Honest answer? You need to lobby your national left-wing, pro-privacy parties to start being openly anti-immigration so that they can actually stop shrinking every year.

I'm sure this will be a massively unpopular one, but it doesn't change that this is the reality you're facing. Go look across the makeup of the EU parliament over the last 20 years and how it has shifted. Check the main reason people have voted this way. Then go look at how the EU parties vote.

"But it shouldn't be this way!" Then enjoy your further slide into authoritarianism.

We're sliding into a whole other topic here, but I can't help but wonder whether any of the pro- and anti- immigration debate will have mattered, looking back 20 years from now when half a billion people will have been forced to move due to climate change.

  • Of course it won't have mattered. Doesn't mean that's not the reality we're facing right now.
