Controversial proposal after Europe migrant crisis backlash

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has proposed a policy turning back asylum seekers that arrive by boat, similar to Australia’s Operation Sovereign Borders.

Europe has been battling a major migration crisis, with tens of thousands of migrants crossing from Morocco into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta.

Farage says his party’s proposal, which drew inspiration from the former Abbott government’s asylum seeker policy in 2013, would mark the UK’s largest military operation since World War II.

But experts are divided over whether such a plan would actually work.

Here’s a breakdown.
