Well, you’d expect Great Yarmouth to show support for Rupert but it’s a double-edged sword. With the pro Rupert people resigning but with Yusuf Reform still intact and well funded, then there’s an electoral hole … Yusuf Reform runs a “centrist” LibDem type as Reform candidate, new party runs Rupert … Uniparty is in.
One thing Farage is good at is promotion for whomever he’s supporting, at “building membership”. With the greatest will in the world, neither Rupert nor Andrew have that acumen. Am I therefore for the mendacious dissembler Farage, who’s wrecked three parties so far … which may or may not have been his intention?
Not in the least but please look at realpolitik and what all players are after, each and every one. The Tories are part of that. The game is set up to return Uniparty red or blue, with maybe yellow north of the border. Farage has said that to be in power, they must carry the centre ground. In his eyes, that’s LibDem or Tory wet. As M25 bubble, he’s perfectly happy with that … hence he lost the north of England at the old UKIP, after the Euro triumph.
But the elephant in the room, aside from climate bollox or the deathjab, or inheritance or winter fuel … is the boats, us being overrun, whilst mass deportations start in the US and many here approve.
The Reform political players and supporters say … look, we were on a roll, we need the centre ground, even if it means compromising with anti deporters.
Reform purists say no way … however it’s currently rigged in Westminster, to support people who support the grooming and rape gangs, to support taxpayer subsidised invaders, to send troops to the Ukraine whilst here, in cushy accommodation at taxpayer expense … that’s simply not morally on.
This last lot ask … is Reform about just gaining power … or is it about principle? If the latter, who emerges as a leader? I like Rupert a lot … but can he carry a nation to vote some new party of loose allies?
Hmmmm … I’m saying there’s no obvious solution to this.

ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems like they want to keep it that way, everywhere.
I used to think that one man cannot change the way things are done but history says I'm wrong. Apart from the obvious examples, a reading of Martin Luther's life is an exemplar of how one man with God supporting him can change the world, despite overwhelming obstacles. He had the Papacy and all the kings, princes and electors against him yet without any violence on his part he prevailed against them all.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, when God decides that the time is right, He will provide the man, who will probably be the least expected candidate, not the bombastic or the popular.
Americans lurched away from their version of the uniparty when DJT stepped onto the stage. So, yes one person at the right time can make the difference. He set out his stall and for the most part stuck to it, no backsliding and no courting votes from the 'enemy'.
