    Oops - two of Nige's kids have German citizenship and their mum is German. I'm not sure that meets his pure nationalist criteria, so it's off to Deutschland for them. Or possibly Rwanda.

    Switzerland? Apart from flying over it in a couple of hours time, I don’t know how OK it is, but it’s flag is a big plus.

    They may have the most sensible and realistic policies yet.
    Not yet, but I suspect it will talk about clean water, not relying on foreign companies for our energy, supporting those who need help and dealing with the scum at the top.
    Anglo-Saxon? Go back to Germany
    Norman? - go back to France.
    lift the ban on people working while they are being processed for settlement.
    Tax off-shore earnings.
    Tax “family” trusts used to evade inheritance tax.

    I realise that clean water is WOKE, but I am old enough to remember when we were a caring country, not full of hate.

    Grifters are gonna grift - Farage is out for Farage.

    Trouble is when you run from problems, eventually there is no where left to run. Originally when I first considered escaping I thought France but now they have the exact same problems we do. USA difficult to move to, and also huge problems in only the last 4 years.

    Perhaps its time to fight rather than flight?
    It sounds you are liable for UK tax.

    I'm not a socialist either.

    To be fair I didn't realise how mad some parties manifestos/contracts are especially on funding.

I wish I'd never started taking an interest in the election. It's mind bending to the casual observer :|
    Fiscal drag is apparently not a tax increase.

    There is a massive black hole so taxes are going up.

    Thanks to this forum I have found out a lot about Reform and the Greens. ​​​​
