Why Anthony is Standing for Parliament

Anthony New is running for parliament driven by his frustration with the mismanagement of Broken Britain. He is determined to see a comprehensive reform of the government, which he believes is currently ineffective and detached from the needs of ordinary citizens. He criticizes the political system for being controlled by an elite managerial class that disregards the real concerns of the public. Anthony believes that only a political revolution, led by Reform UK, can address these issues effectively.

Immigration Policy

Britain has a proud history of welcoming people from diverse backgrounds, enriching the nation culturally and economically. However, recent years have seen an unprecedented surge in immigration, with over one million new arrivals last year alone and more expected this year. This rapid increase has outpaced the country's ability to provide adequate housing and healthcare services. The current system is overwhelmed, and the government has not kept up with the demand for new homes or healthcare professionals. Anthony New advocates for reducing annual immigration from one million to a few thousand, a policy only supported by Reform UK, as other parties are content with the status quo.

Taxation

Under both the Tory and Labour governments, taxation has reached historic levels, affecting everyone from adults paying for energy to children facing VAT on sweets, retirees dealing with taxes on pensions, and estates burdened by inheritance tax. Anthony New argues that high taxation is a consequence of excessive government intervention and inefficiency. He believes that to reduce taxes, the government must cut its size and spending by reducing the number of civil servants, departments, and quangos. Reform UK is the only party committed to this reduction, whereas others continue to support a bloated state.

Addressing Broken Britain

Anthony New recognizes the many issues plaguing Broken Britain and emphasizes that true reform is needed to address these problems. He argues that other parties are content with superficial changes and lack the will to implement meaningful reform. Anthony urges voters to move beyond traditional party loyalties and choose a party that genuinely seeks transformative change. He believes that Reform UK is the only party capable of delivering the necessary reforms, and he encourages voters to support them for real, substantive change.
