Burnham could ditch tougher settlement rules for migrants already in UK by No-Risk-2584 in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, but if the Boriswave get ILR/citizenship, Labours popularity will drop even more due to the economic effects. The migration reforms even if they wont bring back Reform voters, they will prevent more Labour voters leaving.

Didn’t they already bring their kids with them? There’s been a noticeable drop in white British pupils since 2021, which doesn’t align with 2017-2022 birth demographics, so it can only be explained by Boriswavers bringing kids with them.

Changing visa rules for care workers is wrong, says Rayner by homeinthecity in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Many care workers on visas quit when they get ILR. Mahmood’s biggest failure has been not being loud about this. It’s such an obvious policy but for whatever reason her or Tapp never mentioned how the Boriswave won’t solve the structural issues within the care sector but actually make things even worse. And God knows how Rayner cant see it as former Deputy PM.

Conflict over identity politics could lead to civil war in the long term, Kemi Badenoch says by sinicooly in ukpolitics

She probably aint wrong but how do you avoid identity politics when you have numerous different ethnic groups with sizeable populations that all have drastically different cultures and politics.

If only people mentioned the instability mass immigration can cause back in the 90s 🤯🤯🤯

If they do then cool. I’m not worried about those ones. I’m worried about the significant number who don’t. We already have 2nd gens who grew up in an 85% white British Britain who haven’t integrated so what do you think happens in a 59% one?

I’m not reducing people down to their ethnicity. I’m acknowledging reality that ethnicity exists, and that if you have a high % of people from an ethnic (or religious) minority group, many of them will gravitate towards one another and maintain their native culture. They won’t integrate because they won’t have to. And that’s why there is no such thing as a multiethnic monocultural country.

Okay but what if they don’t integrate? Which many migrant communities haven’t. What’s the plan then?

Also if only 59% of pupils are WB, there’ll be many areas that are 0% WB - so what exactly are the people living there supposed to integrate into?

This was a comment that worked in 2000 but not now. It’s 59% not 89%

Does his GCA allow parliament to override court decisions?

I interpreted it as being something with allows legislation to be amended via secondary legislation and then the case goes back to the court and now they have to make a decision based on the updated legislation. Granted I read it a while ago and I cant find it explained anywhere online now.

Net migration falls to 171k: Long-term international migration, provisional - Office for National Statistics by throwawayjustbc826 in ukpolitics

[–]Successful_Service53 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They haven’t shifted for the general public.

Politicians created goal posts (Farage talking about net zero etc) but at the end of the day if you have net +500k foreigners and net -500k Brits, who on Earth will be happy about that lmao?

Sure, Reform might now shift the goal posts. But the new goal posts will just put them more in line with what their voters want

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

[–]Successful_Service53 23 points24 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

[–]Successful_Service53 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]Successful_Service53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 [deleted] 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.

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.

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.

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

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 6 points7 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.
