I have no idea what those videos are saying (for some reason, YT is being funny these days and all your video links usually end up broken for me), but I am skeptical of the idea of a Reform "takeover"--unless by that they mean that Reform will win a higher vote share than the Tories, which is likely to happen. But this is going to be a landslide victory for Labour, even though nobody has any idea who Keir Starmer is or what he stands for.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's more like a takeover of the conservatives, who have shirked their ideological duty for several prime ministers.
ReplyDeleteIf you could see the videos, you'd see that Heaver shows graphs that clearly show Labour well in front, but with Reform ahead of the Tories.
Farage is an awful, awful man and his party are a bunch of avowed racists. I expect the Reform Party to get a lot of votes (primarily protest votes from disenchanted Tories), but I doubt that will translate into more than a handful of seats. He's just too incendiary to be palatable to the average man on the street.
ReplyDeleteTerms like "racist" and "bigot" are yawners at this point, tossed around by the left willy-nilly, draining the terms of any impact. This post is relevant.
ReplyDeleteWasn't the "average man on the street" responsible for Brexit? God bless the average man! There's nothing wrong with wanting to preserve your own culture. Note how Koreans—who are often at great pains to seem open and modern and globalized and politically correct—will immediately close ranks if a foreigner loudly criticizes the culture. This is a natural reflex. Sure, it can go too far, but it's an understandable urge.
So 4 million votes and 5 seats. As a friend of mine commented, privatised healthcare by the back door for the sake.of keeping Britain white. People dont understand the nuance of what they are voting for.
ReplyDeleteFor the moment, at least, Reform doesn't have much reach, so I wouldn't worry too much. The Agenda remains in place.
