Let's start supporting parties that have principles.

And stop making excuses for parties that don't (i.e. Labour, Lib Dems and Conservatives).

At the moment, the UK public (and media) considers it a sport to disparage and smear parties like Reform, whose leaders want to shrink the power and over-reach of the state.

We are so concerned with appearing virtuous and internationally generous, we cannot be seen to align with a party that wants to put UK citizens first (border security? deporting dangerous criminals back to their home nation? gasp, how could we be so ghastly!)

This self-defeating attitude needs to change if we want a better future for our children.

The problem is that there are none.

The correct assessment of all these political parties is that by default, they all cannot be trusted. Especially both labour and the conservatives.

Yes. The second problem is that the United Kingdom is incapable to changing itself historically and is fundamentally destined to never be open to change.
