Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostIf you can get a job, according to various academic studies and the BoE, the greatest impacts of immigration on wage compression are experienced by those in the lower quantiles of the income distribution. They are also more likely to be living in areas with much higher immigration than average and, therefore, competing for public services. Or you could just listen to what working class voters are saying (see above). Obviously, there are other critical factors too, such as the demise of manufacturing jobs and their replacement (or not) with services jobs (much less skilled and less well paid), as well as misguided gov't policy over decades (failing to invest in public services in areas that experience high immigration), but Labour are part of that too. Labour MPs mostly dismiss immigration as a significant factor and, as such, they no longer represent their constituents (that only ~10 are for Leave says it all).

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI don't know who Gidiot or Korbyn are, are they imaginary right wing press figures? As far as I know, a lot of experts have given their opinion and I'm more of a mind to listen to them than a journalist or a member of a contractor's forum...
By all means, feel free to keep listening to the experts (I'm an expert, by the way ), but one of the problems with Labour is that they're talking to themselves, not their constituents.Comment
