Over the last week, our
Leeds Branch has been canvassing around the Beeston and Holbeck area of South Leeds constituency, asking people their attitudes towards society's major issues, and sharing our own. We presented over 70 people with the following statements, asking them whether they agreed or disagreed:
1. The economy is purposefully run in such a way to keep all the wealth in the hands of a few people.
2. The government should be actively protecting British industries and businesses, even if it means getting rid of the free market.
3. I don’t mind paying higher taxes to improve public services like the NHS, as long as they provide GOOD service and are value for money.
4. The main reason the NHS is constantly short on funds and staff is because those at higher levels don’t manage it properly and waste resources.
5. Immigration tends to make problems (like housing, poor public services, crime, tensions in the community) WORSE rather than better.
6. The foreign policies of the British government and the way they have impacted places like the Middle East are part of the reason why those people have to leave their home countries.
7. The British government should prioritise those who are already living here over anyone else.
The results we obtained showed that people overwhelmingly 'agreed' with ALL of them, on a scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The results will be published in full in December's Edition of
Rise Britannia. This is in an area with high levels of immigration, high levels of political apathy, and what you would call typical 'disenfranchised Labour voters'.
This ultimately proves what we have often said: that in these areas, the demand for a genuine alternative is highest, but the millions of people there aren't being offered one by any of the so-called 'alternative' parties, who take one look at a census and fear to tread there.
