservatives in England in the last general election and the lowest % of the vote to ever form a majority government wasn't 'losing touch' enough!). No doubt some will choose to ignore the evidence provided and point out the small survey sample; ignoring that its been weighted to represent the population, was conducted by YouGov and at the request of a cross-party committee - and that there is no evidence that contradicts this snapshot of the nation's opinion. Infact, this survey presents roughly the same findings as an earlier survey in 2006 -again undertaken by YouGov- that found that 76% supported an annual limit on immigration.

    The article goes on:
    According to the YouGov poll, 57 percent of adults think there should be less immigration than emigration and 28 percent favour keeping the number of people moving to Britain the same as the number leaving, so-called balanced migration.
    ...or to put it simply: 85% do not agree with New Labour's current net-inward migration policy. And it appears New Labour has even lost touch with its own support base, with a combined 81% of Labour supporters not being happy with the current immigration policy:
    Among supporters of the ruling Labour Party, 36 percent said balanced migration was about right and 45 percent said that would still mean immigration was too high.
    I have argued for a balanced immigration policy (Zero Net Effect) previously. This has nothing to do with race. ("Among black and minority ethnic respondents to the YouGov survey, 36 percent favoured balanced migration and 39 percent wanted tighter immigration policies.") Nothing to do with the percieved benefits and drawbacks of immigration (try telling Japan they need an open immigration policy...). An upper cap on the numbers allowed entry into the United Kingdom is quite simply a logical conclusion - the only conclusion than can be made from a nation living on a small island more densley populated than China; and living far beyond its ecological capacity. I'm glad the majority of Britons agree.

    THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD, who are supposed to be represented by their elected politicians, have thought, spoken and felt like this for DECADES ON END!

    This is the 'Great Betrayal' of Democracy. There are no democracies who represent the people when it comes to this issue, which when you think about it is the most important issue there is for democratic voters. We vote for what we think is best for ourselves and our kids (and their kids) and our society, and OUR LANDS.

    And look what they do. Give away land and freedoms earned via blood and hell to mere spongers and Johnny-Come-Lately 'blow-ins'.

    They're traitors.

    actually most peoples agree with him. The poll of the Op was proof enough .

    about the issue, in my country too (and i can bet in most western countries both in Eu and USA) a majority favors toughter rules on immigration.
    Politician will have to comply. I'm curious to see if the conservaties will take the power in the Uk what they would do on the issue.

    boof haven't you heard of the hugely fascist new government here in Italy? it has taken several measures against illegal immigration, so of course it's an evil fascist regime

    Or so some media say. Becouse you know how some people think, not only legal immigration should be kept at present level or expanded, but also illegals are to be tolerated and welcomed, poor souls otherwise you're a evil racist

    jokes aside, in general there is a big debate now about immigration, and some countries are indeed taking steps in the right direction, hell even the Eu approved a new, strict directive against illegal immigration. That's normal becouse apart from leftist ideologically blinded person every person i hear is for reducing immigration, and in pretty much every european country there is a debate about it, while until some years ago it was a non issue.

    Don't know about Australia however, all the political parties are pro-immigration here?

My city, Oshawa, is like 95% white- mostly because the White people left Toronto a few years ago, to escape Multiculturalism, but I digress- and my teacher, who is white, actually said in front of the entire class, that she can not wait for more racial minorities to come to Oshawa, because Oshawa is boring, its culture is drab, and were all a bunch of stereotypes with terrible food and mannerisms. Not exaggerating, actually said that.

    Oh well, France is tightening their immigration policy, Canada is tightening their immigration policy, Italy is tightening their immigration policy, Spain, Netherlands and Britain aren't too far behind.

    Bye bye Multiculturalism.

    To he thinks there is a Canadian mono-culture. Good luck. While you're at it, find us that abominable snowman who hangs around those ice sheets of yours.

    lol, I always laugh at France. If you don't want Immigrants, you should never have taught them your language and screwed up their countries. .


    Britain is tightening its immigration because the EU allows for unlimited and unchecked immigration and our Island is very small and hugely over populated....London has a higher population than Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland combined. We need it logistically we cannot cope with it, it's breaking our backs. We're not doing it to preserve some non-Existent British monoculture...it's logistical. The irony is actually that British people have realised with the influx of Europeans that they actually have a lot more in common with their fellow commonwealth Indian and Pakistani brothers than with a Pole or Bulgar. So it's good for us in a way.

    Boofhead, just so we're against clear you're against the Australia's mandatory detention of Asylum seekers ( They called it the Pacific Solution)? Not only was the act criminal because of their Negligent treatment of Asylum seekers, it was also criminal because of the amount of money and resources they wasted on trying to maintain it.

    People have no clue about what they want. A healthy economy and their pensions paid for, or a UK only for the British? Both please! With the native population declining though there is no way western European economies can keep running smoothly without immigration. Complaining as they will about drunken Polish and extremist Pakistanis, they don't think that maybe it's these young healthy imigrants seeking their fortunes that actually pay taxes without burdening the NHS.
    A government will rather resign than shutting the borders, as they realize it will be twice as hard to keep the sputtering economy running ....

    THE ECONOMY.

    Our ancestors survived without 'free-trade'.

    I'd rather live in a mud-floored hut on my own land than have a plasma TV and no sovereign land.

    Our population is still rising because of immigration. We can't fit all these people onto our island. Practicalities

    all people want is a controled number.

    there are only so many litter sweeping jobs around for these people to take. how on earth can we provide jobs for them all and keep our own population employed? too much immigration is actually bad for an ecomony. where as too little can be harmful, its about balance, you inforce balance threw quota's

    Not really. My country of 20 million people already has a controlled number. 130,000 a year increasing every year. And this has been going on for many years - when does the fabric of society ever get to catch up and be an actual society? It doesn't. We've been disenfranchised.
