Hard line on immigration could cost Tories the election

Nigel Morris writes an insightful perspective on how he believes the Immigration issue in the United Kingdom could drastically affect the Tories (conservative party in UK) severely. The Tories don't have much support from minorities initially but their stance on immigration might tip the scales. The Labours (other political party) have supported immigration and are gaining momentum from immigrants and other ethnic minorities. Morris believes that since the Tories stated their stance on immigration will severely affect how they will result in the upcoming election.
I thought this article was interesting because of how a certain stance on a subject can affect how well a person would do in an election. Since the Tories have explicitly explained their status on immigration, that might have split their undecided voters and those who support immigration away from them if they decide to vote. Even thought they might be aware of the consequences, they still decided to hold their position. They showed confidence in their beliefs and did not cower from the repercussions.
This article ties into the upcoming general election for the United Kingdom. It shows the stance of the Tories and the neutral state of the Labours. Giving political opinions can affect a party drastically or minimally. A neutral state is usually best to attract people but taking a stance will isolate two different sides, receiving from those who support and losing from those who oppose. This article could also influence the voter to vote for or against the Tories by twisting word to make the Tories's stance more severe than originally stated in order to gain progress for the Labours.
