I was reading this morning that a large majority of those, who intend voting for Reform, would vote for the Tories if they were given a referendum on immigration.
The issue with that is I am sure that there are many who intend voting for Labour who could be persuaded not to, if they have an issue with immigrants, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it appears in the Tory manifesto.
I think the manifesto may look a lot like this:
The Program of the British Tory Party is designed to be of limited duration. The leaders have no intention, once the aims announced in it have been achieved, of establishing fresh ones, merely in order to increase, artificially, the discontent of the masses and so ensure the continued existence of the Party.
1. We demand the union of all Brits in a Greater Britain on the basis of the right of national self-determination.
2. We demand equality of rights for the British people in its dealings with other nations, and the revocation of the peace treaties of Brexit.
3. We demand land and territory (colonies) to feed our people and to settle our surplus population.
4. Only members of the nation may be citizens of the State. Only those of British blood, whatever their creed, may be members of the nation. Accordingly, no Johnny Foreigner may be a member of the nation.
5. Non-citizens may live in Britain only as guests and must be subject to laws for aliens.
6. The right to vote on the State’s government and legislation shall be enjoyed by the citizens of the State alone. We demand therefore that all official appointments, of whatever kind, whether in the parliament, in the counties or in the smaller localities, shall be held by none but citizens.
We oppose the corrupting parliamentary custom of filling posts merely in accordance with party considerations, and without reference to which private school you went to.
7. We demand that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens. If it should prove impossible to feed the entire population, foreign nationals (non-citizens) must be deported from the nation.
8. All non-British immigration must be prevented. We demand that all non-Brits who entered Britain after Brexit shall be required to leave the state forthwith.
9. All citizens shall have equal rights and duties - except the poor.
10. It must be the first duty of every citizen to perform physical or mental work. The activities of any non-private-schooled individual must not clash with the general interest, but must proceed within the framework of the community and be for the general good. Old boys from Eton will, of course, live tax free!
