Nigel Farage promising “the biggest political change this country has ever seen”

1. >Reform could win up to 76 seats from Labour if an election were held now

   This would make Reform the 3rd largest party by seats, replacing the Liberal Democrats, who (of all parties that stand nationally) have come in third place since their inception in 1992, and including their predecessor the Liberal party, since 1945.

2. It’s just going to be like Meloni in Italy all over again where they were called “far-right” by the liberal media because they promised a massive deportion of non-EU immigrants but when they got elected they bought millions of immigrants instead of deporting them.

   You can’t fight against an In̶v̶a̶s̶i̶o̶n̶ immigration without abolishing capitalism first.

3. >he would never judge anyone “by their colour, religion, sexual preference or gender”. He said “something extraordinary was happening out there” in the country. Reform, a new political party which until recently had no representation in parliament and no proper organisation or infrastructure, had polled “ahead of the Tories in seven consecutive polls” and was just behind Labour. Like a political seismologist alert to what was coming, he predicted an earthquake: “the biggest political change this country has ever seen”.

   promising to not be racist or homophobic (while his base is here for exactly that ) whilst promising nothing but wild hyperbole.

   it’ll need more than that

4. Hey, y’all notice how Trump can just blatantly lie, right to a reporter’s face, and nobody ever calls him out on it or even blinks? He can do that now because Farage got away with blatantly lying throughout Brexit. the fact that, even after he was demonstrated to be 100% full of crap, nobody physically picked him up & threw him out of the country (maybe off Dover) is stunning.

5. This article mentions Badenoch lying about Reform’s membership numbers, but makes no mention of verifying that that even was a lie.

   After all, Reform did run candidates that either didn’t exist, or were from completely different areas of the UK and didn’t campaign or even show up anywhere close. If they’ll do that with candidates, why wouldn’t they do that with members??

6. >the biggest political change this country has ever seen 

   Even by the standards of far-right populists, this is an impressive level of historical ignorance. 

7. Last time he promised stuff we all got brexit to deal with. We all saw that the brexiteers were all lying about pretty much all aspects of that.

   And people actually wanna vote for this guy? Brits most really hate themselves for them to do t themselves AGAIN.
