"The left wing solution should be the redistribution of capital to prevent the need for movement."
That ain't gonna happen any time soon. And I am talking about Labour here, the hard core socialists I know have no problem at all with immigration. Labour now has.
Besides, Labour is OK with "acceptable immigrants" that "fill gaps" but just letting people find their own work (EU rules) is not good.
And with canning FOM much will be lost for Brits. I have to agree that left/right is somewhat irrelevant.

The left wing solution should be the redistribution of capital to prevent the need for movement.
Once you do that FOM ceases to have any economic argument, and becomes a purely social one. The social discussion of the benefits of migration are between pro-imigrationists and anti-imigrationists, not left/right.
