Politics

Many political parties have similar stances on migration: policies on the right to asylum for genuine refugees, attracting ‘the brightest and the best’, clamping down on illegality, are all likely to be agreed on by parties of the left and the right. However, migration is unavoidably political as it raises questions about what attends the distinction between citizen and non-citizen, and indeed the validity of that distinction in the first place.
