Contribuer à l'avancement du fascisme, c'est normaliser la parole de qqn qui veut abolir les droits de l'homme et l'égalité devant la justice.
Rendez vous compte du rôle que vous jouez dans ce démantèlement de la République.

Bottom line:
No - accommodation *does not* help social democratic parties.
Yes, it *does* hurt them.

The takeaway:

👉 Accommodating the radical right on immigration doesn’t win back voters.
👉 It alienates the progressive base.
👉 And it raises the salience of the very issue the radical right owns.
In short: it’s electoral self-harm.

If the objective was to win support and squash the electoral chances of Reform UK, then the strategy had the opposite effects.

❌ Labour’s vote intentions dropped
❌ Reform UK vote intentions unchanged (or at worse better)

If the objective of being tough on immigration was for Labour to be perceived as more right-wing & nativist, the strategy worked.

❌ Labour was seen as more anti-immigration & more right-wing
❌Immigration became more salient as an issue
❌ But Labour’s perceived competence on immigration fell.
