@@teresabelshaw4262 Because Cons and Labour and the civil service are the same thing taken over and run by people who are using democracy to do what they want with our lives. Democracy should be about us getting what we want - that's the idea. In the last 40 years we have had our public owned utilities sold off, mass immigration, or country handed to the EU, mass unemployment, home ownership unaffordable, net zero. Would the people vote for these things at referendum? No! So, they're not working for us.
And that's the kind of thing focus grouping here in the US by former Republican operative and now emphatic Trump opponent Heather Longwell is showing; the perception is that, in her words, Trump is more "moderate" than other Republicans. It's entirely about optics of course -- people think that communication ability and charm equals policy, and the media -- and the US is worse on this point -- leaves people in that misconception because they never talk about policy or actions, just about PR and the horserace.
Reform will get a lot higher percentage of the Labour vote than people realize, solely because their police are more pro working class than Labour, and when it comes down to it that's what people care about. It won't show that in the opinion polls though, because of propaganda like this. When you demonize views as unpolitically correct, most people just keep them to themselves and only express them secretly on election day.
In fairness though: Even the major moderate parties with enormous resources regularly fail to vet their candidates for crazy and questionable views. So a smaller, newer, more radical party on a tight deadline will inevitably have the same problem.
@harrypainter7472 why do they keep attracting those types? There aren't many people loudly praising Hitler in the other major parties. Why does this keep happening? How would you expect them to govern and choose ministers if this is how they choose candidates?
They don't appreciate it's Time for a change. Reform UK states facts, figures and common sense. They just aren't getting it. Look forward to a shock on the 4th. UK first, Globalism second. Vote Reform UK
Agreed. The other major parties are attempting to slander Reform and this won't work. The Conservatives are history, Labour is winning this election but on the opposite side of the bench it will be Reform, and I have to say, the most sensible and logical things I am hearing are coming from Reform.
Why would anyone vote Reform unless they were very wealthy? Tax breaks for school fees, tax breaks for private health insurance, removal of inheritance tax, capital gains, stamp duty - all benefits for the wealthy at the expense of public services. Then there's the removal of human rights regulations, catastrophic environmental policies. Any working class Reform voters are being stitched up and they are too ill informed to realise it.
What about the persecution of the Post Office managers, hard-working, self-reliant people, who might well have naturally been conservatives? Or the persecution of people who gave up their careers to care for disabled relatives?
The quip about our monarch, that he is 'under the control of global elites' happens to hold water. Charles gave a grand speech at a WEF (World Economic Forum) gathering on behalf of the British public (though unelected) showing great political interest in their programmes. He equally showed unprecedented nonchalance and lack of interest when he gave the King's Speech at the opening of Parliament, suggesting that his own national govt was of less interest to him. This behaviour is a far departure from Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth was clever enough to never say anything except her anodyne Christmas speech. But she allowed her son, the obvious next monarch, to go off to Davos and join in the WEF meetings.
The working class aren’t for the working class anymore. Everyone’s in it for themselves and many are too uninformed to make a decision in their own best interest. Brexit being a perfect example.
So right. I agree ..the Times pollster will be calling Hitler, Himmler and Stalin normal soon! Yikes! These two should be shown photographs and film of the Fascist's crimes - in Spain, and by the German Nazis, and by Stalin.... normal????
@@lewis123417 Facism is defined as: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. A tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control. Reform are showing quite a few simlarities, even Farage just sacking Tice shows how authoritarian Farage is and how Reform simply accommodated it.
In Canada after the PC collapse, the radical right Reformers (not all of course, some were quite moderate like Jan Brown and Keith Martin) eventually became the mainstream. The same could easily happen in the UK.
That's what's already happening, yet the mainstream are trying to spin it pretending like that's not what's happening. based on the current trends, if not this election, next election Farage will be PM.
And what we are seeing with the Conservative party is a party that has no platform other than the Libs are bad. I have not seen any manifesto to lower the cost of living or housing crisis. Our media is complicit in this sort of boosting change of government without any clarity of what the opposition is offering.
A Reform candidate says 'Hitler inspired people.' How true. An Uncle on my mother's side shot down 13 Hitler inspired Nazi planes before he was shot down by another Hitler inspired plane. My beloved mother died a terrible death at least partly from a Hitler inspired war in December 1944. Another Uncle lost his leg in Italy from Hitler's inspired tanks. Another was tail-gunner on a Lancaster bombing Germans from the Hitler inspired war. Another fought in Burma against the Hitler inspired ally of Germany--loved India swore his life on the Ghurkas. My Father ran the Steam Trains through the Blitz many times nearly killed by Hitler's inspired bombs & fire. (Ran over three bombs sabotaged by the German workers,) My Steam Engine Driver was in the Dunkirk reguard then walked across France to get out fight in the 8th Army with Big Sam became a Driver also in Didcot.) If D-Day could be called back Fascist Toad Farage will be shooting UK & Allied soldiers down in ecstasy with all his Reform buddies. Who wants to vote for Nazi German's future from 1939 to 45?
Thanks for sharing this perspective. We're all thankful for your family's sacrifice and we all owe a debt to them and those factory workers' sabotage. We owe it to them to remember what happened when fascists took power back then.
They would argue that the mistake wasn’t his policies, but his decision to invade other nations. What Reform wants is a isolationist Britain where we are inspired by those policies, but keep it within our borders, a Britain where everyone looks a certain way and thinks a certain way, and we keep everyone else out.
Nigel Farage is one of the most patriotic people in this country and would support the memory of all your family who fought or contributed in the wars. He raises money for veterans and attends D-Day commemorations EVERY year, not just when dignitaries attend. He would have led the charge against Hitler if it was the 1940s. His politics are akin to Mrs Thatcher's which are right-of-centre politics. He is given horrible labels because he wants to tackle the high levels of unsustainable immigration, which Labour will have to do once in power. He is also hated because of Europe issue but his stance is the same as the people like the late Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn (who had to 'change' his years old position because he was the Labour leader). Watch old GB News programs of which he presented - he is vastly different than what elite politicians and media types paint him as.
Nobody should ignore Reform. The next ten years could well be more austerity. More and more people may become homeless and/or using food banks. There will be Farage in "peoples kitchens" handing out food and necessities. Far fetched? As a literal description possibly, as a metophor I would not bet against it.
Maligning Nigel sounds of desperation, Vote Reform, the Conservatives has proved they have no intention of stopping the invasion. Labour have said they want more migrants, If you want your Country back, vote Reform.
I’m thinking of placing a consolation bet on farage as next pm.. he’s downplaying what they can achieve in this election, like he did for the brexit vote. It’s a tactic to get the voters to squander their vote to give established parties a bloody nose. I’m really worried that this country will be like V for Vendetta in a few years. Farage is a deeply worrying individual.
@@Pietzu10yeah, I mean Putin gets circa 15% in opinion polls in the UK. I don't think that an out of context quote from a candidate about Assad is going to prevent Reform UK getting 20%. Meanwhile you have the same people who think Assad is basically Satan running around calling MBS a progressive.

I do believe hanna is rather disconnected from a lot of what ordinary people think and feel. She was incredulous that huge amounts of the population could think like Nigel farage. I’m absolutely not a fan of his but when people feel beaten down and have been so manipulated, it’s easy to see how the far right are on the rise generally. Not everyone has an easy life out there hanna.
Yes, this. I'm well educated and a moderate/centrist left voter, but the level of snobbery and dismissal towards Farage (a kind of "we are smart, we know best, we are the voice of reason, Reform voters are stupid and racist") - is high, but also wrong, as many support his party and needs to be taken seriously.
The "well educated" I know are very interested in The Reform Party. They see parallels to the Thatcherite years in policies and opportunities, which also excited the working classes.
@@MikePhillips-pl6ov I’ve been saying for over a decade that the left desperately need to have a reasonable debate about the pros and cons of different immigration policies. But they just keep doubling down on _“Immigration is good. Disagreement is bigotry.”_ And populist nationalists just keep winning more support because of that.
She reminds me of a lot of US Democrats in 2015. Quite complacent. I was warning that I felt Trump could find a way to the GOP Nomination, which was possible because the other Republican candidates were so unappealing, and then that he could win it all partly because the Democratic brand was in such poor shape and Hillary getting such horrible press coverage, and people just looked at me as if I belonged in a rubber room. But I've spent probably the majority of my life living in the UK among future Brexit voters and then in the US among future Trump voters. Most of these journos have a very urban bubble.
"...but when people feel beaten down and have been so manipulated..." Yes, they were manipulated with false promises into voting for Brexit, and have been beaten down by the consequences of Brexit's economic sanctions.

I think this could be a possibility. While the polls would have to be insanely wrong for the Tories to win, it is perfectly possible that they are wrong in underestimating the Tories and overestimating Labour and Reform UK. And so Labour's actual lead may not be as big as it appears. And since we know many on the left don't like Starmer there is the danger some voters could leak away since these voters think the Tories are definitely finished. Also, if you're a left winger that doesn't like New Labour style Labour politics why would you want Starmer's Labour to win a massive majority?

@@BattleDrunk unfortunately it’s quite the opposite. Read a book, or ten, if you’re mentally capable. Then try to learn to think critically, rather than just believing everything you’re spoon-fed from GB news and the Daily Mail.
Let's not be naive. He's switching from Tory to Labour because he wants a peerage. He's giving money to whomever he think can give him something in return. Labour and Tory and their associate media fanboys (incl New Statesman, Spectator) are desperately attacking Farage because he represents a genuine threat to their uniparty system and he is saying the things that a significant portion of the electorate are actually concerned about. You can either continue attack him or you *could* try addressing those concerns. Heaven forbid anyone would try to fix the cause, rather than attack the symptoms.
I find it amazing that after the Tory lurch to the Right completely wrecked many aspects of the UK, people are even contemplating voting for a party even further to the Right. Don't people have any concept of cause and effect?
It's because if you look at Reform's manifesto - just like UKIP in the past who proposed a form of UBI - their economic policies actually borrow from the left as well as the right. So, a decent amount of the pie in the sky revenue that Reform claim they could bring in is essentially from the very wealthy, for example. But also, their immigration pitch also borrows from the left: claiming to be the ones who will defend poorer communities from the effects of an influx of low skilled labour; which historically is the thing that the right wing loved most about immigration. Things are never as black and white as it gets written or talked about. It's currently in vogue to describe being against large scale immigration as right wing for social reasons, when 40 years ago it was regularly left wing for economic reasons. Libertarians can be from the left or the right wing, but currently they get framed as right wing because the people talking about them concentrate on their economic policies rather than looking at their social policies. Almost everyone is right wing in some aspects, and left wing in others. Farage's parties have always tried to capitalise on this by picking and choosing policies from all across the spectrum in order to entice as many different people as possible. It's a common tactic of populists. Look at how Johnson got such a large margin of victory last election: it was by being more economically centrist in his promises.
The 'collapse' of the Tory party is just a fiction. Reform UK will be the Tory Party but worse and they will have washed off all of the blame for the last 14 years....
Really? Care to name some of them? Because we have the names of the people on the right who praise Hitler and Mussolini? In all truth, the argument that leftists support Stalin and Lenin largely falls over because of the intense secrecy to which the USSR was subject. The true depths of the atrocities of Stalin and Lenin are far better known now than they were at the time. By contrast, the depth of the Nazi atrocities came to light much quicker. I think you'll struggle to find modern day leftists - even on what you might consider the "far left" (something that barely even exists here) still praising Stalin.
Extremists, whether on the Left or the Right, are to be avoided equally. Both Labour and the Conservatives now have a tendency to accept extremists into their membership. Why?
Nigel Farage's divisive rhetoric which many perceive as promoting fascist and racist ideologies should not be given a platform that amplifies his message. By continually discussing him, the media risks legitimizing his views and potentially influencing public opinion in a negative direction. I urge for a reconsideration of the media's approach to covering Farage. It is crucial that we do not repeat past mistakes (media helping Trump 2016 campaign) and instead focus on constructive and balanced reporting that fosters informed public discourse.
Why is it 'offensive' to point out that immigration is unsustainably high, or speak the truth about the origins of the Ukraine war? These things are only 'offensive' to people who are unacquainted with the facts - or so ideologically committed to the official narrative that they cannot accept any other view.
The undeniable truth is that everything is getting busier, more traffic on the roads, more queues in the shops, more overflowing bins. Have you seen Bournemouth beach recently on a sunny day,? good luck finding a parking space that's all I can say. It doesn't take a genius to realise that quality of life is going down for the majority of people as the population reaches new heights literally day by day. It actually isn't mentioned enough that we are a relatively small country with a large population relative to size already. Do we really want less countryside and wild places as more and more houses, hospitals, roads etc need to be built in our constant attempts to keep up with mass immigration only for more people to come in the following year all over again. The UK already has the highest population it has ever had in its entire history, if you have kids that will grow up here you should be concerned about this.
Problem for reform is their vote is all over the place. So lib Dems can poll much less and get many more MPs. He'll never get the ticket for PM unless he got double the votes. But we all know that's not his plan and he'll try and get on the Tory ticket if he can. But maybe less easy if there are only one nation conservatives left
That’s a difference of electoral strategy arising from LibDem bitter experience of FPTP reality, vs Reform desperate to prove they are a “national force” and not just Farage plus a motley crew of anti vax cranks, Essex Brexiteers and former NF boot-boys. The LDs are concentrating on about 150 seats, many of them in the “blue wall” Home Counties (I live in one - the Lib Dem presence is very visible in what has been a Tory seat forever, while the Tories seem to be in hiding). So Reform may have 18% spread over 600+ constituencies, but the LDs 14% is much more concentrated in fewer than half of that. In FPTP its seats that count, not votes.
I love reform we are voting for Farage not the candidates it’s a presidential system always has been! the average voter doesn’t know who their MP is they vote for the leader
Reform has a ceiling of 20%? Are you not looking at similar movements across the world? The US, France, Italy, Germany, to name but a few. There is no ceiling, Farage it’s quite open that he wants to find a young protege like Jordan Bardella in RN.
"Are you not looking at similar movements across the world? The US, France, Italy, Germany, to name but a few." The US, for example, has a similar movement in the Republican Party, which already has a well-established base. Reform UK has zero MPs - it has a steep climb ahead.
@@redlightmax reform is basically the tea party movement that co-opted the Republican Party. Given how many of the conservatives likely to survive are already making overtures to bring Farage in, I don’t think seeing the conservatives going that way is unlikely. Only 20 left with the consciences intact when Johnson was in charge. The ones that remain are cowards with zero fight. They will do anything for power.
The Heritage Foundation and the like, or more correctly the people who fund them. Mostly very far right multi-millionaires and billionaires, some from the US and other countries. One change Labour could make that would massively help to clean up British politics is to ban foreign donations to think tanks and lobby groups and ban any group that won't publicly publish it's sources of funding from TV channels or from any kind of lobbying activity.
@@andrewmarriott7970 they may be lobbied more now as they are obviously going to be the next party in power. I do agree in principle though, Labour can be dodgy as well so there needs to be an I formed electorate holding their feet to the fire. I do think it matters who is doing the lobbying as well. Charities, NGOs and Trade Unions are not nearly as corrosive as dark money think tanks and dodgy billionaires
I'm Danish. About 25 years ago The Danish Peoples Party (heavily right wing and anti-muslim) was what Reform UK are now. It took one or two elections to get rid of the "weird" party members and make the party "presentable" to the public. So it can be done and Nigel Farage resembles Pia Kjærsgaard (the long time leader of The DPP). So watch out people in the UK! Edit: After the election in 2015 The DPP had 21.1% and was the second largest party in Denmark, so it's highly likely that Reform UK can reach these numbers. After that it went downhill for DPP and now it's the smallest. Two parties went further to the right, so watch for those.

True. A Twitter poster said that she agreed with Reform policies but was not right wing. They do not see themselves as others do.
Same with labour and the left. They see themselves as honest and for the oppressed. Everyone else sees them for what they are.
And that's the kind of thing focus grouping here in the US by former Republican operative and now emphatic Trump opponent Heather Longwell is showing; the perception is that, in her words, Trump is more "moderate" than other Republicans. It's entirely about optics of course -- people think that communication ability and charm equals policy, and the media -- and the US is worse on this point -- leaves people in that misconception because they never talk about policy or actions, just about PR and the horserace.
@@danielbliss1988do you mean Sarah Longwell of Republicans Against Trump?
Reform will get a lot higher percentage of the Labour vote than people realize, solely because their police are more pro working class than Labour, and when it comes down to it that's what people care about.

Agreed. The other major parties are attempting to slander Reform and this won't work. The Conservatives are history, Labour is winning this election but on the opposite side of the bench it will be Reform, and I have to say, the most sensible and logical things I am hearing are coming from Reform.
Why would anyone vote Reform unless they were very wealthy? Tax breaks for school fees, tax breaks for private health insurance, removal of inheritance tax, capital gains, stamp duty - all benefits for the wealthy at the expense of public services. Then there's the removal of human rights regulations, catastrophic environmental policies. Any working class Reform voters are being stitched up and they are too ill informed to realise it.
Who cares when some billionare jumps ship and changes lanes, he is only hedging his bets.

Or people who were scammed out of most of their pensions by HMRC approved pension providers and are now being pursued for the rest by HMRC?
The quip about our monarch, that he is 'under the control of global elites' happens to hold water. Charles gave a grand speech at a WEF (World Economic Forum) gathering on behalf of the British public (though unelected) showing great political interest in their programmes. He equally showed unprecedented nonchalance and lack of interest when he gave the King's Speech at the opening of Parliament, suggesting that his own national govt was of less interest to him. This behaviour is a far departure from Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth was clever enough to never say anything except her anodyne Christmas speech. But she allowed her son, the obvious next monarch, to go off to Davos and join in the WEF meetings.

In Canada after the PC collapse, the radical right Reformers (not all of course, some were quite moderate like Jan Brown and Keith Martin) eventually became the mainstream. The same could easily happen in the UK.
That's what's already happening, yet the mainstream are trying to spin it pretending like that's not what's happening. based on the current trends, if not this election, next election Farage will be PM.
And what we are seeing with the Conservative party is a party that has no platform other than the Libs are bad. I have not seen any manifesto to lower the cost of living or housing crisis. Our media is complicit in this sort of boosting change of government without any clarity of what the opposition is offering.
A Reform candidate says 'Hitler inspired people.' How true. An Uncle on my mother's side shot down 13 Hitler inspired Nazi planes before he was shot down by another Hitler inspired plane. My beloved mother died a terrible death at least partly from a Hitler inspired war in December 1944. Another Uncle lost his leg in Italy from Hitler's inspired tanks. Another was tail-gunner on a Lancaster bombing Germans from the Hitler inspired war. Another fought in Burma against the Hitler inspired ally of Germany--loved India swore his life on the Ghurkas. My Father ran the Steam Trains through the Blitz many times nearly killed by Hitler's inspired bombs & fire. (Ran over three bombs sabotaged by the German workers,) My Steam Engine Driver was in the Dunkirk reguard then walked across France to get out fight in the 8th Army with Big Sam became a Driver also in Didcot.) If D-Day could be called back Fascist Toad Farage will be shooting UK & Allied soldiers down in ecstasy with all his Reform buddies. Who wants to vote for Nazi German's future from 1939 to 45?
Thanks for sharing this perspective. We're all thankful for your family's sacrifice and we all owe a debt to them and those factory workers' sabotage. We owe it to them to remember what happened when fascists took power back then.
They would argue that the mistake wasn’t his policies, but his decision to invade other nations. What Reform wants is a isolationist Britain where we are inspired by those policies, but keep it within our borders, a Britain where everyone looks a certain way and thinks a certain way, and we keep everyone else out.
A Labour candidate liked Chairman Mao. Mao’s policies killed tens of millions of people.
Nigel Farage is one of the most patriotic people in this country and would support the memory of all your family who fought or contributed in the wars. He raises money for veterans and attends D-Day commemorations EVERY year, not just when dignitaries attend. He would have led the charge against Hitler if it was the 1940s. His politics are akin to Mrs Thatcher's which are right-of-centre politics. He is given horrible labels because he wants to tackle the high levels of unsustainable immigration, which Labour will have to do once in power. He is also hated because of Europe issue but his stance is the same as the people like the late Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn (who had to 'change' his years old position because he was the Labour leader). Watch old GB News programs of which he presented - he is vastly different than what elite politicians and media types paint him as.
Mr grandad was at D Day.... but he had to leave early for a TV interview so he wasn't involved in any fighting (it ran over).

Nobody should ignore Reform. The next ten years could well be more austerity. More and more people may become homeless and/or using food banks. There will be Farage in "peoples kitchens" handing out food and necessities. Far fetched? As a literal description possibly, as a metophor I would not bet against it.

This is not a balanced debate when nobody is challenging their dribble. They are both against Reform, so how can it be balanced.

Yes, this. I'm well educated and a moderate/centrist left voter, but the level of snobbery and dismissal towards Farage (a kind of "we are smart, we know best, we are the voice of reason, Reform voters are stupid and racist") - is high, but also wrong, as many support his party and needs to be taken seriously.
The "well educated" I know are very interested in The Reform Party. They see parallels to the Thatcherite years in policies and opportunities, which also excited the working classes.
@@MikePhillips-pl6ov I’ve been saying for over a decade that the left desperately need to have a reasonable debate about the pros and cons of different immigration policies. But they just keep doubling down on _“Immigration is good. Disagreement is bigotry.”_ And populist nationalists just keep winning more support because of that.
She reminds me of a lot of US Democrats in 2015. Quite complacent. I was warning that I felt Trump could find a way to the GOP Nomination, which was possible because the other Republican candidates were so unappealing, and then that he could win it all partly because the Democratic brand was in such poor shape and Hillary getting such horrible press coverage, and people just looked at me as if I belonged in a rubber room. But I've spent probably the majority of my life living in the UK among future Brexit voters and then in the US among future Trump voters. Most of these journos have a very urban bubble.

I think this could be a possibility. While the polls would have to be insanely wrong for the Tories to win, it is perfectly possible that they are wrong in underestimating the Tories and overestimating Labour and Reform UK. And so Labour's actual lead may not be as big as it appears. And since we know many on the left don't like Starmer there is the danger some voters could leak away since these voters think the Tories are definitely finished. Also, if you're a left winger that doesn't like New Labour style Labour politics why would you want Starmer's Labour to win a massive majority?

Let's not be naive. He's switching from Tory to Labour because he wants a peerage. He's giving money to whomever he think can give him something in return. Labour and Tory and their associate media fanboys (incl New Statesman, Spectator) are desperately attacking Farage because he represents a genuine threat to their uniparty system and he is saying the things that a significant portion of the electorate are actually concerned about. You can either continue attack him or you *could* try addressing those concerns. Heaven forbid anyone would try to fix the cause, rather than attack the symptoms.

Starmer is a puppet of WEF.
Some people just pick on a few bad apples, how about digging up some dirt on the other parties. Or are you just biased.
How many bad apples do you need in a barrel of proto-fascists to call it rotten.
I find it amazing that after the Tory lurch to the Right completely wrecked many aspects of the UK, people are even contemplating voting for a party even further to the Right. Don't people have any concept of cause and effect?
It's because if you look at Reform's manifesto - just like UKIP in the past who proposed a form of UBI - their economic policies actually borrow from the left as well as the right. So, a decent amount of the pie in the sky revenue that Reform claim they could bring in is essentially from the very wealthy, for example. But also, their immigration pitch also borrows from the left: claiming to be the ones who will defend poorer communities from the effects of an influx of low skilled labour; which historically is the thing that the right wing loved most about immigration.
Things are never as black and white as it gets written or talked about. It's currently in vogue to describe being against large scale immigration as right wing for social reasons, when 40 years ago it was regularly left wing for economic reasons. Libertarians can be from the left or the right wing, but currently they get framed as right wing because the people talking about them concentrate on their economic policies rather than looking at their social policies. Almost everyone is right wing in some aspects, and left wing in others. Farage's parties have always tried to capitalise on this by picking and choosing policies from all across the spectrum in order to entice as many different people as possible. It's a common tactic of populists. Look at how Johnson got such a large margin of victory last election: it was by being more economically centrist in his promises.
The 'collapse' of the Tory party is just a fiction. Reform UK will be the Tory Party but worse and they will have washed off all of the blame for the last 14 years....

Really? Care to name some of them? Because we have the names of the people on the right who praise Hitler and Mussolini?
In all truth, the argument that leftists support Stalin and Lenin largely falls over because of the intense secrecy to which the USSR was subject. The true depths of the atrocities of Stalin and Lenin are far better known now than they were at the time. By contrast, the depth of the Nazi atrocities came to light much quicker. I think you'll struggle to find modern day leftists - even on what you might consider the "far left" (something that barely even exists here) still praising Stalin.
Extremists, whether on the Left or the Right, are to be avoided equally. Both Labour and the Conservatives now have a tendency to accept extremists into their membership. Why?

@@jameshorner7816 Corbyn not only let them but pushed them, it was a major factor in resoundingly losing him the 2019 election.
Nigel Farage's divisive rhetoric which many perceive as promoting fascist and racist ideologies should not be given a platform that amplifies his message. By continually discussing him, the media risks legitimizing his views and potentially influencing public opinion in a negative direction. I urge for a reconsideration of the media's approach to covering Farage. It is crucial that we do not repeat past mistakes (media helping Trump 2016 campaign) and instead focus on constructive and balanced reporting that fosters informed public discourse.
Why is it 'offensive' to point out that immigration is unsustainably high, or speak the truth about the origins of the Ukraine war? These things are only 'offensive' to people who are unacquainted with the facts - or so ideologically committed to the official narrative that they cannot accept any other view.
The undeniable truth is that everything is getting busier, more traffic on the roads, more queues in the shops, more overflowing bins. Have you seen Bournemouth beach recently on a sunny day,? good luck finding a parking space that's all I can say.
It doesn't take a genius to realise that quality of life is going down for the majority of people as the population reaches new heights literally day by day. It actually isn't mentioned enough that we are a relatively small country with a large population relative to size already. Do we really want less countryside and wild places as more and more houses, hospitals, roads etc need to be built in our constant attempts to keep up with mass immigration only for more people to come in the following year all over again.
The UK already has the highest population it has ever had in its entire history, if you have kids that will grow up here you should be concerned about this.
You’re right - if we got rid of Reform types we’d free up a load of space
Problem for reform is their vote is all over the place. So lib Dems can poll much less and get many more MPs. He'll never get the ticket for PM unless he got double the votes. But we all know that's not his plan and he'll try and get on the Tory ticket if he can. But maybe less easy if there are only one nation conservatives left
So glad to know the fascist vote isn't concentrated.
He only really appeals to these backwards little places in Lancashire and essex. The West Coast has a real problem with racism
That’s a difference of electoral strategy arising from LibDem bitter experience of FPTP reality, vs Reform desperate to prove they are a “national force” and not just Farage plus a motley crew of anti vax cranks, Essex Brexiteers and former NF boot-boys. The LDs are concentrating on about 150 seats, many of them in the “blue wall” Home Counties (I live in one - the Lib Dem presence is very visible in what has been a Tory seat forever, while the Tories seem to be in hiding). So Reform may have 18% spread over 600+ constituencies, but the LDs 14% is much more concentrated in fewer than half of that. In FPTP its seats that count, not votes.

Reform has a ceiling of 20%? Are you not looking at similar movements across the world? The US, France, Italy, Germany, to name but a few. There is no ceiling, Farage it’s quite open that he wants to find a young protege like Jordan Bardella in RN.
"Are you not looking at similar movements across the world? The US, France, Italy, Germany, to name but a few."

I'm Danish. About 25 years ago The Danish Peoples Party (heavily right wing and anti-muslim) was what Reform UK are now. It took one or two elections to get rid of the "weird" party members and make the party "presentable" to the public. So it can be done and Nigel Farage resembles Pia Kjærsgaard (the long time leader of The DPP). So watch out people in the UK!
Edit: After the election in 2015 The DPP had 21.1% and was the second largest party in Denmark, so it's highly likely that Reform UK can reach these numbers. After that it went downhill for DPP and now it's the smallest. Two parties went further to the right, so watch for those.
What is worse is that the social democrats basically took over their full programme and it took them into office. (I am Danish too btw)

@@sharonharris9782 For your education; Reform are a fringe (business) not a party in our first past the post system they will win maybe one seat! the preferred amount would be zero seats! so you see you cannot win and farage will lose in clacton.🤣
@@zog97xyyou don't need to educate me on that party. However, thinking this could never happen to your country is naive. So, good luck with that outlook.
These wealthy people are on record as saying they haven't given money to Labour, including Theo Paphitis today.
Shows these people just buy whoever is going to be in government.
The Internet is suggesting everyone loves reform
I never read the New Satesman and from this podcast I can see why. They just run down those they don't support. I will still vote Reform however.
OMG you FOOLS! Call yourself journalists!! He donated to the Tories because as the Government they had the power to change laws to enrich him. Now there’s going to be a Labour Government he has to pay Labour to do his bidding. …. What’s so difficult to understand. Tories and Labour always do what they are told by their rich donors…. GROW UP and face facts!😂
It’s amazing that they can still be in a bubble where the only thing they hear are the echoes of other people in their bubble. Time to grow up and smell the daises. Your rhetoric will come back to haunt you. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Reform is a cesspit and it fills quickly.
Another example of an establishment media organisation trying to reinforce the status quo and maintain the policies of the metropolitan bubble.
Who did the budget that crashed the economy, Liz Truss or Kwasi kwarteng.
How did the budget crash the economy?
We have no idea who's going to stay at home.
Facist is as facist does
How is reform facist?
@@lewis123417 Have you seen their policies? For a start the one to allow schools only to teach "approved" history which bears little resemblance to reality.
@@charlesunderwood6334 "Any teaching about a period or example of British or European imperialism or slavery must be paired with the teaching of a non-European occurrence of the same to ensure balance." - Reform contact
Oh no, teaching a balanced view of history, how fascist!
@@lewis123417 They are 100%
@zog97xy yeah mate simply saying they are with an inability to actually back that up or formulate a decent response suggests to me your just using that word without knowing why 🤣
Labour: The party of billionaire donors and corporations
The New Statesman is absolute garbage 😂😂
Cope😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@bridget9396 How? Enlighten us all

MORE STRIKES AND MORE TAX RISES AND UNEMPLOYMENT RISING AND HIS ISLAMIC PLANS TO REBUILD GAZA AND PALESTINE WITH OUR TAXES. BEFORE ANY MONEY IS SPENT ON OUR COUNTRY .
Oops, too late.
@@davidalderson4980 Will someone please explain which donors have corrupted the Labour Party? Genuinely want to know
What's,it these days people hurling insults at each other - it really has to stop ....let's get back to good manners
And yet, according to the polls, the electorate is willing to vote for the Labour Party, just because, for any other discernable reason/s they are not the Tories.
