Waters is a supporter of the Countryside Alliance and has played concerts to raise funds for the organisation. Waters claimed he left Britain due to the Hunting Act 2004:“I’ve become disenchanted with the political and philosophical atmosphere in England. The anti-hunting
bill was enough for me to leave England. I did what I could, I did a concert and one or two articles, but it made me feel ashamed to be English. I was in Hyde Park for both the Countryside Alliance marches. There were hundreds of thousands of us there. Good, honest English people. That’s one of the most divisive pieces of legislation we’ve ever had in Great Britain. It was disgusting.”
Waters opposes the barrier being built by Israel, calling it an "obscenity" that "should be torn down." In December 2009 he pledged his support to the Gaza Freedom March. Waters has voiced his opposition to Operation Iraqi Freedom and the War in Afghanistan (2001–present):
“The loss of a father is the central prop upon which stands. As the years go by, children lose their fathers again and again, for nothing. You see it now with all of these fathers, good men and true, who lost their lives and limbs in Iraq for no reason at all. I’ve done Bring the Boys Back Home in my encores on recent tours. It feels more relevant and poignant to be singing that song now than it did in 1979.”
