British Voters Now More Right-Wing on Immigration Than Americans

British voters across the political spectrum are much more likely to hold strong views on immigration and even ethnic homogeneity than Americans, with 70 per cent of right-wing voters saying it’s bad for society “if white people decline as a share of the population”.

The remarkable results come from a preview of a forthcoming paper by the National Centre for Social Research {snip}

Asked whether they agree with the statement “We risk losing our national identity if we are too open to people from all over the world”, a massive 81 per cent of people who voted for either the Conservative Party or Nigel Farage’s Reform Party at the last General Election said they would agree, compared to 65 per cent of U.S. Trump voters. {snip}

On the statement “It is bad for society if white people decline as a share of the population”, 70 per cent of UK right-wingers agree, a full 27 points ahead of Trump voters, who agreed 43 per cent of the time. On the left, 24 per cent of Labour voters said yes, while just 9 per cent of Harris voters agreed.

Asked whether they are “uncomfortable with people speaking a foreign language in public places”, 66 per cent of British Conservative and Reform voters agreed. Trump supporters do not share this sentiment as broadly, with just 47 per cent agreeing, followed by Labour voters at 28 per cent, and Kamala Harris supporters at 17 per cent.

Again, on ethnic homogeneity, a majority of right-wingers in Britain said they agreed that “society is weakened by being made up of many different races, ethnicities, and religions”. A majority of 52 per cent said that was the case, well over double the number of American conservatives who said they thought so, who came in at 19 per cent. Those Trump voters only came in a little ahead of British Labour supporters, who agreed 14 per cent of the time. {snip}
