I believe we need to ask why does he ‘support’
this or any political party.
Has his patriotism made him believe that stronger immigration laws would help preserve
the England he once knew, real or imagined ?
Or maybe he feels that if a person like Anne Marie Waters is involved then there would be put into law more protection and rights for animals? which as we all know, he feels very strongly about.
Morrissey is contrary, let’s remember his official support for Sanders, Perot and his anti-Trump stance. So his ‘support’ for For Britain may change tomorrow.
Let’s not forget that Morrissey is human, a person, like all, can be misinformed, or feel so strongly about certain subjects, that he may not see the whole picture or in his passion just not care as much, especially when it comes to the rights of animals. If you don’t care about animal rights, then you may have trouble understanding this/his perspective.
Personally, I wish he wouldn’t ‘support ‘ any political party or politician. I don’t believe that’s where change begins, and I have yet to see any proof of any politician really caring about people and this planet.
Morrissey is also an artist, led by his heart his emotions, he may not always make the best choices. And too stubborn to change his opinions publicly even if he knows that he may be wrong and is sabotaging himself.
In 2018, for the first time since becoming a pop star in the early 1980s, Morrissey decided to publicly endorse a political party (For Britain). Whether they are 'far right' or not is up for debate but they are clearly a right-wing party. Their manifesto includes aims to reduce tax for the rich (e.g. abolish inheritance tax completely), increase spending on the military, abolish all green taxes, and keep immigration to a bare minimum.
Has this affected your view on him, and the likelihood of you seeing him live again, buying new releases etc?
