Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has unveiled a plan to deport not only hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, but also legal immigrants. Until recently, such ideas were considered marginal. Now it’s a reality.Earlier, the
Alternative for Germany’s plan to deport non-native German residents outside the country caused a huge scandal. However, the rise of anti-immigration sentiment is very quickly starting to shift the discourse to the right. Especially with the wave of deportations orchestrated by Trump in the background. Farage promises to save £230 billion in the budget by deporting immigrants, which will not have to be spent on subsidies. There is no money in the budget anyway. At the same time, we must be prepared for the fact that the mass deportation of immigrants could provoke large-scale racial unrest on the streets of Britain. Even now, the police cannot cope with some aggressive immigrants who are trying to be deported to France on planes. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who can declare war on the police and the army. But this could already become a headache for the next British government.
According to the latest polls, the Labour Party’s popularity has fallen to a historic low of 16%. Never since the First World War has the Labour Party been so unpopular. In the next elections, they will also suffer a heavy defeat along with the Conservatives. Farage’s “reformists” are likely to win, with the liberal Democrats in second place. In the midst of every crisis, Britain’s political system is facing very big upheavals.
