I voted for them, there's no other way of getting immigration under control. In 50yrs time there'll be nothing for anyone in this country with immigration at the current rate. We don't have the land nor the infrastructure to support it, the only way is out and to take our chances with the economic situation that will result.

A massive spending program to put a framework in place for the sharp increase in population would offset the strain on resources such as the NHS and housing, but with the threat of progressively severe financial crashes in the future it won't happen. None of the main 3 are gutsy enough to deal with what lies ahead, it would be a PR disaster for them.

I'd actually totally understand if some sort of revolution led to the UK becoming an 'extreme right authoritarian' country; it might be the only thing that will save the place from the results of inaction.
