Immigration and the green party

I've always voted green,but probably not really looked as closely as I should of done at their policies.
They are saying they want a world with open borders .
I was just looking at their immigration policy.
How will that work, welcoming anyone who wants to come here ,how will that work when there's no houses to put them in .
I read recently that a huge amount of brits are homeless and in temporary accommodation waiting for a home ..so I can't see how we can take endless people in ...much as we may want to house the whole world,we are a small island

The idea that white indigenous people not being ok with being a minority in their country of origin is racist and white supremacist is beyond me.

If I were to suggest that China should be ok about mass white immigration and not allowed to question it, I’d be laughed out of town.

i don’t believe in the great replacement theory but your sneery post is unhelpful.

This is such a stupid argument, white people of European ancestry have been the worlds biggest immigrants by any metric, but no-one talks about it.

Trump wants America First, yet his own Grandad was a German born and raised immigrant, he's a second generation immigrant himself.

Africa - Around 5 million in Africa (That's more people than Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham put together for context)
Australia - 16 Million
New Zealand - about 4 million.
North America- 200 Million
South America - 110 million.

So the Great replacement theorists just need to 'top up' Europe with 300+ white migrants of 'pure white European blood' living outside of Europe if they are so worried.

If you’d bothered reading my post, you can see I said that I don’t believe in the great replacement theory.

Green party controlled Bristol councilors here walking out of a public meeting because they refused to listen to a statement about womens - specifically lesbians - right to their own spaces. Green party homophobia in action and those councillors walking out should be stripped of their councillorships - they are there to serve the public.

So ,those who know more than me ..(most of you on here) ,do we have anything to worry about ,?are green likely to get anywhere near getting in at the next election.?
It just shows how you have to look at what individual parties stand for ,you can't just think ,oh ,green for environmental issues , reform for immigration issues ,.
I'm hopeful that Labour can take on board the country's mood on current issues,.
I'm not convinced an extreme party in either direction is best for the UK .

Not a response to your post @TeenagersAngst , it was to the whole Trumpian belief the white race is about to die out movement.

What you have to remember is , look at Tommy Robinson videos, he appeals to people WHO DONT VOTE, and that can upturn politics.

But just as there are people who hate politics on the right, the same can be said for the left, if they come out next election, anything can happen

It's true yes ...and green seem to be gaining in numbers as do reform
The thought of loosing the NHS worries me greatly,I haven't seen any success of privatisation in the UK ...every single time it has made services worse for the public...but great for the people buying shares
I get people are frustrated about immigration, but loosing the NHS is a high price to pay .
I pray Labour can turn things round asap

Of course it must stop. That's why its illegal. Nobody who arrives on a small boat should ever ever get leave to remain. Or any other rights. They're coming because they get favourable treatment here. Why are illegal deeds being rewarded.
