Consequences of high population growth:

Bad:

• It continues to cause over-development
• It continues to cause stressed infrastructure and crowding
• It leads to a worse quality of life due to stress and fewer resources per head

Not Bad, but... :

• It is xenophobic to oppose this policy BUT This is not a real point, it is just mud-slinging and false guilt by association
• It is selfish to oppose this policy BUT This is not a real point, it is just mud-slinging since it is a trivial benefit to India, China..
• Low immigration would lead to a more ageing population BUT This is not a real problem. It will mean more jobs
• National security - we need more people and money to fight China, Islam, Russia.. BUT It will make no real difference

We cant build more beaches

• Helps preserve the environment. Reduces output of pollutants, and reduces environmental degradation.

• Causes increased house prices. Increases demand significantly.

• Causes stress on infrastructure (roads, trains, hospitals...) Infrastructure spending should be budgeted for 10 years when immigration numbers are set, but it is not. Normally, spending only happens after there is a crisis.
