Could this produce a shock result with yet another right wing anti EU party winning?

Opinion polling supports this

Awkward fact for some

The Netherlands has a higher population density that the UK (878 per sq mile cf 694 per sq mile)


Wrong !

England has become the most overcrowded major country in Europe. Population growth is so rapid that four times as many people will soon be crammed in as France and twice as many as Germany. England has overtaken the Netherlands to become second only to tiny Malta as the most densely populated nation in the EU.27 Dec 2013

Already heard that Erdogan is making threats towards the EU..all he'll have to do is open the floodgates..But having said that..wasn't it the EU who promised them shed loads of money to keep out illegal migrants?..and free passage into the Eu for millions of Turkish citizens?

Then the EU has lied to him????
I do recall our previous PM saying that he would do everything in his power to bring Turkey into the EU stable.......I am not allowed to use the adjective that I would like to.

Fine, ok, then let provision be made for all the migrants be made to Live in Scotland, Wales and N Ireland or better still, the republic of Ireland.

Here in the south east of "England" there is standing room only. /S:

Well I am sure the Netherlands doesn't put all its migrants in its most populous province (Zuid-Holland) either

The Buccaneer was deliberately using false comparisons. Debate deserves better and I think we can figure out he did it because he couldn't counter the point being made.

The problem of the South East is just about nothing to do with migration and everything to do with the folly of the endless rush to a service based economy. In such just about all serious money is made by being in near proximity to others making serious money IE big cities and London is the biggest. We grew up in a time where real money was just as much made by proximity to the natural resources being utilised and that meant far greater dispersion of people.
