Because none of the candidates intends stopping immigration. Why would they?
So come on, pick Boris's successor.
- Thread starter Mottie
- Start date
Also the Tories have been promising to reduce immigration for 12 years now and have achieved nothing meaningful
My next question would have been how many form a mass. Those in the 50's a mass? Why given 1st and 2nd British born generations are these particular people a rather small proportion of the UK's population?
Take out EU movement how many immigtants have settled here in those 12 years? Compare with 1,500 Afghans biught here recently. I understand the UK accepted a fair number of Syrians as well - how many?
Better still how many in the last 50 years.
The number is made up arbitrarily at the time to allow people to exclude the scary foreigners that they don't like but allow the ones they do like.
But the reason I mentioned Windrush is because we've had significant migration into the country for at least 70 years. The idea of Mass migration being new is just silly.

Because they are supposed to be conservatives, and that's what conservative voters want.
What's your favourite disease?
Silly question.
Nonsense. No politician is stupid enough to inflict more damage on the UK. We already are enduring that utter pile of crap Brexit
@ellal has pledged to house a couple as long as they are Ukranian. Only pledged mind, not actually done anything about it.
I was questioning the meaning of the word mass. The NOS has figures on resultant numbers including those born here.. I posted info at some point and aren't going to bother again. Actual arrival numbers should be around some where or the other. They can not be that high so why use the word mass.
Anyway back on subject. I have a feeling it will boil down to Sunak & Truss with a bit of a query on Truss. I'm assuming their usual shenanigans on voting which may mean one with little hope replaces Truss. Penny seems to be the one being knocked hardest by none candidates probably down to tory party polls. I like her idea of slashing fuel vat as it will reflect on prices across the board. Think she should toss in power as well. If they can find some way of doing it. Tax cuts - only of benefit to people who pay a lot really. I was really looking forwards to Sunak's 1p of the basic rate. Gee all that spare cash it would give me.TBH I am not sure I fancy any of them. Too many statements with no backing what so ever just how wonderful they will be.

They've realised it's better for the party not to let the public see what prospective leaders are like.
Meanwhile the surviving Johnson supporters winch up their vicious campaign against Sunak.

I have heard there are 60 ERG members about in power. I wonder how much they can manipulate votes, They are bound to have followers as well.
