UBI would allow workers to leave jobs where they are treated poorly without fear of going broke. This would incentivise companies to give fairer contracts and treat their employees better.

UBI would socialise wealth amoungst everyone in the country. Everyone would be able to buy food and nessessities as is there right as a human. The effects could be revolutionary and we could be one step closer to pure socialism.
IF everyone has a Universal basic income, whether through work or benefits it will give children opportunities as they will be further out f poverty. people who have lost jobs or are too sick to work will have a good standard of living

Universal Basic Income will vastly reduce the cost of providing benefits and provide a safety net for people who want to take risks in being more entreprneurial.

It will not discourage work as it would still not be enough to live off of alone, but it would reduce the stress of worrying about whether or not to can keep you family fed and warm.

People are struggling whether they are unemployed or employed full time so a means tested UBI could improve lives today and ensure a brighter future for coming generations.

Universal Basic Income provides a floor to lift yourself up, rather than a ceiling to stop you from doing that
Everyone needs an income, whether they are sick, elderly, young or otherwise. A basic income allows people to purchase life necessities. To many are already going without food, warmth and clothing. This past winter showed that many was having to choose between eating and heating as souring costs meant people was unable to buy them.
