Why would anyone want more than one username? And why would it matter to anyone else?"
Presumably because the perception of some on here is that arguments/debates are strengthened or won by the number of posters who support or like a particular side of a debate. Often you see a poster using perceived support for their opinion as a sign that the other poster with an opposing view is out of touch, when the reality is that there is only two people having the discussion the whole time."]Is that something that bothers you? In my experience the more people agree with something the less likely it is to be correct."]" Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong."

Does anyone else here feel that a failure by successive Governments across the EU and UK to openly discuss without recriminations and actively deal with excessive immigration, has helped a more aggressive right wing movement to emerge all over Europe?

In Ireland, all current Parties in Dail Eireann have over the last 10-20 years become Center left or left leaning, leaving no Center right options for voters, which worryingly is allowing new groups to fill that void, some with more extreme views.
- Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have no longer got any distinguished principles that set them apart.
- Sinn Fein are clearly left, but don't seem sure what they represent, like they change with the wind if they think it will get more votes.
- Progressive Democrats and Labour are both just Coalition fillers if Independents can't prop up a government, but again all left leaning policies, no ambition to offer something different.
- Aontu have a very capable leader, but they just don't have the numbers and look a long way from having the numbers.

I would be concerned at more extreme right wing politics getting in due to no moderate Center right alternative options for voters, and also I think the current parties need to listen to concerns of ordinary people on matters of immigration, hold open transparent debates and Iron out facts from myths and go from there.
