Recent polling from HOPE not Hate has revealed troubling views among members of Reform UK regarding immigration and citizenship. The report indicates that over half of the party's supporters believe that non-white British citizens born abroad should either be forcibly removed or encouraged to leave the UK. This stark contrast in sentiment is particularly alarming when compared to the significantly lower percentage of those who hold similar views towards white British citizens, signaling an underlying racial bias that appears to influence opinions on immigration policies within the party.

The findings show that 54% of Reform UK members think non-white British citizens from abroad should be removed, sharply contrasting with only 24% who feel the same about white British citizens. Furthermore, the report indicates that there’s a notable disparity regarding the citizenship status of individuals based on their parents' birthplace. For example, 22% of respondents believe non-white British citizens whose parents were born in the UK should be forcibly removed, while only 7% feel the same about their white counterparts. These statistics raise serious concerns about the attitudes towards race and ethnicity among supporters of the Reform party.

The implications of such views extend beyond mere opinion; they suggest a troubling trend within a significant political demographic that prioritizes racial identity over nationality in discussions of citizenship and immigration. As these views gain traction, they pose potential challenges for broader social cohesion and inclusivity within the UK. The findings call for critical engagement with these perspectives to foster a more inclusive dialogue about what it means to be British in a multicultural society.
