If you think so then just vote in your favorite "data-driven" dictator. I'm sure it will all end well.
There's no one to vote for proposing a system that I would approve of.
That sounds like a very good thing.

> December 15, 2025 Canada enacted "Bill C-3", granting citizenship to people born before Dec. 15, 2025 with ANY level of Canadian ancestry they can document. (It used to be a "first generation limit") This is misleading. Outside the first generation, the Canadian parent must have spent 3 years cumulatively in Canada prior to the birth, otherwise the child will not be a citizen. That's not a threshold you're likely t…

Stopping is a long way from "actively encouraging it and calling racist everybody who disagree" (and actively hide horrific stuff like the rape gangs).
I think the problem is creating an effective anti-immigration movement which does not have racial feelings running through the movement. It might just be impossible to do. When you wish to corral the votes you may have to accept the feelings of those who help you win.
Its really not hard to say "people coming from terrible countries without filtering drag us down on average".
Its statistically reasonable and not racist

The EU always has been a scapegoat for incompetent politicians. Now the EU is out of the picture, there’s no-one left to blame. And we can clearly see that the EU, for all its faults, is a very beneficial institution for all involved.
The EU always has been a scapegoat for incompetent politicians. You also see this in countries still in the EU and it will happen as long as we will not have true integration, it is always easier to blame the EU for your own failings, since it is harder for the EU to fend for itself in national politics. One recent example in my country is nitrogen deposition. Long ago, countries have committed to keeping certain nat…
The core issue with nitrogen deposition in the Netherlands is that the country chose to protect types of nature that are impossible to maintain in a densely populated country of nearly 20 million people. Instead, it could have focused on protecting and developing habitats that are better suited to higher nitrogen levels.
For example, converting heaths and meadows (which are unnatural for a delta anyway) into food forests might have increased carbon capture, reduced nitrogen-related pressures, and supported biodiversity in a way that aligns more realistically with achievable environmental goals.
Right now they're paying lip service to goals that are impossible to achieve, even if all economic activities were cancelled today, they wouldn't make a dent.
A referendum should be held on the subject.
