Why does Labour think bashing migrants is the way to defeat Reform? Look abroad: the tactic never works | Owen Jones

A The government of the Labor Party, which is not a coherent strategy, with underlying voting figures, suddenly has a plan. Finally, the voters’ cry is disappointed: After all, two -thirds of the UK voters believe Feel the work “More than the same” compared to the former conservative party government, including Almost half Workers voters. The plan may include radical proposals to deal with the unprecedented cost of Britain for the living crisis You will drop the real available income Under the rule of work? Perhaps there is a recognition that the dilapidated British world can never be repaired without a meaningful tax rising on the prosperous profit?

Unfortunately, no: the plan is “the migrant kick more, just more difficult.” The Labor Party decided to raise the policies and approach of Nigel Faraj and Donald Trump. It will plow up to 392 million pounds The deportation of immigrants is not documentedSufficient money Training more than 10,000 new nurses. The Ministry of Interior offers migrants, by publishing clips of immigrants who are deported, and being deported Exposed directives All refugees who prevent a “dangerous way” from obtaining British citizenship ever, in violation of the United Nations Refugee Agreement. The speech is tightened.

All this is a panic response to the UK reform that rises in the polls. He stopped the moral bankruptcy of the essential prejudice of the voters for political utilitarianism. The Labor Party adopts a strategy that has repeatedly proven that it leads to catastrophic inverse results. Remember what appears to be a distant world, the alliance era? David Cameron Immigration that is uncompromisingHe said, “For a very long time, immigration was very high,” I blamed for immigrants’ failure to integrate to cause “discomfort and separation” in societies.

then exhaustion The leader, Ed Miliband, made frequently tormented speeches about immigration treatment, rather than providing a convincing and coherent vision of how the Labor Party reforms the country’s problems. Both of them succeeded in raising the level of immigration migration, which strengthened UKIP, which in turn persuaded Cameron to the necessity of referendum on the membership of the European Union. This entire referendum revolves almost completely about migration, and years of poison about foreign expatriates from politicians who laid the foundations for the victory of the leave. The destruction of Cameron and Melipand’s political professions had a great relationship with their stances in the recovery of immigration.

Also note, how the “stopping boat” campaign for Sonak failed, but helped framing the national political conversation on Farraj’s terms. Instead of exploding UK reform A bubble, helped in this party to make more than 4 million votes in the general elections.

Look across the continent. In France, President “Al -Wasat” Emmanuel Macron believed that he could bring the right of Marine Le Pen in the heel by raiding its policies and rhetoric. Refugee tents were demolished, to The condemnation of human rights organizations. for him The Minister of Interior suggested Le Pen was actually “very soft to migration.” But when Macron Prime Minister suggested that the French felt that they were “flooded” with immigration, it was Correctly described With the movement of Le Pen as evidence “won the ideological battle.” Le Pen and its isolation is closer than ever to form the first right -wing government in France since Marshal Beetin.

The Traditional Conservative Party in Austria has become Strict Immigrant Control PartyEntering aggressive preventive detention measures for asylum seekers – in addition to its partners in the Green Alliance – and then pledges to tighten the laws of asylum and a beaters on immigrants that are not documented. The axis of its election campaign last year. The result? The extreme right-wing Freedom Party has ever occupied-with 30 % of votes, and is now scheduled to head the government. In Germany, the transformation between both the government and the opposition is generated to embrace the hatred of foreigners in the conservatives in the center who joined the efforts of a right -wing extremist alternative to Für Deutschland Movement Call for anti -immigrant policies. AFD is now second in the polls. The same story can be found, for example, the Netherlands, where the far right leads a ruling alliance.

In fact, which major party has already succeeded in seeing the right -wing competitors with this approach? The reasons for their failure are clear. Follow -up to this strategy leads the political discourse on the exact conditions required through the difficult right. Discourse and policies are legitimized, but right -wing rebels can always exceed the dominant and appears to be more authentic. Because this approach is an alternative to dealing with many grievances that lead to an anti-immigrant scapegoat-such as stagnant living standards or failed public services-voters are left without an inspiring alternative. If voters go to the polling stations that are considering immigration, for example, instead of policies that may actually improve, then advocates of anti -immigrant right.

Data analysis has found that anti -immigrant feelings are linked strongly not with the increase in the numbers of expatriate Negative about migration. This coverage, of course, is nourishing its role through politicians’ statements and actions. Labor Party advisers have already explained their tendency to self -defeat strategies. Watch how – after winning the Labor Party elections – Kerr Starmer and his advisor, Rachel Reeves, resorted to Speeches that promote death and depression About the economy. They believed that this would buy public reporting of discounts, such as paying fuel in the winter, which is an example of the catastrophic political apostasy.

Instead, this helped to absorb business and consumer confidence from the economy, which helps to sink the government in a crisis. Simply put, given the absence of any clear vision of the country, the work is floundering, and its consultants do not provide any evidence that they know what they are doing. Immigrants who exercise may seem intelligently, but it provides just the justification of Farage. The voters can smell of panic, and the unpleasant smell will grow only.
