I hate to bring up the topic but the only thing the left needs too do is adopt a tougher stance on mass migration, as well as on neoliberalism. I really believe that's their weakest point. Maybe I'm wrong but I think this is it. Most people don't really like to point it out but there is a major dislike of mass immigration and 'too much' multiculturalism. This past year especially, I've seen a stronger right wing tone in comments section on a lot of websites and boards I visit. I've been saying for years that the major weak point of the left is their (perceived?) penchant for mass immigration. I'm mostly indifferent to it all, because I'm not much into politics, and as a 2nd gen immigrant myself, it's kind of hypocritical but also pragmatic depending on how you look at it. I don't want to have to deal with a rising right wing sentiment when Dutch people become a smaller and smaller part of the population in major cities or the country/there's too many foreigners. Every country in the world has always had minorities and multiculturalism, but the question is, to what degree is it able to be maintained peacefully? These last few decades, especially with globalisation/internationalism there begins to be a backlash against mass migration. I've been saying that for years and got called racist for it by leftists, even though all I said was I think mass migration is a bad idea, I even warned about UKIP so long ago on the Mediamatters website and they just laughed at me and said "they're a joke, they're never gonna get into power, racist/bigot/etc.". Well, they're not laughing now I bet.
