Most places are not primarily immigrant, unless you believe that everybody that isn't voting Reform is an immigrant.

> You don't think since the Boris Wave there has been a surge in politicians taking anti-immigration positions?

That's not what we are arguing about. No question that the avg. level of opposition to immigration has gone up.

But interestingly again this is not actually correlated with how many immigrants are arriving, and the popularity of these politicians isn't actually correlated with how good they actually did on immigration.

Boris himself being in power while there was a lot of immigration but he remained popular with the base.

Because most people don't have any actual understanding of immigration issues or look at any kind of data.
