Net Migration and British Prime Minister David Cameron

British Prime Minister David Cameron: With polls regularly showing immigration to be one of the top three concerns for Britons, Cameron is under pressure ahead of European elections in May and a national election next year to make good on his promise to cut net migration to the "tens of thousands" by 2015. , according to Reuters. The Office for National Statistics said on Thursday that the net flow of long-term migrants into Britain had increased by more than 37 percent in the year to September 2013 from 154,000 in 2012 to 212,000. British Prime Minister David Cameron's pledge to cut annual net migration to below 100,000 was undermined on Thursday after figures showed the net flow of migrants coming into Britain rose by 37 percent to 212,000 people in the year to September 2013. Trailing in the polls, eurosceptic lawmakers in his Conservative party want him to get tough on the issue, partly because they want to stop voters defecting to the anti-European Union UK Independence Party which opposes "open door immigration". It risks splitting the center-right vote in 2015. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
