You seem the most reasonable and least fanatical on this, and I think you might be able to give an honest answer.
Would you not prefer a balanced rational debate on immigration?
Lets say for arguments sake we agree that Labour or the left has to move to a position of accepting more negative impact from immigration, in the same breath the right has to move to a position of admitting that lots of people who think they are negatively impacted by immigration are not as is absolutely undeniably backed up by the objective data and that they are exploiting this for political ends.
The right is in total and utter denial about the polarisation they too are apart of in the immigration debate and the negative impacts thereby.
I am not labour, I have no affiliation with that party and when Gordon Brown gave his resignation speech I was fist pumping as I hated that guy.
"No more boom and bust" Through the biggest credit expansion in history. That tilted me sooooo much.
What I want is rational, reasoned and enlightened government and the national debate to be framed thereby. I vote accordingly in light of that and most of the time that means holding your nose and voting for the least worst option.
To be frank, I find the blatant fist pumping by Lord and co about the irrationality and hysteria around the immigration debate deeply ignorant. Literally demanding that the debate collapse completely and concede to this irrationality is strange voo doo.
Surely we all aspire to more than that?
