>>96102873>Immigration has been sharply curtailed due to voters turning against parties that don't turn against itIn Sweden, perhaps, where the state had to call in the military to suppress an immigrant crime wave.
In Britain the natives have always opposed increases to immigration, but it got pushed through anyway. There isn't even a party willing to deport illegal immigrants, despite the majority of each party's voters supporting it.
In the Netherlands and Italy, right wing governments came to power because of the immigrant problem, and proceeded to do nothing because of institutional opposition and/or their own self interest as the state.
In Germany and France, most people oppose mass migration, but their political parties refuse to work with the anti-immigration parties over the immigration issue.
The situation is essentially the same in Spain, Ireland, etc.
If the current governments turn on immigration, it's not because the will of the people changed (it's been consistent for decades), but because the government now sees immigration is a problem.
>Voters don't care about climate policy or public morals.Many do care.
but the point is that what people think is downstream from elite institutes likes government and corporations. In America, most democrat voters opposed gay marriage until a couple decades ago when opinions flipped, not because of a grassroots revelation but because the elite institutes decided to make it so.
