? If a conservative prime minister oversees a large scale imigration event, he is no longer conservative. You might not realize it, but by demonstrating how much the whole political spectrum shifted to the left, you are arguing GPs point.

I find it quite horrendous how easy the left got manipulated into reviving the right by importing extremists and dhijhadis and waging warfare on the economic basis of western wealth.

Mass migration is a core Conservative policy. Even Reform made up of ex-Conservatives has agreed to mass migration in talks with their donors.

Importing people rather than investing in the locals is a core right wing belief in the UK.

That's weird, because the majority of the propaganda from the 2 right wing parties in the UK right now focuses almost exclusively on promising to stop mass-migration. Its been this way for several years.

What parties say and what they do are very different.

The right wing wants to import cheap labour. That's why they fell out with Europe when European Labour started pushing up the cost of British labour.

non-British long-term immigration in 2010 when the right wing party took over was 498k a year. By 2023, their last full year of power, it was 1291k a year.

Since then its dropped back to 703k, lower than the value when the Lib Dems were booted out of office and the government went full Tory.
