You would need to look at a lot of data points, to even extrapolate that corruption correlates with immigration, let alone even make a point that it causes corruption.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah well someone's done it, who's a bit more proficient than a matlab grunt

https://www.jstor.org/stable/26633620

"If poorer immigrants carry unproductive social capital with them, we would expect to see that they increase the level of corruption.

The estimate on the initial stock (but not flow) in Table 6b supports this argument, suggesting that in the short run, immigration may increase corruption. However, as shown in Table 6a, the effects of immigration remain insignificant in the long run."

So yes, there is correlation between the short term increases in corruption and immigration from more corrupt countries

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/30/uk-perceived-as-more-corrupt-lowest-score-global-index-transparency-international

So that recent dip in the graph can well be explained by the fact that the shift in immigration away from EU countries

And now deary I'd like to see your robust mulitvariate analysis of:

"A huge drop in transparency that coincides with the hijacking of the conservative party leadership by the proven liar and the inept, self-interested pygmy."

IMF also forecast the UK economy will expand by a mere 0.6% in 2024- second slowest in the G7.

Russia? 2.6%

If people come here from countries in which corruption is part of its culture then our corruption levels are going to increase. It's not that hard to understand really
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which countries are these?

Corrupt ones

EU countries are significantly less corrupt than the African and Asian countries where the UK immigrants have been primarily coming from since that chart in the guardian link has been going downwards.

Also it's funny how Denmark had the largets ML scandal in history that makes the PPE one here look like peanuts but still perceived as relatively corruption free

You didn't want to assume my gender but you've clearly assumed my ethnicity, political leanings, cultural background, and Country of birth
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nah. I haven't assumed anything. You're just working on the assumption that a second generation immigrant can't be xenophobic. I don't agree with that and using you're logic from early in the thread; it's xenophobic to have that assumption.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The number of immigrants over here is quite high, but I'd say a very high %age of them are "shut the door behind them" types.

As I say to Quebecois bigots:"Suck muh dyk."

So, immigration opens the door to Brexit and ushers into power all the degenerates and charlatans previously occupying the back seats in Westminster. And the fact that these people can't help but steal anything that isn't nailed down is also the immigrants fault?

Sinn Feins Michelle O'Neill FINALLY taking up her post as NI First Minister, history in the making.

Have the DUP members been getting full pay while effectively on strike for ~2 years?

Funny how this comes up while everyone's talking about corruption

All members have been getting paid, they haven't been sitting and making decisions but, I assume, they'd still be doing their constituency work.

Hungary is free to leave the EU if it doesn’t want to be blackmailed and give back all of its money.
