Farage Ltd and Similar Watch

Farage patronises them too, just in a different way. Bread and circuses for the 21st century.

"A Reform UK candidate claimed the country would be "far better" if it had "taken Hitler up on his offer of neutrality" instead of fighting the Nazis in World War Two."

Reform candidate said UK should have been neutral against Hitler

The party says the comments were not "endorsements" but "written with an eye to inconvenient perspectives".

Clearly no knowledge of the actual history of the build up to WW2

Parties at the extremes are always going to have complete cranks when they decide to fight in 100s of constituencies. You could argue something similar with the red wall Tories from 2019. They weren't supposed to win so they didn't spend too much time caring about who they put up.

 

[Mel Evo]

Yep. Reform candidate in my constituency was gone within one week of the leaflet hitting the doormat due to historic statements even too extreme for them.

Le Pen's party have absolutely romped France's EU elections, and so Macron has called a snap presidential election. Situation across Europe seeing electorates move to the right.

Belgian PM has now resigned too.

Belgian PM has now resigned too.

...but he has lost a general election.

Absolute fucking prick. Bang out of order, and puts Nigel fucking Farage on the moral high-ground, 'standing up for ordinary people' while getting physically attacked

We don't hate our country, Nigel. We hate you. You attention seeking, lying, racist, Putin loving cunt.

Normalises it too, which is not a good thing

Nigel Farage and an 'Extraordinary Lack of Curiosity' from UK Government and Intelligence Services Over Possible Russian Interference in Brexit

"It did strike me as ridiculous that, given the overt nationalism of the Leave.EU campaign, it was involved in discussions with representatives of the Russian Government"

Exclusive: Undercover inside Reform’s campaign – evidence of homophobia and canvasser’s racism

Fuck me I hate those cunts so much. I've got family voting for them and it takes every ounce of God knows what for me to not completely disown them. There's a big difference between opposing political views, and then being OK with family siding with Nazis

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I think they are going to get a higher percentage of the vote than people are predicting and it sickens me.

 

[Del Woppio]

I think there's a cap to what they can achieve because of the pure rancidity of the people they attract - there will be people who are concerned about immigrantion and like some of the policies, but just can't associate themselves with a party like that. The Putin thing will really hurt them too

They're here to stay, and will be horrible and noisy, but will remain fringe imo and top out around 4m and three seats

Looking from afar, I'd say they'll get more or less 20% of the vote. What that will equate to in seats, I don't know.

 

[Tony Towner]

I think it'll be an election where we are glad of the FPTP system.

 

[BillyDee]

I have to admit, as a PR advocate I'm kinda glad we don't have it this election.
Although I believe some countries have a hybrid system that works.
