What nonsense you talk, ClintonBeGone !
From England to Holland to France to Spain to Australia, all over the developed world, anti-immigration populism is a political tsunami. All driven by the same quality of life, burden on the taxpayer grass roots anger we see here. Howard triumphed in Australia because he flatly told the Australian people, "I don't care what Greenpeace or Amnesty International think. I will put every 'assylum-seeker' on an island detention camp. I will not impose on you the cost of do-gooder compassion. Parasites will not overrun our country."
Now here you are, as oblivious as the Dutch politicians were before Pym Fortyn.
You truly are a sham if you think this country should emulate anything french. Just ask Moshe Journo what it's like for a Jew in France getting caught up in this political tsunami you seem so proud of.
