Chapter 1090 Consensus Political Solution to Immigration
“It’s really not easy to have praise from the opposition party.” Aidan flickered from the face of the Labor Party’s No. 2 and elaborated unhurriedly, “The Conservative Party can turn a blind eye to this situation and one-sidedly treat it as if the problem doesn’t exist, but the responsibility that I shoulder for the country makes it impossible for me to remain indifferent ……”
Gaitschke simply wanted to cover his face, each and every one of these Tory bigwigs has a thick skin that has absolutely no equal. And Aidan is even the best of them, which began to blow up at length.
However, Gaitschke also recognizes that what Aidan said is true, the influx of immigrants has led to the overloading of social and public services and resources, and thorny social problems have ensued.
When immigrants first arrived in the UK, their primary concern was not work but housing, and as a result, many cities and industrial estates soon experienced housing shortages that became more acute.
In some places, the housing shortage was as high as 50 percent, and the lack of a place to live brought serious social problems. Immigrant unemployment was another serious chronic problem. Economic factors are the main reason for the emergence of post-war immigration, the Commonwealth immigrants in the United Kingdom continue to replenish the labor force needed at the same time, but also due to skills, language, customs, discrimination and other reasons caused by the number of immigrants continue to increase the number of unemployed people, so that the unemployment rate remains high.
The unemployment rate of these immigrants is also more than twice that of native citizens, and the problem of immigration does not stop there.
Take the British Kenyan Indians that Aidan is going to cut into this time, the Indian immigrants that have entered the country before are twenty times more likely to have gonorrhea than the native citizens, and thirty times more likely to have tuberculosis than the native citizens.
These issues have created a conflict between native citizens and immigrants, and back in the days of the Labor Party, Conservative backbenchers had formed an anti-immigrant force that demanded that the Labor government its answer to questions about immigrant disease, crime, and specific numbers of immigrants.
The Labor government does not reject immigrants, but it also wants to protect its support, although it is unlikely from the attributes of the Labor Party that the issue of immigration will be used as the main means to increase support. But today Aidan opened the door on immigration, and Gaitschke and Harold Wilson could not oppose it in the House of Commons, and the two men knew in their hearts that the matter should be resolved.
Since the Conservative Party is willing to solve this problem, the Labor Party is in opposition and cannot put obstacles in the way on the issue of immigration. Otherwise, it will be extremely unfavorable to the support of the Labor Party.
The gap between the Labour seats in the House of Commons and the Conservative Party is not large, and if the Conservative Party is successful in its bet and borrows anti-immigrant groups to increase its support, Aidan’s next step may be to call an early general election.
This sort of thing, which is not uncommon within the UK, is why the two cannot risk blocking it and instead favor the passage of the new immigration law.
“Consensus politics is a cornerstone of the post-war bipartisan defense. We just think there should be amendments on some issues, and as for this bill, in principle, the Labor Party will not oppose it. Nothing can be more important than ensuring the stability and development of Britain.”
Gaitschke stood up and expressed his support for Aidan’s proposal, and with that the House of Commons began to vote on the new immigration law.
When Labor was in power, the radicals and the traditional left, hand in hand because of their similar views, dominated Labor’s attitudes and stance on immigration, making clear their firm opposition to any form of restriction on foreign immigration, even escalating to the point of parsing their advocated liberal immigration policy on a moral level.
But now that Labor is not in opposition, even if it is fiercely opposed, the Conservative Party can still pass the new immigration law, rather than so, it would be better to take this opportunity to improve the new immigration law, to increase the color of the Labor Party in it.
Consensus politics, Aidan said, so this bill is a joint effort between the Conservatives and Labor.
You can’t let the Tories take all the credit, you have to share the benefits equally. If it causes a backlash, the Labor Party is the opposition party anyway, and can maintain the status quo of a strong opposition, the Labor Party is not a loss.
“Politicians really don’t think about anything other than being full of support.” Alan Wilson happened to be a guest here in Makins, and through the bbc broadcast, saw a scene of the two parties hypocritically claiming something about consensus politics.
The matter is related to Alan Wilson of course, and the principle of residency mentioned by Aidan was first practiced by Alan Wilson in the Malayan colonies, and this time it was taken up by Aidan for discussion in the House of Commons.
“What else would they want?” Makins also helped on the side, “With their brains like trilobites, they can only think about how to increase their support, thinking more is rather troublesome. Our workload is going to increase again.”
“That’s true.” Refused the whisky handed over by Makins, Alan Wilson picked up a thermos and took a sip, “The issue of British Kenya’s Indian belonging is not the first day it appeared, at least the Cabinet has known about it for several years, and this is only the first discussion in the House of Commons, and counting on them to do something about it, you really need to maintain strong patience to be able to do so.”
Makins didn’t see any outsiders either, pinching his wine glass and sipping it to himself, inquiring, “I heard that your one’s trip to India was unsuccessful, and now India has gotten to the point where they’re ignoring us?”
“Heh ……” face flashed some humming smile, Alan Wilson meaningful inexplicable said, “have a sound and colorful big country well. Rejecting us as an outdated sovereign state, isn’t that normal? Just wait, one day we will be like the gods of heaven coming down to save these Indians from the fire.”
Alan Wilson felt that the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United Kingdom will be able to take the opportunity to show that they are very busy, the peer is to enhance the influence of the Himalayas is not a war? Formally my Great Britain extremely sublimated a good time.
You can take this opportunity to enhance the influence of the United Kingdom, the specific operation is the start of the war, the United Kingdom first pretended to be attracted by the Cuban Missile Crisis, and then after careful weighing, or feel that the U.S. can be solved alone, so decided to pull Nehru a hand.
Of course, how to pull is a delicate matter, as we all know that Britain’s army is the short board of military power, so this difficult task will inevitably fall on the Royal Navy. Only from a realistic point of view, Malaya’s Royal Navy fleet, are some in the eyes of the United Kingdom in the eyes of the old warships, other countries in the eyes of the big killers.
It’s normal for old warships to take a while to get out, right? They need to be fueled and broken in, and by the time they dawdle to the Bay of Bengal, you’re done fighting. You can’t blame the UK for dawdling, who made you India not resistant to a fight?
At that time Allen Wilson will also give Nehru support at the diplomatic level, so that Nehru is holding on to hold on, reinforcements are coming soon.
“Sir Wilson, for the sake of the Commonwealth, pull a brother ……”
“Prime Minister Nehru, hold on for the last five minutes, the Royal Navy is closing in on you at fourteen knots.”
A short time, Alan Wilson has brainstormed about the Cuban Missile Crisis during the Cuban Missile Crisis, my Great Britain extremely sublimated drama, although in the end is not caught up with the big battle, but can use this to be a good onlooker.
As for Nehru could not hold out, that is India is too much food, and my Great Britain is not a little related.
Makins naturally does not know Alan Wilson so much inner drama, still sighing, “It seems that the development of India’s strength, so that now India is full of confidence.”
“When have they not been confident?” As soon as Allen Wilson heard Makins say this, he said in a tone of a passer-by, “The biggest thing I know about the Indians is that the Indians have a confidence that borders on stupidity. In fact what do they have to claim? The most international status India has had in thousands of years was when it was British India. Indians are as much a zero as they invented the zero ……”
“Maybe it’s too much historical baggage? Ancient civilizations have some problems, and by the way, you know something about the Bamboo Curtain. How does it feel compared to India?” Makins inquired the Orientalist.
“If we could colonize a place, we would just go ahead and do it, and since we can’t, we really can’t. Of course I’m not saying they don’t have problems, and in fact for six hundred years they did have a big detour in some areas.”
Alan Wilson was referring to the field of mathematics, the twenty-first century is generally spoken of as a combination of the Song and the Ming and the Qing Dynasties, at least in the field of mathematics it actually makes sense to speak of it that way, after the four great masters of the Song and the Yuan Dynasty Chinese mathematics not only didn’t progress, but also disappeared from the canon.
“I’ll have to meet with the Malayan interns when they arrive in the UK.” Without thinking much on the pulling of the pedal just now, Alan Wilson changed the subject.
“You know them.” Makins nodded, “It would be most appropriate for you to meet with the interns from these colonies.”
“That’s natural! I wrote all the English and Chinese dictionaries in England myself.” Alan Wilson strained his neck and said with a tone of resignation, “Senator Churchill’s manuscript fee may not even be as much as mine in the future.”
Even now, with the income brought in by the world’s unsolved mysteries that were so popular in various countries, Allen Wilson already didn’t put Nobel Prize in Literature winner Churchill in his eyes.
“So what’s the point?” Makins frowned slightly, an English-Chinese dictionary? Who could it be sold to?
“How is it useless? You don’t understand, I don’t want to explain it to you.” Alan Wilson waved his hand, don’t think that the translation is useless, change into a Chinese, Rollo cars and Rolls Royce cars are definitely not a degree of acceptance.
Take Marilyn Monroe for example, Monroe is actually a feminized translation of Monroe, and translating it into Marilyn Monroe will add some alienation out of thin air. So a good English-Chinese dictionary can help the UK save huge hidden costs.
Again, when it comes to cars, Land Rover sounds dominant, and Rover sounds like nothing special. Besides, writing a book is something to be proud of, and it adds to my academic color, so maybe I can retire with an extra paycheck.
The new immigration law of the House of Commons was passed by a high vote, which lasted several years of British Kenya Indian belonging to the heart disease, now with the tightening of the immigration law disappeared.
Alan Wilson was in a good mood and entered the Foreign Office building idly, and ran into the Principal Private Secretary, Wick, who welcomed him out, “Wick, you wanted to see me?”
“Yes, Permanent Undersecretary.” Wick nodded immediately, holding up a telegram, “News from Paris, De Gaulle’s government has declared a national mobilization to put the Algerian problem to bed. Anyone refusing military service will be considered a traitor.”
