What do you think are the ingredients to politics?
This is a difficult question which can be its own thread…
One critical ingredient is what DHH mentioned: cohesive culture.
Others are:
Rule of law,
Clean elections,
Unbiased media,
Free speech
Listening to voters. Open immigration has never been a majority view in USA and Western Europe.
From DHH:
In the mid-90s, after a decade of doe-eyed optimism about immigration in general and asylum seekers in particular, a powerful nationalistic party set a tone for foreigners in Danish politics that remains to this day. At first the political establishment fought this new force, sought to keep them out of influence, but it didn’t last long, because the renegades represented the will of a large number of Danes who realized the dangers of unrestricted immigration early, and voted accordingly.
