Which party would you join, and what changes would you want to see?
Momentum is incredibly important in politics; the individual can often feel like they're the only one holding certain beliefs and as such feel like there's no point 'risking' it by speaking up or helping out
The problem is, of course, that there could be thousands more people just like them with the same mindset. If only a few of them got out there and started engaging with people, things might be different. But again, they need to be highly motivated in order to get things going - that initial movement of the momentum
I really don't like to much attention 😬
"Vlaams Belang" is the party that asked me
come to think of it, John Cleese actually made a political ad back in the 90s that sums up this thinking
Always stand up for your beliefs, because sometimes, no one else will.
I think John Cleese pissed off alot of libdems by voting leave
Great man John Cleese absulutly liberalism, and a funny comeadain
I am anti-EU, anti- Islam (not anit muslims , different thing) , Pro Own culture Anti Imigration
```Always stand up for your beliefs, because sometimes-``` someone else will stand up for theirs, and their beliefs might be batshit insane. But they'll be the one the pollies listen to, because they're the only ones making any noise

(aniti immigration in the way we know it now in Belgium and Europe not far right wing ideolgy to be clear on that )
ayy
Well go for it Crypto
@Crypto MJM
Yeah, that's the far right party, i saw something about it
Guess a short documentary in French
the problem with third parties is becuase they lose (in a FPTP system) no one votes for them which sticks them in a cycle
the times third parties have sucseeded is when they have a dedicated grass roots
yeah.
skimming through it now
ukip is as about as untained as you can get wile not being part of the establishment
So, unless you are actually far right or want to be labeled as far right
But I belgium they call it far right because it is the most right party we have. But are centrum right wing party is a wolf in sheepskin. They make mean tweets , yell loud but if you see what they did in the last 8 years they done nothing what they said
If it’s like NMR it’s not even worth it
for the most part I think UKIP has avoided being labled fascist
Just join a moderate party
I guess it will be much better
agreed
moderate parties are against free speech
And easier to convince people
Just go for some anti-mig party lmao
mm. If you're young, focus on getting experience and your feet wet first
All moderate parties in Belgium are toxic , socialistic and corrupt as hell
things can change very quickly in politics
And you wouldn't want to go on to have success in the political realm, influencing people to your beliefs, and be on the verge of creating significant change in your country
Only for someone to dredge up something like "X used to be a member of the Y party!"
I say this as a massive poltics nerd, UKIP is in the perfect possition to be hollowed out and made into what ever you wanted it to be
you just need grass roots effort
I am 30 years so not that young. But I am not really afraid of being called far right because everybody who dares to go against EU is called far right
