The two opposition Russell Brand & Nigel Farage are discussing about if there is a problem with our immigration policys. Nigal Farage has a very right wing approach and blames the immigration's for all the problems faced by the country because of it. He says that because of the rapid increase in immigration's; primary schools would be full so there aren't enough places for other children, GPs would have longer queues for doctors, harder to get around places because of the high population. In addition, he states that because of immigrates, general life would get worse.
However, Russell Brand is saying that the very rich upper classes are the ones to blame. He takes a very left wing approach to his points. He talks about how the rich and powerful are the ones creating  the issues but they are pointing the fingers at immigrates. Furthermore, he says politician are corrupt and they are the ones creating the economic issue.

The two oppositions, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, were fighting to be President from 2017 to 2021. The two oppositions have two very different view on the future of U.S.A. Donald Trump is very right wing and believes that all businesses should stay in America. He also says that that same sex should be illegal. In this election he has said that he would build a wall so that Mexicans can't get through as they are bringing drugs and all the people they don't want to America. In addition, he says that he would make Mexico pay. He uses Twitter to express his feeling.

She actually got more individual votes but lost from the  Electoral College system.

My own power point, www: I had a handout that had good information that could intrigued the audience.
