Nothing better epitomizes the gulf that now exists between the Conservative and Labour elite and their voters than immigration. So argues Prof. Matt Goodwin in this episode of Deprogrammed. He points out that the Conservative establishment have failed to understand that immigration is the second most important issue for Conservative voters, many of whom now find themselves politically homeless. The same applies to many Labour voters. Whilst there are smaller parties that have stronger immigration policies (Reform, Reclaim & SDP) these are not cutting through with the general public. As a result there is a huge gap in the market for a powerful new insurgent party to emerge - much as UKIP did. The Conservative Party meanwhile is failing to do the one thing that has ensured its survival through the centuries: re-invent itself. The current Conservative Party is not a serious party, Prof. Goodwin contends. It has no intellectual gravitas, its leaders and low-grade MPs are a pale imitation of the giants that once dominated the party and it is simply too out of touch with the needs and demands of its voter base. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.
