Looking in the "crystal ball".

If Labour gets in once again and they continue to import their voters in at the rate they have up to now, how long will it be before this country is a third world country?

/// Last week the final official figures before the next election showed that the number of immigrants granted British citizenship soared by half as much again to more than 200,000 last year, 58 per cent up on the previous year.///

/// The figure has increased by more than five times since Labour came to power in 1997.///

I don't think you can win an election with 200,000 votes - even assuming that they all voted labour.
The International Monetary Fund (that extreme left wing organisation based in Washington DC) seem to be of the opinion that the Tories are more likely to turn the UK into a 3rd World country by turning a single dip recession into a full blown depression..

I think there was another statistic on the news the other day that immigration had fallen upon the previous year. The thing is. that Cameron needs to buff up, he is slow in some respects and ideally he should be more in the forefront esp considering all the negative media surrounding Brown's bullying issue and his party's lapse attitude towards immigration. Some immigration is good but now is the time to show that the main parties have a control on the issue before people deflect and start casting votes elsewhere not just Labour. I hope everyone here votes Tory.

People from ethnic minorities are less likely to vote than their white counterparts. Little over 50% bother to cast their vote. The % of black women and asian women voting is substantially less than that.

Hi Rojash thanks for all the help given on the technology topics.

No I am not saying they could win an election with 200,000 votes, what I am saying that this is 200,000 more potential Labour votes towards those they already have. And yes I think that most immigrants would vote Labour, the party that invites them in and then looks after them.

>how long will it be before this country is a third world country

In some places in the UK the immigrants have already made it a third world country.

[jake-the-peg]

er no it didn't

The big rise was in student visas as I recall which as they pay full tuition subsidised British students and earns the country money

But hey don't let that spoil a "nasty foreigners coming here stealing our jobs" rant

[jake-the-peg]

Steve I'm sure if you reconsider it rationally you'll agree that there is no comparisom between the poverty seen in underdeveloped regions of the UK and what you see in third world countries!

Calm down and cheer up. Things'll turn out okay.
