Tom Tugendhat's pledge to cap net migration at 100,000 annually reflects a strategy to appeal to the right wing while addressing concerns over housing, infrastructure, and services.
Tugendhat suggested that an honest dialogue about population size is necessary for national satisfaction, which resonates with a significant portion of party members advocating for stricter migration limits.
His position of potentially leaving the ECHR to limit asylum seekers, along with a focus on legal migration caps, highlights hard-right policies aimed at reshaping the Conservative Party's image.
Polling indicates that over half of Conservative party members favor a five-year freeze on all migration, demonstrating a shift towards stricter immigration perspectives within the party.
