William Clouston discusses the SDP's general election campaign on the Freeman Report

"When you start thinking of Britain as a home - a place that you cherish - you want to protect it."
Two weeks before the general election, William Clouston talks to James Freeman on TNT Radio about the SDP's manifesto 'Homecoming', the poor quality of the establishment parties' campaigns, and the SDP's election pact with Reform UK.

We need this party in Northern Ireland.

My constituency is Brighton Pav. Will def. be voting SDP there. All the best!

Excellent interview. Shame on the mainstream media for not giving the SDP air time. As William Clouston said the SDP policies are actually things that most people support.

[@jonathanj.7344]

That's one big reason why they're not given airtime.

[@pwcfuster]

Excellent.

I'm definetly voting SDP on July 4th!.... that is if you were standing in my constituency, as I've begged for months!

[@jonathanj.7344]

SDP would be my fist choice. I like the traditionalist/ British culture social policies combined with the mixed economy/ nationalised utilities economic policies. That's what I believe in. Unfortunately, we don't have a candidate here in E. Cornwall so it will have to be my second choice, Reform.

[@barriewood9336]

That makes no sense at all. You like a social democratic offering but as they are not standing you will go full on with a Thatcherite alternative!

[@nowherepeople3431]

@@barriewood9336no it makes perfect sense because our primary concern is immigration. SDP has the best policy on this but Reform a close second if no SDP candidates available. If we don’t tackle this issue everything else will suffer.
We also need to break up the corrupt two party system.

What is the SDP position on illegal migration?

[@SocialDemocraticParty]

All unsolicited asylum applications via breaches of the UK border will be declined. They will result in immediate repatriation or detention offshore within British Overseas Territories until repatriation can be arranged. The UK will contribute to humanitarian resettlement of genuine refugees by offering 20,000 refugee visas annually to carefully vetted families with children in UN refugee camps or near major conflict zones. We will withdraw from the 1951 UN refugee convention, the ECHR and all other international instruments which deny UK border sovereignty. We will promote a new set of international agreements on refugee rights which are fit for purpose, protect genuine refugees and do not facilitate people trafficking and illegality. sdp.org.uk/policies/immigration/

Well-meaning but, sadly quite ineffectual. The UK is the loser.
