IF PEOPLE are searching for a reason why the working class are deserting the Labour Party in such great numbers they would do well to look at Labour’s immigration policy.

The Labour Party supports open door immigration to the half a billion EU citizens who have the right to migrate to Britain under the EU laws about free movement of people.

The Labour Party cannot see how their policy impacts on Britain’s unemployment and the desperate shortage of houses that exists in this country. Until the Labour Party changes this policy and starts supporting controlled immigration it will never regain the votes it has lost from within the British working class.
