Western Governments versus The General Will
Excerpt 18 from CELEBRATING WHITENESS "Chapter 3: Confronting White Genocide"
British polls since Powell’s 1968 speech show that, despite changing public attitudes on race and migration, the British public have still consistently wanted less immigration, and yet their political overlords have only been increasing the number of immigrants that the UK receives with each passing decade. In a 2018 YouGov poll, 63% of the British public believe that immigration into the UK for the past ten years has been too high, with 39% believing that the level of immigration was much too high.[1] According to a Deltapoll survey in 2018, almost three quarters of UK adults favor reductions in immigration: 70% of adults favor reductions, with 42% of adults favoring a large reduction.[2] Regarding how these public sentiments should translate into political action, a 2024 poll conducted by the UK think tank Onward found that a majority of voters in 9 out of every 10 UK parliamentary constituencies want to see immigration levels reduced and controls tightened. The poll notes that, while support for looser migration controls and higher levels of immigration is higher in large cities (where most immigrants live), every demographic group analysed in the poll want lower immigration levels, including 68% of those who voted to Remain in the European Union.[3] Frustratingly, despite the public’s overwhelming desire to lower immigration, this has not translated into positive political action on this issue—instead, Britain’s rulers have only increased the amount of immigration into Britain with each passing decade. In short, the will of the British public is being ignored and actively opposed by those who rule over them.
Furthermore, the British public have expressed a clear and significant ethnic preference for the kinds of immigrants that they wish to enter their country. In 2020, a poll conducted by the UK Migration Observatory found the following:
Regarding people from Australia, 10% of the British public believe none should be allowed to migrate to Britain, 28% believe a few should be allowed, 41% believe some should be allowed, and 21% believe many should be allowed.
Regarding people from France, 14% of the British public believe none should be allowed to migrate to Britain, 35% believe a few should be allowed, 37% believe some should be allowed, and 14% believe many should be allowed.
By contrast, regarding people from Pakistan, a whopping 36% of the British public believe none should be allowed to migrate to Britain, 33% believe a few should be allowed, 24% believe some should be allowed, and only 7% believe many should be allowed.
Similarly, regarding people from Nigeria, 37% of the British public believe none should be allowed to migrate to Britain, 34% believe a few should be allowed, 23% believe some should be allowed, and only 7% believe many should be allowed.
It is worth more closely comparing here how only 10% and 14% of the British public believe no one from Australia and France, respectively, should be allowed to migrate to Britain, but sizeable pluralities of 36% and 37% of the public believe no one from Pakistan and Nigeria, respectively, should be allowed to migrate to Britain. As the Migration Observatory describes it, this demonstrates an “ethnic hierarchy” of preference among the British public where “at the preferred end of the scale are those who are white, English-speaking, Europeans and Christian countries while at the least preferred are non-whites, non-Europeans and Muslim countries”.[4] In other words, the more like the British the prospective migrants are, the more likely the British public are to prefer those prospective migrants; whereas the less like the British the prospective migrants are, the less likely the British public are to prefer those prospective migrants—a perfectly understandable and sensible preference. These are clear and significant ethnic preferences—preferences that the ruling elite of the country have consistently refused to respect and abide by for generations, and which they have increasingly disrespected and rejected in recent decades as the number of migrants has risen exponentially compared with the decades before.
A majority of Brits also seem to be aware of the harmful consequences that the presence of large numbers of Non-Whites has upon their ethnic survival and well-being. In 2017, an Aurora Humanitarian Index poll found that 56% of the British public feel that British culture is threatened by ethnic minorities.[5] In a similar vein, in 2019, British nationalist Laura Towler conducted a survey across several towns and cities in the UK, and asked over 2,000 people who identified as White British the following question: “How do you feel about the fact that white Britons are already a minority in London and are likely to be a minority across the whole of Britain by 2060?” The three possible answers were as follows:
“I feel that white Britons becoming a minority in Britain is a GOOD thing.”
“I feel that white Britons becoming a minority in Britain is a BAD thing.”
“I have no strong feelings on the issue of demographic change.”
The results: 4.8% of respondents said it is a good thing, 68.5% said it is a bad thing, and 26.3% said they have no strong feelings.[6] Now, the fact that this survey was conducted by a British nationalist might be an indication that the results are somewhat prejudiced, which is possible, but I would wager that the 68.5% figure here is not too far off the mark. Admittedly, the fact that no one else besides White nationalists is asking this question makes finding data difficult. That being said, I would not be surprised if, indeed, a sizeable majority (and certainly a plurality) of the White British public does think that becoming a minority in Britain is a bad thing—even though I have yet to see a more authoritative survey dare to ask this question.
My suspicions here seem probable considering the results of numerous other polls conducted in Britain and Europe at large. For instance, in a YouGov poll conducted in 2016, citizens of various European countries were asked if they agree or disagree with the following question: “There are so many foreigners living here, it doesn’t feel like home anymore.” The results show a large portion of various European countries agreeing with this statement, including 37% of Britons, 38% of Spaniards, 44% of Germans, 47% of Frenchmen, and 52% of Italians. As one might expect, the media used these percentages as indicators of “The most anti-immigrant countries in Europe”, and took the opportunity to denounce these attitudes for being xenophobic.[7] Additionally, according to a 2018 Pew Research Center poll, more than half of Europeans (51%) believe that fewer immigrants or no immigrants at all should be allowed to move to their countries, while only 10% believe that more immigrants should be allowed to move to their countries.[8]
Similar sentiments exist in the White nations outside of Europe as well. In the United States, for instance, which has long been considered a land of immigrants, a 2022 Gallup poll found that 38% of the American public want immigration levels reduced. While this is a decrease from a high of 65% in 1995, the 38% figure is still a plurality of the population, greater than the percentage who want immigration levels increased (27%) or to remain the same (31%).[9] In another 2019 survey conducted by Pew Research Center, 46% of White Americans stated that America becoming majority Non-White would “weaken American customs and values”. Additionally, Pew found that 53% of White Americans fear that this change would result in an increase in racial and ethnic conflict, while 43% of Non-White respondents say the same.[10] In Canada, according to a 2019 survey commissioned by CBC News, 57% of Canadians believe that Canada should not be accepting more refugees. Additionally, 56% of Canadians believe that accepting too many immigrants will change Canada, and 24% believe that too many immigrants are visible minorities.[11] In Australia, a 2019 YouGov poll found that 46% of Australians think immigration should be reduced, while 23% feel it should be increased, and the remainder either believe it is fine as it is, or they do not know.[12] These polls clearly show that public opinion on migration, though more mixed than in the 1960s, is still generally against mass migration; yet the public’s opinion does not seem to matter to the people who rule over them. If the public’s opinion mattered to our rulers, then immigration would be decreasing; but not only is immigration not decreasing, it’s not even holding constant—it’s increasing, despite a majority of the public wishing otherwise. It is also worth pointing out that, despite Establishment rhetoric claiming that lowering migration is somehow “Far Right”, lowering migration is actually a solidly Centrist position. Rather, if anyone is Far Anything, it is the person who wants to keep migration levels the same, and especially the person who wants migration levels increased. Interestingly, the Establishment panicking about giving one shred of ground to “The Far Right” have given, and are giving, enormous swathes of ground to The Far Left. This tells us a lot about the political character of the Establishment ruling over us.
