That’s the sales pitch; the actual customers are vastly different. I can exclusively reveal here the results of the largest-ever survey of Reform voters: more than 11,000 people who would vote for Farage tomorrow, were the polling booths open. Yet far from a single bloc marching under one ideology, they form a large, diverse and fragile coalition.
The nation is diverse, therefore the people voting for any one party are diverse. Shocker, eh?
The analysis comes from Hope Not Hate, the respected anti-racist organisation,
Ah, so lies from hate filled ideologues.
Respected by whom?
The only people who matter: the BBC, Graudiad and Labour Party.
Everyone else are just oiks who should be ignored.
Oh, and the judiciary.
The Establishment.
I fondly hoped that when he was exposed as a liar who made up a claim an ethnic woman was subjected to an acid attack, he’d be finished. In a normally functioning society he would be!
I can’t believe the dumpy twat Lowles hasn’t had his smug face smashed in by someone he has victimised.
HnH is an Establishment op, therefore untouchable by the vulgar masses.
Weird how they’re both terrified of Reform and unable to understand why people vote for it. If they realized that people want something stronger than Farage’s offer their heads would probably explode.
Modern version of biblethumping…
“It’s not in the Book!! It’s not in the Book!! ReeeEeeee!!”
From people over there I’m in contact with I’m thinking Lefties ought to be praying a Farage government is a success. Because, if it isn’t, you’re next government could be a lot further to the right. And not the libertarian right, either.
Farage is the watered down version of what is necessary.
True… My chief concern re Reform is that Farage hasn’t got the balls to do what really needs to be done.
He has to get elected first, which means he has to persuade the majority of the electorate that receives money from the minority to do that. Give him time.
True… And I’m keeping my fingers crossed that that’s the case.
Stupidity and fear go hand in hand. Look at sheep….
And in any case, any party that gets to power is made up of large diverse fragile coalitions.
Farage has to rein himself in to appear reasonable, a pretty significant chunk of Reform supporters want a far more radical approach.
I know I do.
[Edit : I see BiS has made this point above ]
I think a large proportion of Brits are what I call curtain twitchers. Their lives are comfortable & not much of the issues really touch them. So they’re not really political. They don’t want to get involved.
There was a thing I saw in your papers a couple of weeks back. Haywards Heath which is real curtain twitcher territory. Regularly voted for Fat Boy Soames. My father lived there. He was definitely a “Wogs go home” sort. But he’d never stir himself to do anything. Two minutes walk from his house is a path takes you along the side of the cricket pitch & comes out near the station. Lot of commuters use it. Woman got dragged in the bushes & raped. Middle of the day. Perp described as black. Haywards Heath enrichment population you once could count on one hand but…
There’s a standard Western screenplay. Town dominated by bad guys, hero rides in, mixes it with bad guys, comes off worse. Female lead rouses townspeople, big shoot out,(amusing shot of grinning granny using rifle) bad guys defeated, smiles all round. Sorry, that’s not how people behave. Push people too far they get vindictive. They”d be nailing bad guys to corral rails & slowly skinning them with blunt knives. And anyone who objected.
Haywards Heath resident here. Allegedly HH has virtually the least deprivation of any English district. Nevertheless, it contains one problem area – Bentswood – with multiple social issues unrelated to immigration. Constituency traditionally would have elected a turnip wearing a blue rosette, but last year the Right vote was split, so the LibDem got in.
If you canvass people in an average, suburban place like Swindon and ask a question like “so what’s your take on the government”, people care about really basic stuff: crime, health, tax, schools. More people will talk about how there’s glass by the playground, the pavement is crappy or the swings are broken than they will about Gaza, foreign aid or net zero.
…how to win back Reform voters and stop Farage from running Britain.
1) Halt all third-world immigration
2) Deport all illegal immigrants
3) Deport all foreign criminals and their families
4) Eradicate Muslim ‘Grooming’ Gangs
5) Eradicate Black drug gangs
6) Cancel Net Zero and build more Nukes
7) Re-open the North Sea
8) No more foreign wars
9) Build more housing for Brits
10) Lions…
Weird isn’t it, I seem to remember being told by exactly the same sort of people that ‘good’ political parties are a broad church of people of varying interests and ideas, rather than a bunch of monomaniac ideologues.
Its almost as if the Left haven’t looked in the mirror recently, if ever.
“Hope Not Hate”.
Lot of that sort of thing on the left. Call your organisation something that sounds so lovely, only a Nazi could oppose it.
Like “Funding the Future”. Who wouldn’t want to do that? Obviously, that ought to be called “Funding My Future” as that’s what it’s always only ever been about.
I love that last paragraph – so F%&^ing true
The analysis comes from Hope Not Hate, the respected anti-racist organisation,
I genuinely think if he were still alive (and this thought was prompted by the Joey Barton verdict) that I’d have more respect for Fred West than for a member of Hope not Hate.
Fred West just wanted to murder a few people. HNH want to murder all white communities, everywhere on earth.
And the preachers of racist politics are getting more strident and more influential. Last year, Farage opposed mass deportations. Twelve months of Tommy Robinson calling for it on the hard-right social media channel renamed X and Farage has adopted the policy against people who have already got all the proper paperwork to stay – while Starmer has promised his own crackdown on people applying to remain here. From the extremists’ lips to the voters’ ears within a year.
Take the fucking hint then. I hear the poop bathing is lovely in Bharat this year.
As if Farage is taking orders from TR. Who’s probably been arrested again for 1st degree being TR.
