PLURALITY OF BRITONS BACK ZERO MIGRATION, LARGE-SCALE DEPORTATIONS

A YouGov survey indicates that 45% of British voters support a complete halt to new migration and large-scale deportations for recent arrivals. This sentiment is strong among Reform UK supporters but also extends to Labour and Liberal Democrat voters. Immigration is considered the most important issue by 56% of Britons, the highest since June 2016. Despite Brexit's promise to reduce immigration, subsequent governments have opened new avenues for non-EU migrants, leading to record migration levels. The ongoing influx of illegal migrants via the English Channel has burdened the asylum system, incurring significant taxpayer costs. The article also touches upon public misconceptions about migrant numbers and predictions of white Britons becoming a minority by 2063 due to demographic changes from high immigration.
