Thread: Liberals want a world without borders.

Freedom of movement

Liberals believe that, subject only to the rights of others, every individual is entitled to the right of freedom of movement wheresoever they wish to go and to the right of abode, wheresoever they wish to live. Our ultimate goal is the creation of a world in which national boundaries and prejudices offer no barriers to those who wish to exercise these rights.

We have opposed every Immigration Act since 1962, and deplore the ways in which these Acts have been used against refugees and those seeking to be with loved ones in this country. We reject as irrational suggestions that the liberalisation of immigration laws would lead to over concentration of peoples in countries such as Britain.

Liberals urge a liberal interpretation of the Vienna Convention on refugees, a right to legal representation and review before deportation and cooperation under the auspices of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to ensure the equitable settlement of refugees who flee oppression without having a predetermined destination.

Liberal Party Policy Statement :: Individual and Group Rights

We (the Liberal Party) reject as irrational suggestions that the liberalisation of immigration laws would lead to over concentration of peoples in countries such as Britain.

The above is, of course, totally naive.

As we know, almost the entire broad left (which includes the Greens, Liberal 'Democrats', Scottish/Welsh so-called 'Nationalists' (SNP/PC) etc.) want more immigration into the crowded UK.

Many liberals/leftists also whine incessantly about what they see as climate change and the need to cut carbon emissions but contradict this by supporting moves to bring in more immigrants: thus increasing the UK population and the amount of carbon emissions from these islands of ours.

Open borders can't work if only one or two countries do it.

It might be workable if everybody allowed unlimited migration (except of crims, who belong in jail anyway).

In environmental terms, one could argue that Australia is more overpopulated than Europe. Without immigration control there could easily be 200 million people living here - unsustainable. Or at least the population would balloon until the water ran out. Bangladesh has an extreme population density, but at least they have the water to help support it.

We are fortunate that these morons have not been in government since the 1920s (although those who have replaced them are only better by the smallest of margins).

Any parties, frankly, would be better at Westminster than the mafia entrenched there at the moment.

Open borders can't work any way you look at it.
Else everyone would live in Rio and Barnsley would be empty.

Then Rio would be an overcrowded hell-hole whose inhabitants would dream about escaping to the peace and quiet in Barnsley.

Rio is an overcrowded hell-hole.

These Liberals are crazy.
The full manifesto they would put in place would finish Britain off in record time.
They make Labour look like the Far Right.
