Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.

I also think society is intertwined. "High earners" need delivery drivers, their convenience store, their takeaway, a receptionist at the dentist, litter pickers, their dustbins emptied, etc. etc. etc. Unless there are locals ready, willing, and not working, you'll create a shortage and inflation.
