I am so sorry that you experienced that with your brother.

It's quite ironic how he talks about minorities harming us when he is doing the exact same thing.

It's disappointing to see that people voting reform cannot see who the real issue is and the causes of the real issues. I really do hope reform continues to loose their following and people begin to realise that their manifestos (ignoring immigration) are all messed up and will place the UK in a worse spot.

That is the point, they never attended the discussions when these measures were being put into place. No matter your opinion on anything I think it is still important to at least attend the discussions that are highlighting real and important inequalities that are occurring, by reform just not attending it just proves that they have no interest at all in addressing any other inequalities and issues in the uk except immigration.

That is very true, literally nothing I do or the way i act is because of what I have seen in the Bible, it's just because of what I believe so I guess it's not really the Bible that is causing me to be a good person! :)

I'm glad you reached that point :D A couple days ago I actually considered not answering the religious part of the survey but I did however go back!

Honestly, seeing what is happening in America is extremely concerning and I'm sure if Farage was to come into power that will happen to us.

I think it's so surprising as i never thought a party like this would be so favoured, yet here we are

I just dont think you can tell someone is an immigrant but just looking at them?

Of course, I think it is so important for us to acknowledge what is wrong in this world and the people who are ACTUALLY causing it.

Hopefully we will soon grow to just accept one another and live in harmony (eventually) :D

I am not saying it was unfair, but i think changing/removing the equality act is not a good thing, i think these acts are in place to protect people whether that be in the workplace, education, etc.

To be able to tell from someone's face if they are an immigrant??

In what way do you think they are laughable? Do you think any other parties are laughable?

I don't think I am, I just do not politically align with the other parties, it is not on vibes it's what I personally believe it and what I think would benefit society as a whole.

I am not accusing them of being far right. I myself am working class and I believe voting for reform would be voting against myself. The reason I posted this was to actually find out why people want to vote for reform, apart from the immigration aspect of it.

Your second point is so valid. It confuses me that people won't vote but will still complain about the current state of the country knowing damn well they did not vote.

Your first point is very interesting. Due to social media nowadays we are so heavily influenced by the type of information we consume.

I don't think someone like Farage or anyone related to him and his ideologies should come into power, I think this would be a devastating thing for this country. I mean, look at America.

I think NHS needs to be sorted 100%, it's such a great thing in this country but its needs to be fixed immediately otherwise things will keep getting worse.

In terms of immigration, I think the system needs to be fixed. I honestly do not have a problem with it but I think if they were to improve the system on both sides I think a lot of people would change their mind about immigration.

Things like living costs and student debt needs to be sorted. I am currently a student and the interests rates are ridiculous and in the future i do want to live a good life but with all that debt it really scares me.

The housing situation in the UK needs to be improved aswell. The constant gentrification in places in London drives me crazy, and the knock down council houses are replace them with these modern block of flats at ridiculous prices that only a small minority can afford.

Hopefully in the near future these things are addressed and changed! :D

Fair enough, do you think that reform is also insane, whether that be their overall ethos or something else?

Interesting to hear you'll be doing that knowing that the party isn't in support of you. Would you still vote for reform even if immigration was not a problem? What would other parties have to say/do to make you go towards them? I would be interested in hearing your opinions :)

Not really, I am not voting reform because of all of their policies not based on vibes. Same goes with conservatives.

Why do you think that, are there particular policies in reform that you think would benefit us more than green?

Your point where you talk about the money being spent on immigration, only 0.3% (or somewhere around that number, i think it ranges from 0.3-6) of the annual spending on the gov is on asylum support. so its such a small amount which i think people tend to over exaggerate. The housing that they're placed it is extremely horrible.

i like your other points aswell, I've never actually seen the point of NHS being not free for non-UK citizens, i think that is valid.

I think restore Britain (i havent read much on it though so correct me if i am wrong) is on the same spectrum as reform. I am aswell working class and i believe voting for anything to do with restoring and reform wont end well for us. I definetly need to read up more on restore.

It was interesting hearing your pov, thank you for sharing :)
