> Studies have shown that in the UK immigrant populations pay more in taxes than they pull out in benefits, I imagine it's the same in Switzerland, despite what neo-fascists might want to believe.

It doesnt say anything about the real cost of immigration.All I know is that the british people are getting less and less benefits per people,their healthcare system is being privatized and education is getting more and more expensive,without the "neo-fascists" in power. The ruling elite is doing everything so that more and more people want to vote for what you call "neo-fascists".

And frankly there is no "neo-fascists".It's the bogeyman the elite uses in order to scare off people and make sure they vote "the right way".Fortunatly less and less people are falling for that scam.

Huhwhat? The recent damage to the benefit and healthcare system and the huge increase in university fees both happened under the current Conservative government, not because of immigration but because of policy. Turns out the left-right axis is real, and the far right really is further to the right (e.g. UKIP's deputy leader recently said that he couldn't see the NHS surviving in its current form because it didn't have any free-market competition).

Seems the opposite for me. Nigel Farage did pretty well last election.


The party that I think he will be referring to is UKIP, which is pretty much like the current government just with more extreme attitudes to government.
