Breitbart reports: “According to research by the Conservative Party based on figures from the most recent Economic and Fiscal Outlook by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), mass migration will not only drive up the cost of housing but also put a serious strain on the supply of houses.
“The OBR predicted that net migration between 2026 and 2030 will stand at 1,172,792 people, who in turn will require an estimated 499,000 additional homes.
“With Britain expected to only build around 1.34 million new homes, the party’s research found that migrants will account for 39.1 per cent of all new homes by the end of the decade.”
The strain on housing caused by continuing mass immigration will drive up the average house price by £9,489 or $12,560.
Although Conservative Members of Parliament are attempting to blame current Labour policies for the bleak outlook for housing, others with longer memories are reminding the public that it was a Conservative government, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson in particular, who allowed record levels of foreign immigration, despite a pledge to “regain control of our borders” by leaving the European Union.
In a recent interview, Johnson said the decision to allow millions of migrants into the country during the pandemic was necessary to suppress inflation caused by his lockdown policies.
This so-called “Boriswave” has been denounced by Nigel Farage as “the greatest betrayal of democratic wishes in anyone’s living memory.”
Farage added, in an interview in September, “This isn’t what Brexit voters wanted, and it certainly isn’t what any Conservative voter wanted from 2010 onwards, where in election after election they were promised that net migration would come down to tens of thousands a year, and we learn that in the worst year it was… certainly over one million.”
