British voters actually back many of
Donald Trump’s policies, a poll reveals.
In the survey, 2,000 voters were asked what they thought of the US president’s agenda on reducing migration, the environment and diversity, but were not told that they were Mr Trump’s policies.
Mr Trump used his inauguration speech last week to declare a national “border emergency” on the US’s
southern frontier with Mexico.
When asked whether a similar “border emergency”
should be declared in the Channel, more than half of British voters said yes.
Voters supported other key elements of his speech, including that Britain should be a “merit-based, colour-blind society” and that there were
only two genders.
Those asked also said they would support a British attempt to “fill our strategic [gas] reserves up again right to the top” and export it all over the world – which would be a snub to
Ed Miliband’s net zero agenda.
They also supported tariffs on other countries to protect UK workers.
