Nope. No democracy on earth has abolished asylum, and there's a reason Rupert Lowe's own policy paper is more careful than his post. It says the plan would "effectively" abolish the asylum system. "Effectively" has quietly disappeared from the recruitment graphic. Abolishing the system wouldn't mean "no more asylum seekers". People fleeing persecution would still arrive and still ask for protection. The only change would be that nobody would decide their claims. He'd create a permanent population who can't be granted status and can't be removed, which is the opposite of what he's promising. Removal needs somewhere to send people. The UK has little or no returns arrangement with several of the main nationalities arriving. Rwanda cost around £700m and sent four volunteers. To even attempt this, Britain would have to leave the Refugee Convention, the ECHR and the UN Convention Against Torture. That would put the Good Friday Agreement at risk and could cost us EU security cooperation, the very cooperation that helps tackle smuggling gangs. Hungary tried a far milder version and was fined €200m plus €1m a day. Lowe is just one (very rich, very bigoted, very divisive and very manipulative) MP, talking out of his arse, mainly to gullible people, to racists, and to a fair few gullible racists. This is a Restore membership drive deploying a cheap, misleading, largely meaningless slogan.
