Summary
A recent survey by NatCen, reported by the Financial Times, highlights growing anti-immigration sentiment in the UK. Over 60% of right-wing voters find hearing foreign languages in public unpleasant, surpassing the 47% of Trump supporters in the US. Additionally, 52% of UK right-wing voters believe multiculturalism weakens society, and 70% view a declining white population as harmful, both significantly higher than their US counterparts. Even among UK left-wing voters, anti-immigration attitudes are more prevalent than among US Democrats. Rising opposition to illegal immigration, particularly via small boats across the English Channel, has fueled support for Reform UK, which now leads in polls over traditional parties like Labor and Conservatives.
