Attitudes to immigration among Britons
There has been a significant liberal drift in public opinion towards immigration over the last 20 years. However, current polling data shows considerable public concern about the pace and scale of immigration. Majority of Britons desire to lower immigration, believe that it has been too high in the last decade, and have growing skepticism about its impact on the country. Immigration has become the third most important issue for all Brits, and the most important issue for conservatives. The politics of immigration is back and will likely have a profound influence on the next general election.
