Modern-Day Politics and Today’s Ideologies Now

Who knows us better than us? There can be nothing worse than someone who does not know us saying they do, especially in politics.

One of the worst culprits are politicians. On TV and in the papers, they waffle on, saying they know what the British public wants, but they are out of touch or just make it up.

The public always has ways of showing its displeasure. By-elections and local elections are the usual way of showing a government how they are feeling in politics.

But still the politicians take no notice. They know what we want, not us. Keir Starmer is a culprit of this. He knows what the public wants all the time.

Things on the public’s mind are the cost of living and illegal immigration. We can see our shopping increasing with fuel prices rising every day.

Every time we get our weekly shop, it seems we pay more. Inflation from last year has increased, and people are struggling to make ends meet.

The pressures of paying gas, electricity and other utility bills are zapping the public’s wages before buying food. The pressure on OAPs and low-income families is becoming intolerable.

Illegal immigration is also a top subject on many people’s minds. All these illegal immigrants coming in mostly by boat and lorry, too, have become a major talking point.

Labour talks about immigration but fails to address illegal immigration.  Sometimes, 1000 people arrive illegally on our shores looking for asylum weekly by dinghy.

For communities that have these immigrants living with them in the community, they worry for many reasons, especially their children.

But if we need any other indicators, Reform is looking good in the polls with their immigration policies.

Reform doesn’t even talk about their other policies, except immigration, only on occasion. Is this not a plain indicator of what the people want?  

 So does the government know what the public wants? They don’t understand basic constructs. We can see the evidence in the public liking of Reform.

Reform took the local elections by storm. Ok, it could be a protest vote against Labour. But in the polls, Reform is consistently the frontrunner and has been for some time.

At the end of the day, each political party is out for what it can get. All full of promises and manifestos that they break.

There is no solution, but all we can do is Vote and hope.
