It’s slightly less work for us at the end of the day. Why worry about stopping Reform when they’re just going to end up imploding themselves due to how thick they are.
They already are in the councils they've won. I wouldnt want to wait until they win and all the damage they can do to migrants and refugees before they implode.
I just want the left to be prepared when the competent reactionary party rears its head
I struggle to see how this comment makes sense in the context of the Uk.
competent
reactionary
Pick one
Competency for them isn't necessarily measured in ability to wield or hold on to power effectively. Their main goal is to inflict pain on whomever they see as lesser. Them being incompetent while managing to brutalize migrants and people of color still results in cruelty.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best
All CHUDs are good at is getting elected. That’s it. Incompetent but rolled a nat 20 in Charisma.
I think the bankrolling and media slant does a lot to paper over the less-charismatic elements of the far-right
Why the fuck would you establish yourself as the racism party and then run a candidate racists will hate
because a surprising number of the members believe the bullshit that they aren't actually racist and are just preserving the culture or whatever wank they claim this month
You've got to have a few PoC in the party to point at so you can claim to not be racist. Most people do see racism as bad even if they support racist policies. They just only see racism in the most cartoonish obvious way. So having a few tokens around alleviates their guilt of being racist.
Nigel Farage isn’t the most competent politician out there.
I'm judging that candidate pretty hard for joining reform as a brown guy.
Well, it appears the leopards are eating his face now.
I have been worried about a potential Reform government for months now but at this rate I doubt they’ll even survive until the next election. As it stands right now they’re still a small-ish party (most of the polls with them far in the lead are after the local elections) and already plagued with infighting.
Seeing the absolutely repulsive racism in the replies fills me with schadenfreude over Britain's inexorable decline into irrelevance
don't they have a head of lettuce?
