The stats I’ve seen have shown that immigrants from Schengen contribute more than average and commit less crime than locals.

As such on a purely data driven view there is nothing wrong with Schengen. For most people the issues isn’t with movement within the people that have lived in Europe for generations. You know they are European, they have European values and there is a back and forth movement/ different perks. In a way Schengen works the way it was designed and works well.

The tax break allows you to save. Means you will accumulate a deposit earlier in life, all else being equal.

What’s wrong with catering to the young? They need help.

Well some I agree with strongly. Other stuff you have just completely made up. Were you get your info from Facebook?

Yes so we agree. Wages need to be increased and the best way to do that is to stop businesses undercutting wages by hiring cheap foreign labour. Demand for labour goes up and with it wages.

Inflation is largely a global issue.

Are you saying they magically become different people once they are in the country?

A country can choose to let that person in or not.

There is a big difference between tax cuts in general and tax cuts on the poorest people in society.

But I agree. Tax cuts across the board are a bad thing usually but I can see why people vote for that. People feel they need more money and it’s not coming from wage increase.

Exactly. That’s what’s happened in Denmark. The facts speak for themselves.

This website is so extremist even the you talking about why this is happening is being down voted. This website doesn’t not like anything that exists outside of their bubble.

You don’t need a wall. Just don’t let people in.

It’s not fear mongering if it is already happened and people can see first hand the impacts. That’s why people vote the way they do they see the reality of the situation and the current parties are telling them things that are lies.

Well done France. This is democracy in action. Ignore the people and tell them what they want, they will just find someone that will listen to them.

All the left/centrist parties in the world just need to look at Denmark and the far right will go away within one election cycle.

Tax in francs starts at €10,778.

You think anyone under 30 that earns more than €10,778 is rich. Come on.

I think helping everyday working class people is a good thing. That’s what they want.

Sure if you want to help businesses fuck the common people. Keep wages low and prices high and keep the upper class rich.

Most people don’t think like that though.

They are their policies. People vote for policies. Um that’s how politics works.

Those policies seem to me something that would attract people. They currently have the largest amount of votes. So if people are voting for the parties policies what are they voting on? Their favourite party colour?

Young people are more likely to go into debt at the start of their lives. Whether it be for things like rent, buying a car, buying a house, education.

If taxes are lower they can either have more savings or pay of debt faster.

Come on it’s not that hard to realise more take home means you have more money. Christ this website is so financially illiterate.

Poland’s a great country. I went there and loved it way more than I thought I would. Lovely people, lovely culture, lovely country. Wages going up every year. They seem on a good path.

Why don’t they just let anyone in they? Why have rules on which people are allowed to immigrate and which aren’t?

Yea. You hope that the more centrist parties look at what the population are desperate for and will do anything for. And then you hope democracy works and people get to vote for that they believe is right. Hopefully that happens in conjunction with sane and stable leaders listen to the demands of the people.

Currently large amount of the people feel ignored or certain issues and feel only the fair right is listening to them. If they had anyone else to vote for I’m sure they would.

Well lots of countries have immigration requirements or points based systems. So it is obvious that countries already use means to choose which immigrants it wants.

This just needs expansion. You look at immigrants or children of immigrants that commit more crime than locals or contribute less than locals and you don’t bring them in. Because bringing them in makes the country worse.

It’s obviously an average but that is all immigration requirements are.

According to the BBC

Alongside policies for giving French citizens “national preference” for jobs and housing, they want to cut VAT on energy and allow under-30s to escape income tax.

existing promises on immigration, crime and insecurity as well as tax cuts to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.

Sounds like some good policies no wonder they are getting loads of votes. The reduction in taxes always comes back to bite you and that’s probably a mistake but the lower tax for the youth allowing them to get started in life instead of being in debt is a great idea. I haven’t heard anyone have such a progressive idea.

You mean bringing in people like that.

A country could you know. Not bring them in. Issue is solved then.
