Britain's Politics

       
       Something that I found intersting in Britiain's politics is the topic of Immigration. 

Immigration here in the U.S is a an important topic and is always presented in the news, so it 

was interesting to me to see what Britain's view on immigration is. 

       Cutting Immigration 'will harm deficit reduction,' this was the news title. The news 

focused on how cutting immigration can increase Britain's debt to GDP ratio, meaning that 

immigrants improve things because when they become older they are least likely to claim for 

benefits and to even give in to the economy."Because they’re more likely to be working age, 

they're more likely to be paying taxes and less likely to have relatively large sums of money 

spent on them for education, for long-term care, for healthcare, for pension expenditure," 

Robert Chote said. 

       In the UK most immigrants arrived at a "working age" this ends up saving tax payers 

education costs. Although this does sound good to the people in Britain, thoughts on cutting 

it differ. For example the younger generation some think is good some do not agree, while 

the AB social classes have a non negative view on immigration.

Nationalism

 

Nationalism today is very important to us. After the turmoil in Egypt, Muslims and Egyptians are coming together to stand behind their flag. Sentiments to help their country has led for unity. Christians were scared that Egypt would become an Islamic state and Muslims have strongly objected this idea. Both religions are fighting for their country. Through history both religions have had conflicts and disagreements. This is an example of how nationalism has prevailed during a chaotic time. The uprisings in Egypt has led to unity among the people of Egypt.

       Egyptian nationalism “is the broad umbrella under which a coalition of anti-Brotherhood forces has assembled.”  An important factor to point out is that back in the days the problems surfaced from an external threat, while today is come from Egypt itself.
