Nearly 40 per cent of British Jews would 'seriously consider' emigrating if Corbyn became PM (Jewish Chronicle)
Nearly 40 per cent of British Jews would “seriously consider emigrating” if Jeremy Corbyn became Prime Minister, a JC poll has found.
British Jews between 35-54 are most concerned about the prospect of a Labour government under Mr Corbyn, with over half saying emigration is a serious consideration.
51.77 per cent of British Jews said they would not seriously consider leaving, with a further 9.7 per cent saying they do not know.
The results, in the latest survey of British Jews carried out for the JC by polling company Survation, means that the election of a Labour government would leave around 115,000 seriously considering a new life abroad.
