What is “the right” anyway? Does it not mean today the dissidents unhappy with the country being sold down the river? There are two words which I find useful in understanding what “we” are … “unherdable cats” (first saw it at Orphans in 2012) and “ragtag”, as in Lord of the Rings … it suggests people from all walks, from former Conservatives (dries) to former Old Labour. UKIP used to have that.
A wise man I call MMutR* has said for decades now that we’re so disparate that we’re always going to fall out over this point or that … thus we keep it to two or three points in a manifesto and leave off with the others. For the moment.
Come election time … council through to GE, we look, within each constituency, at who embraces these key points within the candidates and then all of our thinking on these key points get behind this local, e.g. UKIP, Homeland, Heritage, whatever, and get that person elected. The whole point is backsides on benches at Westminster or at council meetings.
We’re currently fixating on Party because that’s how the Red Blue Yellow Green and now Light Blue Uniparty stays in power … we have numbers out here but not inside Westminster … we can never make a Party, which requires massive funding, but we can certainly watch constituencies, see what talent there is and promote it … as long as we don’t try to “combine into one party under, say, a Farage”.
This is far more in line with what we have available (hint … it’s not money), plus realising that the enemy is seeking to shut down, incarcerate us with deathculters in prison, silence us in the open, e.g. at rallies. I’m suggesting that those things are impractical for most people either aged, with family, whatever … we’re easy targets for funded and organised thugs the Uniparty sends out there.
Silently, anonymously, seems the way the 80% or 52%, whatever, can do it … irregular tactics. I’m suggesting, Laze and Gem, that we start thinking this through, then act consistently within what we agree.

It's come to the point for me that whenever I see Mr Farage, I see the word Mirage. I'm sorry to say that I have begun to think of him as a mirage. What you see isn't what you'll get.
ReplyDeleteHe always gave me the impression of being a used car salesman. That hasn't changed and I definitely wouldn't buy anything he's selling.
DeleteIn just over four years there will be a general election and Reform would need to win Farage will be 65?. How long will it take to repeal the laws you want removing and replace them. Will the house of Lords need to be replaced almost certainly. Expectations need to be managed, the elections need to be won.
