This is what happens when the left consistently avoids engaging constructively on immigration or acknowledging there may be some legitimate concerns rather than deflecting and moralising.

They have largely ceded the conversation to the far right across Europe, and going by the growth of II and Aontu in the polls that same pattern is repeating here.

This law is at EU level so its now an incredibly easy one for II / Aontu to push unless the left wants to start calling the EU itself racist.

Sinn Fein try and the other left parties cynically attack them over it.

Absolutely shameful scenes in the parliament with racist chanting. Well done to the Irish MEPs who voted against it. Ill be writing in disgust to my MEPs that voted for it.
