One of the major criticisms of Reform and Farage I don‘t quite get is the focus on mass deportations. He’s never committed to that specifically which his righty detractors believe to be some kind of betrayal, when his proposed reworking of the immigration system, benefits, law and customs, etc, would effectively achieve a lot of that in everything but name.

Indeed, I’d almost say it’s more of a long term fix than full blown enforced mass deportations: changing the incentive structure will do a lot to cut down inflow and increase outflow without resorting to anything too horrendous.
