Title: Nigel Farage and the Reform Party
Post by: Steve_uk on May 03, 2025, 06:31:AM
Whatever you think of him he has achieved an outstanding local election result, taking votes from Conservatives in the shires and Labour in the Red Wall. Forget reducing Council Tax and emptying the bins: this election was primarily about immigration and people's dissatisfaction about the perceived abuse of asylum laws by economic migrants, primarily young men, who have paid huge sums to be trafficked across the Channel by criminal gangs.

If the two main parties hitherto do not get to grips with the mood of the country and continue to wind the clock down it's not inconceivable that Farage will be leader of the largest party in Westminster in 2029, or even Prime Minister. https://youtu.be/67qCOfjORhE

They would leave the ECHR. Immigration curbs are their raison d'être. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/andrew-neil-issues-major-prediction-as-reform-uk-takes-huge-poll-lead/ar-AA1FAbmu?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=6176cc197a5146dba9f798985f47b45d&ei=11

I agree with there being a state of emergency regarding migrants. It's beyond scary what is happening. However, I don't trust Reform.

Until the two old parties get to grips with the immigration issue Reform will continue to top the polls.

I've absolutely no faith in any political party solving this country's ever-increasing problems. They can't even stop knife-and drug-equipped drones flying into prison courtyards such as Long Lartin. With Farage it'll just be another case of change the name and do the same.

I Agree Steve, I voted Reform not that I like Farage but it’s the only way to shake up the two mainstream parties.  I don’t think there’s a decent politician in the Country at the moment.

It's not an "only", Roch. Efficiency and controlling government spending, which has been out of control for years is a big job. Officially he will also be involved in policymaking, electioneering and media appearances.

Can you just imagine Starmer with his auto-cue prompt and nasal whine speaking so fluently, passionately and eloquently?  I hope that if Farage is ever elected PM, he's held to his word on serious issues of out-of-control crime, lax court justice and illegal migration, providing he doesn't kick the bucket early with his fondness for swilling countless pints of ale and 20+ a day smoking habit.

He does look under strain. Maybe he should take a holiday.

I'm no fan of Essex Chief Constable. And I am no fan of mass illegal migration. And I am no fan of bonehead protesters wrapped in union jacks attacking buildings and police.

From what I gather the Canary Wharf protesters were peaceful, whilst the young, single men from Third World countries who have no business to be in the UK and who have no intention of integrating ever were pelting them with eggs.

Nigel Farage is very good at criticising governments. Should he actually become PM it would not surprise me if he struggles to deliver or implement anything.

The problem the UK has is its almost £3 trillion debt, yet politicians won't face up to the truth, given the something-for-nothing society we are becoming.

This is an interesting article. Though Matt Goodwin doesn't exactly resonate with white working class voters I still think Reform will win. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/in-gorton-and-denton-i-found-a-long-festering-sense-of-fury-that-labour-has-no-idea-how-to-tackle/ar-AA1VqKDC?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=697f7cba9d1349bd8adb568b61a5f0b1&ei=12

Since there seems to be a bit of a lull on the site I thought I would give my thoughts on the forthcoming by-election in Gorton and Denton in two days' time, a constituency I know well. The vacancy arose because the previous incumbent wrote derogatory messages on WhatsApp, including he hoped one of his pensioner constituents would die, and an Anglican priest should be "burnt on a bonfire."

There are really only three parties with a chance of winning, though I post a link to all the candidates at the end.

Labour have held the seat for generations, apart from a period in the 1950s. It's the sixth safest seat for Labour in the country. The key will be how the Labour votes of 2024 will be dispersed. The candidate, Ms. Angeliki Stogia was born in Arta, Greece, became a naturalized British citizen and currently is councillor for Whalley Range, one of the poorest Manchester wards. She is concentrating on local issues, but will face a backlash from the Keir Starmer mismanagement, the Gaza conflict and the white working class, which is increasingly deserting Labour for Reform.

Reform are represented by Matt Goodwin, former university academic and GB News presenter. Though a credible candidate he's possibly not the best suited to appeal to such a working class constituency, though he claims Northern roots through his attendance at Salford University, where he used to deliver pizzas as a student. His strength will be in the Denton part of the constituency, which is 83% white, compared to Gorton, Abbey Hey, Burnage and Levenshulme, where Muslims account for 40% of the population. Students and graduates in this part of the constituency comprise 42% of the electorate.

It's the Greens which have seized the initiative in recent days. Hannah Spencer makes great play of the fact that she gets her hands dirty fixing toilets as a plumber, though I've been told she now installs heat pumps. She's a personable young lady and has gained momentum, with a slick campaign focusing on alleged genocide in Gaza to attract the Muslim vote, delivering leaflets in Urdu outside mosques in the constituency. She's vulnerable to the charge of carpetbagger, given that she made derogatory comments about the area a few years ago and now lives in probably the wealthiest part of Manchester in Hale with up until recently her engineer partner, though I've been told they have now split up after buying a second home in Altrincham.

The result will depend on voter turnout, though I suspect Hannah might just receive enough Labour protest votes to snatch the seat. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crkrpgvkd0no
