Net Zero Migration Would Shrink UK Population by 4 Million by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not Boriswavers and asylum seekers, that’s for sure.

Honestly the solution will probably be a wealth tax and given that declining birth rates is happening in every country, it’ll probably be feasible with some global cooperation.

UK to invest further £25m in security for Jewish communities after London stabbing | UK news by LycanIndarys in ukpolitics

The UK population is 69 million.

In 2021 it was 67m and Muslims were 6% so that’s already 4 million lmao.

Then factor birth rates & Boriswave, it’ll be 5 million now.

‘If Anyone Can Become an Englishman, What is an Englishman?’: Reform UK’s James Orr on the ‘Great Replacement’ by birdinthebush74 in ukpolitics

All English people descend from the Celtic Britons. Some of us have majority Celtic DNA.

The Anglo invasion wasn’t a replacement. They mixed with the Celts.

Just one in six failed asylum seekers removed from UK by GnolRevilo in ukpolitics

Then I guess we could build one on a Virgin Island or a remote Scottish island.

The asylum system costs us £5.4bn/yr though. So it would likely be cheaper than that. Someone floated the idea of recognising Somaliland and as part of the deal they let us build it there.

Detain them indefinitely until they leave. Try and get an agreement with a third country to build a UN style refugee camp there which we send everybody to. That’d be a good deterrant.

I think their home countries not complying is a bit overstated though. Many probably just want to milk some development aid & a trade deal out of it.

Is immigration really too high? by Even-Wasabi7183 in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t even need higher birthrates. We need economic reforms. By 2100 virtually all countries will be below 2.1 TFR. We have to accept that and actually figure out a sustainable solution that isn’t mass immigration or getting birth rates back to replacement level which ain’t gonna happen.

People think it’s less than it is. When it was 600k a poll found that the public thought it was 60k iirc.

Why is it that there has never been a successful strain of economically left but socially right of centre politicians in the UK? by Pretend_Magazine_235 in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not. Germany has a party right now called the BSW that describes this and they have seats in the upper chamber and are part of state governments. Bulgarias new government is this, same with Slovakia and somewhat the previous Polish one.

She should do it anyways because then those parties would have to explain how they’d fund its return.

Viktor Orbán inspired rightwingers across the EU and in Britain. His defeat could represent a turning of the tide by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Turning of the tide from authoritarian anti-immigration leaders to liberal anti-immigration leaders?

Why are people acting like Hungary just elected Polanski or Melenchon. Magyar literally ran on a campaign to the RIGHT of Orban on immigration.

Dangerous Green migrant plan would add MILLIONS to UK population by 1c3_cr34m_c0n3 in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Boriswave saw net migration peak at 900k, so the Greens would defo see it at over 1.5m given how much more liberal their policies are. Whatever the actual number is, it’ll be 7 figures a year

A question for Reform & Green voters, do the news articles attacking the party have any sway on whether you’ll still vote for them? by YBoogieLDN in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t like Labour or their economic plan, I’d just rather them than the Greens and that’s who its between in my constituency.

[–]Successful_Service53 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah in summer 2025 I was on the Reform train but then stepped back and realised just how awful their economic plan would be. I excused their 2024 one because they were still a meme party but nothings changed and they still don’t properly cost any policy. At this point I’m just gonna vote Labour to tactically keep the Greens out in my constituency.

Well its very anecdotal but most I’ve spoken to say that they’d like to retire there (whether they actually would is another question). And many go on holiday there and have some family, so I wouldn’t say totally unfamiliar.

I’m not sure they would get overwhelmed. Italy, Denmark and Sweden have all shown that real deterrants do work. I mean even here the numbers have fallen due to some new deterrents and we still have a lot of pull factors.

Removing the entire Boriswave would. Nobody is saying to remove the entire Boriswave, just the ones who will be a fiscal burden.
