This is what 14 Years of Spending Cuts gets You

Ah, that's okay it's making gains in inclusion. That's what matters most. Rainbow coloured cars and taking the knee over something that happened in the states.

The Met can't be failing in the virtuous stakes.

It also doesn't help when your own mayor is telling you that crime is part and parcel of city life, and have a labour council advising you to hand over your possessions if you're ever mugged in London. 

It wasn't an issue because EVERY party said they would reduce it . They shut down the debate and every party elected since has promised the same and failed to deliver .  So we have to assume its an all party policy to keep immigration high against the wishes of the British people .

And you wonder why people turn to the right ?

It matters little if immigration was a 'key' issue all that matters is what did the manifestoes say would be done about immigration. It is one of the reasons the BNP got over half a  million votes in 2010 as they stated clearly what would happen, so all the other parties had to state clearly how they would reduce and control immigration in order to take potential votes from the BNP. It turns out these manifestoes were just so much garbage. Part of the lying campaign against the BNP was the 2009 EHRC report on the allocation of social housing to immigrants which 'found no evidence' of preference but ignored the main factor in deciding that of what allocations went to whom. As a piece of statistical bunkum it did not try to disguise its nonsensical findings but the MSM heralded its conclusions with alacrity over the main headlines. That was straightforward government propaganda that the MSM participated in wholeheartedly and directly lied to the electorate. Too open and too often leads to unrest.

I genuinely try to vote for whichever candidate in my constituency I feel best addresses the needs of the constituency.

There are only two times I have not; the time I voted BNP (I knew they couldn't get in, but I'd rather register a protest vote than no vote at all); and this last vote where I voted Labour, because our Tory candidate had done bugger all for the constituency, and I felt it more important to get the Tories out (and this is a close run constituency between Lab and Tory).

Would I vote for Reform? If I felt they expressed the best interests of the constituency I would.
Same for the Greens.
Based on how things were at the last local elections I might be persuaded to opt for the Greens next time around.

But then who knows, my political views may have shifted by then; I am not wedded to a particular political ideology.
I just opt for who I think is offering the best solutions for the problems at the time.


All The Best

In principle not a bad idea.
The devil is in the details though, and it depends entirely on how points are accrued.

Of course the real problem is the real shot-callers definitely don't want higher wages and higher employment; both of those eat into profit margins.
