Is this a perfect society if no rules can be broken? Or is being able to break the law an important part of being able to hold a government accountable? How could a Chinese man or woman ever try to hold the government to account if as soon as they look to protest or speak out they are seen, ticketed and ruined through their social credit score?

BRET BAIER: "There are literally cameras everywhere...they see everything...our driver parked illegally for 2 MINUTES and got a ticket for $40!" "Because they saw it, on the camera."

Is this a violation of UK sovereignty? Why is the UN so against the idea of deportations? Are they in the right to be fighting against the deportations?
Replying to @StateDept
While the United Kingdom faced unprecedented illegal boat crossings, UN agencies condemned plans for deportations. UN officials lobbied aviation regulators to prevent the deportation of migrants – an appalling violation of the UK’s national sovereignty.

Even if this is the case, should not all elected officials be permanent residence in the country where they want to be elected? Expanding on this should they not be born citizens as well? Is there anything wrong with wanting the people that are elected to have the most "skin in the game possible" and not able to leave as soon as things go wrong? What are reasons to allow a non-permanent residence to be voted into public office?

Is this the case because for minority's it's a way to gain wealth. And for the "white" countries leaders it's a way to gain power by pandering to the good in people while calling those that disagree racist? Or is it something else?

With European polls this week showing an increase for all the anti migration parties in the three biggest economies the UK, Germany and France. Do the issues that these parties are tackling need to be taken more seriously by the other parties and other nations in Europe? Will other parties ever concede they may have taken immigration too lightly or will they continue to just call these parties racist and hope for a change in public opinion?
