you believe the opposition's policy is worse, you can vote accordingly. You do not have to agree completely with any political party. You are allowed to make your own judgement. That is democracy. ## Campaign peacefully There are many ways to campaign. Write letters. Attend public meetings. Join a political party. Support a campaign organisation. Write articles. Speak to your local councillor. Attend peaceful demonstrations. Use social media. Talk to other people. But keep the argument about policy. That is where your strongest case lies. ## Don't let anger choose your words This is particularly important. If you want people to listen to your argument, do not give them an excuse to dismiss it. Calling everybody a criminal will not help. Blaming an entire religion will not help. Attacking people personally will not help. Threatening people certainly will not help. A strong argument does not need any of those things. Say what you believe. Explain why. Give evidence. Then let people decide. ## Don't become part of the problem There is another temptation when people become frustrated. They start thinking: ?If the Government won't do anything, perhaps ordinary people should.? That is a dangerous road. Citizens should not try to become an unofficial border force. They should not interfere with boats. They should not attack migrants. They should not threaten accommodation centres. They should not target people because of their nationality or religion. If you believe the Government is failing, challenge the Government. That is what democracy is for. ## Use your anger constructively Anger itself is not necessarily bad. It can tell you that something matters to you. The important question is what you do with it. You can turn anger into research. You can turn it into political campaigning. You can turn it into writing. You can turn it into voting. You can turn it into peaceful protest. Or you can allow it to turn into something destructive. The first four can change policy. The last one can destroy lives and make the original problem harder to solve. ## Talk to people you disagree with This may be the hardest suggestion in the whole book. Talk to people who disagree with you. Not because you have to change your mind. And not because they necessarily have the right answer. But because you may discover that you agree about more than you expected. One person may want stronger border controls. Another may be primarily concerned about protecting refugees. They may disagree about the solution. But both may agree that people-smuggling gangs should be stopped. Both may agree that asylum decisions should be made quickly. Both may agree that criminals should be prosecuted. Both may agree that people should not be attacked because of their religion or nationality. Finding common ground does not weaken an argument. It can strengthen it. ## The ordinary citizen has power The British public sometimes feels powerless. One person thinks: ?What difference can I possibly make?? But democracy is built from millions of people making small decisions. One vote. One letter. One conversation. One article. One campaign. One question to an MP. One peaceful protest. One election. That is how political pressure works. ## The final choice If you believe Britain needs a different immigration policy, you have every right to say so. Say it loudly. Say it clearly. Say it repeatedly. But say it **lawfully**. Because if this book has one message above all others, it is this: **You do not need violence to demand change.** You need facts. You need persistence. You need courage. And you need democracy. The people who want Britain
