I get that people feel betrayed when promises aren't kept, especially on immigration. But blaming the govt alone ignores the bigger picture. If native birth rates were high enough to fill low-paid, tough jobs like care home workers, delivery drivers, and supermarket staff that immigrants currently fill, immigration might not be necessary. But it's not.

So yes, the govt has a tough job balancing public opinion with economic realities.
Also simply saying democracy is pointless because of disagreement isn't the answer.

The real issue is that society needs to face the hard truths: low birth rates, labor shortages, and economic demands. I already mentioned it, but raising the birth rate isn't something that can happen overnight, and even if it does, it takes time to see results.

Sadly, For now, the reality is that the country must rely on immigrants to sustain itself
