Why have we not had a referendum on immigration ?

Paul R

Because immigration isn't meant to be for our benefit, it's all about tax. more tax = more cash for greedy MPs to cream off. What they didn't take into consideration is that immigrants often send a lot of money home, and that more people also need more public services like schools, police, roads, prisons, hospitals...

Westerners tend to have sensible sized families so they can maintain a decent standard of living, so Labour prefer to encourage immigrants who will breed like rabbits. They really don't care if our country is turned into a 3rd world refugee camp into the bargain. It's all about providing cheap workers for big business.

Anyone who thinks British people are unwilling to work, while immigrants do the jobs they won't should look at this graph.

Notice how Muslims are 3 - 4 and a half times more likely to be unemployed than average? Great plan Labour.. Truly outstanding.

That would be democratic and we all know new labour hate representative democracy.

We won't have a referendum because Labour don't want the people to have a say!! I can't wait until these lot are out.

Cei

And if we had a referendum - everyone knows what the answer would be. Don't let anymore in.
How exactly are the idiots currently in charge going to do that?

Therefore what's the point?

The same reason we have not had and are unlikely to have, a referendum on anything, Brown and his ellite chums think we are too stupid to know whats best for our country and more than that, they don't want our opinion.

We haven't had a referendum on anything since 1975.

That would be far too democratic....wake up man...your dreaming of Christmas past...don't you know of the E.U dictatorship of Christmas present? Even MPs could be replaced with robots with the E.U calling all the shots by proxy and they aren't even elected officials...even the electorate isn't needed....what a laugh....back to sleep now...wait till Christmas future.

You Brits honestly couldn't have a referendum on a referendum, its not that the natives are spineless its the piss ant shi't scared little turds that allow outsiders from outside to dictate policy to them that are spineless.

For the same reason we didn't get a referendum on the Mastrict treaty or the Lisbon treaty or anything else , because the government know that they will not get the answer they want .
Most people in the UK are anti immigration , anti a Federal Europe and anti Euro and the government knows this and for that reason we will never get a referendum on anything .

Democracy, government by the people either directly or by their elected representatives. Now clearly no government has been charged by the people to allow unrestrained immigration into this country.
Neither have they been authorised to give up our sovereignty to the European union. Both of these issues are something which will have a major impact on our culture, our security and our descendants future.
They are too important to allow politicians to make the decisions on. The fact that they have and continue to disregard the views of the indiginous peoples is a betrayal of our ancestors and of our descendants. This makes those politicians who have participated in giving away our country guilty of treason. If we had a proper democratic system it would probably never have happened, and although our troops are sent to other parts of the world to impose democracy we cannot claim to have it here.

because congress and the president are afraid of the hispanic protest and don;t care that 12 million illegals are taking jobs that the 7 million unemployed might fill and reduce the recession effects and also cut goverment debt

Aha..

Because it's probably racist in some form, as are most things.

Major Disaster

The question should be: 'What would the result be ?'
Most middle-class people are very PC, so would be in favour of it.
And there is the HUGE ethnic minority vote - -
Us lot would be in the minority.
