A new party with FPTP winning 14% of the vote. Yea that’s pretty strong. When was the last time that happened?

Not liking Farage is one thing but making up shit is another.

Of course he has had an impact on British politics. To say otherwise is madness.

Being lactose intolerance implies that at some point there was some deadly form of milk and squirting shit out of your arse at 400mph is an appropriate way of dealing with it.

The UK is a pressure cooker about to go off. If nothing meaningful changes in the next 5 it’s going to explode.

I think AI will be the petrol that’s going to take the whole thing up. It won’t change the world entirely in 5 years but it will do enough.

French citizens.

No country is responsible for the wellbeing of others. The days of empire building are over.

The stats I’ve seen have shown that immigrants from Schengen contribute more than average and commit less crime than locals.

As such on a purely data driven view there is nothing wrong with Schengen. For most people the issues isn’t with movement within the people that have lived in Europe for generations. You know they are European, they have European values and there is a back and forth movement/ different perks. In a way Schengen works the way it was designed and works well.

The tax break allows you to save. Means you will accumulate a deposit earlier in life, all else being equal.

What’s wrong with catering to the young? They need help.

Well some I agree with strongly. Other stuff you have just completely made up. Were you get your info from Facebook?

Not worth it. Get way more stealing off the church roof instead.

Yes so we agree. Wages need to be increased and the best way to do that is to stop businesses undercutting wages by hiring cheap foreign labour. Demand for labour goes up and with it wages.

Inflation is largely a global issue.

Are you saying they magically become different people once they are in the country?

A country can choose to let that person in or not.

There is a big difference between tax cuts in general and tax cuts on the poorest people in society.

But I agree. Tax cuts across the board are a bad thing usually but I can see why people vote for that. People feel they need more money and it’s not coming from wage increase.

Exactly. That’s what’s happened in Denmark. The facts speak for themselves.

This website is so extremist even the you talking about why this is happening is being down voted. This website doesn’t not like anything that exists outside of their bubble.

You don’t need a wall. Just don’t let people in.

It’s not fear mongering if it is already happened and people can see first hand the impacts. That’s why people vote the way they do they see the reality of the situation and the current parties are telling them things that are lies.

Well done France. This is democracy in action. Ignore the people and tell them what they want, they will just find someone that will listen to them.

All the left/centrist parties in the world just need to look at Denmark and the far right will go away within one election cycle.

Tax in francs starts at €10,778.

You think anyone under 30 that earns more than €10,778 is rich. Come on.

I think helping everyday working class people is a good thing. That’s what they want.

Sure if you want to help businesses fuck the common people. Keep wages low and prices high and keep the upper class rich.

Most people don’t think like that though.

They are their policies. People vote for policies. Um that’s how politics works.

Those policies seem to me something that would attract people. They currently have the largest amount of votes. So if people are voting for the parties policies what are they voting on? Their favourite party colour?

Young people are more likely to go into debt at the start of their lives. Whether it be for things like rent, buying a car, buying a house, education.

If taxes are lower they can either have more savings or pay of debt faster.

Come on it’s not that hard to realise more take home means you have more money. Christ this website is so financially illiterate.
