Miscalculations by the Labour Party could still cost them the election. This is what Rishi Sunak is hoping for at least. By getting his Rwanda plan off the drawing board and into reality could be a huge pitfall for Labour in the next General Election. This issue may become politically significant in the next General Election particularly because Starmer’s Labour have said that they will repeal the scheme. However Labour’s plans for a replacement policy on small boat migration remains at best woolly. It is unlikely to convince voter’s of it’s effectiveness. This may be significant if Rishi Sunak can actually demonstrate that the Rwanda Scheme is actually having an effect.
Immigration is going to be the next single most important subject for Britain since Brexit which is quite ironic really because illegal immigration was always going to result from Brexit which has caused it. In effect Sunak has sprung a trap for the Labour Party in thd same way that ‘ Get Brexit Done’ was a trap for Corbyn’s Labour Party.
The biggest problem for Labour us that they have no tangible plans for Illegal Immigration. Well at least non that could provide a reasonable deterant. Also Labour have made mention that they are unsupportive of the Rwanda deal and would scrap it if elected. However because they have no credible policy to fill the void if they scrap the Rwanda Deal then they are leaving themselves open to electoral defeat. It is a serious miscalculation by Labour if they don’t believe that illegal immigration is going to be a huge factor in the next election. It is therefore possible that Sunak’s Tories could actually pull off what was seemingly impossible and win another term in office against all the odds.
