The 2010 General Election in 2010 was marked in England by 3 TV debates. Next to the economy they focussed on immigration.
The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, stressed that what was needed was a points system. This is what the Leaders of the current Leave campaign want! It begs the question: Labour was in power 13 years so if a points system was the answer why didn't they have one?
All 3 Speakers repeated their arguments in all 3 debates.
David Cameron wanted a "cap".
Nick Clegg wanted an amnesty.
Both Labour and the LibDems later admitted they had got it wrong on immigration.
It only remains for Mr. Cameron to admit it.
Instead he has called a Referendum on the UK remaining in the EU, knowing that people who want to Leave mainly do so because of immigration.
It's for sure that foreigners who witnessed those debates would have laughed in disbelief, or if they are pro-British shaken their heads in despair.
