UKIP - The Future - Volume 2

"High levels of immigration will undermine living standards by putting huge pressure on schools, housing, hospitals and water supplies in the UK, an economist warns in in a report published today.

The economic gains of large-scale migration to the UK will be outweighed by the need to build more homes and improve transport facilities to cater for population growth fuelled by newcomers and their children."

Report from Rob Rowthorn, Cambridge economist.

I genuinely love the fact that you're quoting a Marxist. That's made my day, it really has.

Also who pays for the expansion?
A few weeks ago I ended up in the local lidl, a few of the normal east Europeans the are always in these places were pushing elderly relatives around in new wheel chairs,
I just wonder how the system will cope with an influx of elderly people ? One of the arguments about immigration has been that the are usually young and fit, but if they are bringing their elderly parents I really think the healthcare system will not survive in its present form.

We'll see some big policy concessions to UKIP first. Should be interesting to watch!

Tough one. It may drive away a lot of UKIP support.

Must admit to some slight amusement at de Piero's strategy which appeared to be focused on a theme around "Margaret bloody Thatcher"

Guam's observation that some on PH seemed to be ahead of the curve compared to the so-called professional politicians is spot on.

Quite right too.

One thing that is surprising me, not just on personal social media, but also on business feeds, is the level of disquiet about Israel.

How much longer can the Coalition last? Seems as if Clegg is going to make a speech today more or less crowing about the failed Cameron migration policy.

She's a nightmare and should have been sacked ages ago.

It shows how poorly thoughT through their strategy has been in the last 18 months, when some of us suggested that the referendum be brought forward as a sound tactical decision, we were told the coalition had to be protected at all costs and yet it is increasingly apparent Clegg does not feel the same way!

It also opens up another question regarding the post election situation.

Seeing as many (most?) predictions seem to agree that the most likely outcome of 2015GE is no one having an overall majority, just who would seriously consider going into a coalition with the LibDems?

He's too careless, but just look at the opposition; Miliband defines haplessness.
