The way that democracy works is that the party decides which candidates and agendas to run based on the wishes of the donor class, and the job of the politicians is to explain why what the donors want is supposedly good for the public.

As Angela Merkal said, Europe accounts for about 10% of the Worlds population, and about 25% of the Worlds GDP, and about 58% of the Worlds Welfare. This is unsustainable and will bring catastrophe in the end. Welfare is the driving force behind mass immigration into Europe from the poorest parts of the World. Welfare systems all across Europe needs to be cut dramatically or Countries will go bust, this is where the real money has gone.

It's fundamentally dishonest that "GDP" is used as a figure for economic success by politicians, it takes advantage of the fact that the public don't understand the difference bewteen GDP and GDP per capita, and that what matters is per capita GDP.

Mass immigration fuels the housing crisis .Housing is the biggest cost out of ordinary people's budgets.. Still GDP increases when the population grows so not to worry.

4:50 the NIMBY vote for more immigration but not housing. LibDems in Amersham and Chesham. Mass immigration has caused and productivity stagnation whilst exacerbating the housing EMERGENCY. It isn't desirable to turn this green and pleasant land into housing estates for new arrivals. That same report says 89% of the housing demand is immigrants. We arent net tax contributors until we earn 41k per annum, so how will a cleaner from Nigeria with 3 kids in social housing pay enough taxes to contribute? Never going to happen They depress wages, the law of supply and demand works for labour as well as housing. Then you guys talk of economics, but you ignore social, cultural, and environmental sustainability. Mass immigration is a no all-around.

@@BioHazardCL4 Legend, you hit the nail on the head and I hope you get your message out far and wide because I agree but am too lazy these days. This little liked post says it PERFECTLY. People "beating around the bush" with immigration trying to say "oh well something something economics maybe?" rather than just saying the plain ol truth that they don't damn well want to import a different culture over top of their own culture is a HUGE stumbling block to getting the right things implemented. It doesn't help that being anti-migration is borderline illegal in the west these days, mind you...

Right wing? what right wing party? there is no right wing party. And we never wanted immigrants. They don't bring anything to they destroy the wages of the blue collar jobs. I myself had to suffer getting paid under the table because that polish would in trades. You destroyed every generation from Tony Blair era.

The mistake U.K. doing is giving out indefinite leave to remain and citizenship- by all means invite people to work while you fix the incompetence of the past 30 years but don’t sell citizenship to competing cultures and religions or our culture and demographic will be wiped out irreversibly in the next 5 years

'There is no reason why housing cannot keep up with demand' 1.4 million visas issued last year - 231,000 houses were built. House building has *never* been high enough to accommodate these kinds of numbers. You people are not serious if you think that statement is at all credible.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not - Albert Einstein. Saying that it is possible to build more houses is the laziest argument going. The truth is that house building struggles to get past 200k, until you are able to build more then immigration will continue to make an already dysfunctional housing market even more dysfunctional

I detest this econ speak. Economics can be a useful tool to help you think about economic problems, but when you start refering to the marginal product of labour instead of the interests of the English people, you have definitely lost the plot.

I appreciate the response, though I humbly submit that I think you missed my point. I love economics, but it is important not to get too caught up in econ talk. You risk abstracting the problems facing modern economies to issues with the marginal product or labour, or a lack of capital investment and forget that abstraction helps us think about the problem, but through abstraction resolution is lost. This means when you turn to policy recommendations a more rounded view must be taken. For example, Countries are not economies, and sometimes what is good for an economy can be deadly for a country. Kind regards
