Adler answered Brooksy's last question about the danger that the leftist migration policy being perceived as anti-democratic. If you change the wording and emotional priming in the surveys you will get different poll results that could easily make the lefts migration policy in broad terms the more democratically favoured. Also, it is not intrinsically anti-democratic to in effect go against the will of the majority on one specific policy if ramifications of that same policy are in favour of the majority opinion in another way, and with complex economic policies there are always such competing tensions.
