About these data

Full question: At previous elections the Conservatives made a pledge to reduce net immigration from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands. This pledge was never met. At this election they have pledged to reduce immigration, but have not set a specific target number. Do you think the Conservatives are right or wrong to get rid of their specific target number for net immigration?
