Asking Reform voters about immigration

At the Reform UK Conference, supporters of Nigel Farage’s party share their unfiltered opinions on immigration, asylum seekers, and border policy. In this video, we speak directly to party members and activists to understand why immigration has become such a defining issue for Reform and what drives their support for the party’s controversial stance.

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has set out some of the most hardline policies on both legal and so-called “illegal” immigration in Britain. From calls to stop small boats in the Channel to proposals for harsher treatment of asylum seekers, Farage and his allies argue that tighter border controls are essential to protect Britain’s economy, culture, and security. Critics, however, describe these policies as extreme, divisive, and damaging to the UK’s international reputation.

In the video, Reform supporters outline why they back the party’s approach, echoing concerns about rising migration numbers, pressures on housing and public services, and Britain’s sovereignty over its borders. Their views highlight the growing tension in British politics between those demanding tougher restrictions and those who argue for a fairer, more humane system for refugees and migrants.

With immigration set to remain a central issue in UK politics, this video offers insight into how Reform UK is shaping the debate — and why Farage’s rhetoric continues to resonate with sections of the electorate.
