By and large people are easily swayed and will continue to pursue the "It cant get any worse" mantra. At that point we will realise just how bad it can get. We will become Trump lite or probably Farage will be Vance's glove puppet. Seriously worrying times. |  | |  |

Have you ever read the reform manifesto ? It must be no or you would not spout such drivel. All partys have differences. All want to improve the lot of the people as they see them. The Labour party want to improve the lot of the common people but dont understand how business works. The Consevatives push business and argue that creating more money supply helps everbody The Liberals just want to hug us all The Greens dont give a monkeys about anything except climate change. Reform want to slow down immigration (especially illegal immigration). That is not racist. That is they dont want any more freeloading criminals on boats. All of them say they want to deregulate. But Labour, Liberals and Greens dont. The Conservatives sit on the fence. This is all facinating. And then Trump throws in a curve ball or two. It's not boring is it ? [Post edited 27 Mar 16:16]

I'm sure much better brains than mine will be along to help, but my first observation would be that the Greens give too much of a monkey's about things other than climate change. |  |

Unfortunately for Farage, he is viewed as Trump fanboy by quite a lot of the electorate - possibly not by his supporters but certainly by most people who don’t feel loyal to one party. And the more looney tune Trump goes, the more it might reflect badly on Reform. |  | |  |

What Labour repeatedly fails to grasp is that shifting further rightward doesn't take votes from their opponents, it merely cedes the narrative to them. |  | |  |

We do tend to follow America but I hope we might see how badly that plays out and steer clear of it this time. By the time of the next General Election, Trump should only have a year left (if he survives that long). [Post edited 27 Mar 18:01]

Nah, it’s the other way round. Next USA election is Nov 2028. Next UK has to take place by Wednesday 15 August 2029 |  | |  |

Oh contrare. Read the manifesto and then watch how their actions change given the changes of circumstance and make your decision based on all the facts. This is a non party political announcement on behalf of the Kicking Party. |  | |  |

I think what’s being suggested is that your summary of the other parties may be lacking significant insight. However, I do think your wronguns stand a very good chance next time around. |  |

Doesn’t look good though does i? 38,000 in hotels at the moment, £5.5m a day for this, £2.8b a year, On those figures it costs you and me £144.73 a day for each one of those in hotels and that is just the accommodation costs! And more arriving all the time,so much for smashing the gangs! |  | |  |

I've replied to you on this rather than anyone else as you, like me, are elderly and we have seen it all. I'm not into all this angry stuff but equally I get frustrated by the gals and guys who just float around in a cloud. This uncontrolled immigration situation is absolutely insane - financially and stability wise. I massively welcome immigration but it needs to be targeted or at least authorised. 1000's of unchecked people just rolling up is absolutely not the way to go. Unchecked immigration is crucifying European countries - It's so frustrating that people are afraid to voice their opinions for the fear of being called racist. [Post edited 28 Mar 9:13]
