From: John Riseley, Harcourt Drive, Harrogate.
The Tory rump is being exhorted to occupy the middle ground. But how does the contentious issue of immigration policy map onto the supposed Left - Centre – Right political spectrum? If we list countries in order based upon migration data, we can expect to find those with near zero net migration in the middle, while those having large scale net immigration or emigration are at either end. In these terms, the Conservatives’ record in office shows them to have been an extreme pro-immigration party.
These perhaps fear that trying to limit further immigration may offend migrants who are already here or the unassimilated descendants of migrants. They dare not try the formula ‘Immigration has been good, but you can have enough of a good thing’. We seek to flatter or console with the mantra that diversity is good for us. Yet the countries that our migrants come from show no interest in increasing their own diversity.
