v2 Chapter 1090: Consensus Politics to Address Immigratio

"It's really not easy to be praised by the opposition party." Aiden flashed past the face of the No. 2 figure in the Labor Party, and explained calmly, "The Conservative Party can turn a blind eye to this situation. One-sidedly assuming that the problem does not exist, but the responsibility to the country makes me unable to remain indifferent... "

Gatzker almost wanted to cover his face. These conservative bigwigs have thick skins and are absolutely invincible. And Aiden is the best among them, and this is where he started to make a long speech.

However, Gatzke also admitted that what Aiden said is true. The influx of immigrants has caused social public services and resources to be overwhelmed, and thorny social problems have followed.

When immigrants first arrived in the UK, the primary problem was not work but housing. Therefore, housing shortages soon appeared in many cities and industrial areas, and became more serious.

In some places, the housing gap has reached as high as 50%, and the lack of a fixed place has brought serious social problems. Immigrant unemployment is another serious chronic problem. Economic factors are the main reason for the post-war immigration wave. While the Commonwealth immigrants continue to supplement the labor force needed by the United Kingdom, the number of unemployed immigrants continues to increase due to skills, language, customs, and discrimination. stay high.

Unemployment for these same immigrants is more than twice that of native citizens, and the immigrant problem doesn't stop there.

Take the British Kenyan Indian who Aiden is going to operate this time as an example. The Indian immigrants who entered the country before have gonorrhea 20 times more than the native citizens, and the tuberculosis patients are 30 times the native citizens.

These issues have caused contradictions between native citizens and immigrants. As early as the Labor Party was in power, the Conservative Party’s backbench members had formed an anti-immigration force and asked the Labor Party government to answer questions about immigrants’ diseases, crimes, and specific numbers.

The Labor Party government does not exclude immigrants, but it must also ensure its own support rate. However, considering the nature of the Labor Party, it is impossible to use the immigration issue as a main means of increasing support rate. But today Aiden made a surgery on immigration, and Gatzke and Harold Wilson could not object in the House of Commons. They knew in their hearts that this matter should be resolved.

Now that the Conservatives are willing to tackle the issue, Labor is in opposition and cannot erect barriers on immigration. Otherwise, it will be extremely detrimental to the support rate of the Labor Party.

There is not much difference between the Labor Party and the Conservative Party in the House of Commons. If the Conservative Party succeeds in betting and borrows anti-immigration groups to increase support, Eden may call an early general election next.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the UK, so the two can't take the risk of blocking it, but instead support the passage of the new immigration law.

"Consensus politics is the cornerstone of the two parties after the war. We just think that some issues should be amended. As for this bill, the Labor Party will not object in principle. Nothing is more important than ensuring the stability and development of the UK."

Gatzke stood up and expressed support for Eden's proposal, and the House of Commons began to vote on the new immigration law.

When the Labor Party was in power, the radicals and the traditional left joined hands because of similar views, and dominated the attitude and position of the Labor Party on the immigration issue. liberal immigration policy.

But isn’t the Labor Party now the opposition party? Even if there is fierce opposition, the Conservative Party can still pass the new immigration law.

Consensus politics, Eden said, so this bill was jointly introduced by the Conservative Party and the Labor Party.

The Conservative Party should not let the Conservative Party take credit for its merits, and must benefit equally. If there is a backlash, anyway, the Labor Party is the opposition party and can maintain the status quo of being a strong opposition party, and the Labor Party is not at a loss.

"Politicians really don't think about anything other than approval ratings." Alan Wilson happened to be a guest here at Makins, and through the BBC's broadcast, he saw a scene where the two parties hypocritically claimed consensus politics.

This matter is of course related to Alan Wilson. The residence principle mentioned by Aiden was first implemented by Alan Wilson in the Malaya colony. This time Aiden brought it to the House of Commons for discussion.

"Otherwise, what are they thinking?" Maggins also chimed in, "With their heads like trilobites, they can think about how to increase their support rate, but thinking too much will be troublesome. Our workload will increase again. gone."

"That's true." Rejecting the whiskey Makins handed over, Alan Wilson picked up the thermos and took a sip, "The issue of Indian descent in British Kenya is not the first day, at least the cabinet has been aware of it for several years , This is the first discussion in the House of Commons, expecting them to do something, you really need to maintain a strong patience."

Makins didn't see him either, he drank his wine glass and asked, "I heard that your man returned from a visit to India without success, and now India has reached the point where we are ignoring us?"

"Heh..." A grin flashed across his face, and Alan Wilson said inexplicably, "It's a powerful country. Isn't it normal to reject our past suzerain country? Just wait, one day we will descend like gods , to save these Indians from fire and water."

Alan Wilson felt that the Cuban Missile Crisis was an opportunity for the UK to show that it was busy, and that its peers wanted to increase their influence. Isn’t there a war in the Himalayas? It's officially a good time for my Great Britain to sublimate to the fullest.

You can use this to enhance the influence of the United Kingdom. The specific operation is that when the war starts, the United Kingdom first pretends to be attracted by the Cuban Missile Crisis, and after careful weighing, it still feels that the United States can solve the problem alone, so it decides that Nehru Bundle.

Of course, how to pull it is particular. It is well known that the British Army is a shortcoming of military power, so this difficult task must fall on the Royal Navy. But from a practical point of view, the Royal Navy fleet in Malaya is an old warship in the eyes of the United Kingdom and a big killer in the eyes of other countries.

It is normal for old warships to take a while to dispatch, and they have to inject fuel and run in again. By the time you get to the Bay of Bengal, you have already finished fighting. This can't be blamed for the delay of the United Kingdom. Who made you not resist the beating in India?

At that time, Alan Wilson will also support Nehru at the diplomatic level, so that Nehru can persist, and reinforcements will come soon.

"Sir Wilson, for the sake of the Commonwealth, give brother a hand..."

"Prime Minister Nehru, please hold on for the last five minutes, the Royal Navy is approaching you at fourteen knots."

In a short period of time, Alan Wilson has already imagined the scene of the sublimation of my British during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Although he did not catch up with the war in the end, he can use this to be a good onlooker.

As for Nehru's inability to hold on, that's Indian cuisine, which has nothing to do with me, Daying.

Makins naturally didn't know that Alan Wilson had so many inner dramas, and was still sighing, "It seems that the development of India's strength has made India full of confidence now."

"When did they not have self-confidence?" Alan Wilson said in the tone of someone who had experienced it when Makins said this, "The biggest thing I know about Indians is that Indians have almost stupid self-confidence. In fact, they have What is commendable? The time when India had the most international status for thousands of years was when it was British India. The Indians are like the zero they invented, they are really a zero..."

"Perhaps the burden of history is too heavy? Ancient civilizations have some problems. By the way, you also know something about bamboo curtains. How do you feel compared with India?" Makins asked the orientalist expert.

"If we can turn a place into a colony, we will do it directly. If we can't do it, then we really can't do it. Of course, I'm not saying that they have no problem. In fact, for six hundred years, in some fields they have There are indeed big detours.”

Alan Wilson refers to the field of mathematics. In the 21st century, the Song, Yuan and Ming and Qing Dynasties are generally discussed together. At least in the field of mathematics, it makes sense. After the Song and Yuan four, Chinese mathematics has not only not progressed. , but also disappeared from the classics.

"When the interns from Malaya arrive in the UK, I still have to meet them." Without thinking too much about the conversation just now, Alan Wilson changed the subject.

"You know them." Maggins nodded. "It is most appropriate for you to meet the interns of these colonies."

"That's natural! I wrote all the English-Chinese dictionaries in the UK myself." Alan Wilson said with a straight face, "Mr. Churchill's manuscript fees may not be as much as mine in the future."

Even now, with the income from the unsolved mysteries of the world, which are very popular in various countries, Alan Wilson no longer puts the Nobel Prize winner Churchill in his eyes.

"What's the use of that?" Markins frowned slightly, English-Chinese dictionary? Who can sell it to?

"Why is it useless? You don't understand~lightnovelpub.net~I don't want to explain to you." Alan Wilson waved his hand, don't think that the translation is useless, if you change it to a Chinese, Rolls-Royce and Rolls-Royce are absolutely Not an acceptance.

Take Marilyn Monroe as an example. Monroe is actually a feminine translation of Monroe. Translating to Marilyn Monroe will add a sense of alienation out of thin air. So a good English-Chinese dictionary can help Britain save huge hidden costs.

It is also a car, Land Rover sounds very domineering, and Luo Fu sounds nothing special. Besides, writing a book is something to be proud of, and it can also increase my academic color, and maybe I can get an extra salary when I retire.

The new immigration law in the House of Commons has been overwhelmingly passed, and the heartache of British Kenyan Indian belonging that has lasted for several years has now disappeared with the tightening of immigration laws.

Alan Wilson was in a good mood. He strolled into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, and bumped into Wick, the chief private secretary who came out head-on, "Wick, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Executive Undersecretary." Wick nodded immediately, holding a telegram, "News from Paris, the Charles de Gaulle government has announced a nationwide mobilization to completely resolve the Algerian issue. Anyone who refuses to perform military service will be regarded as a traitor .”
