Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

Just to chime in, racist people are a bit dim in the first place and if they are voting reform solely based on what they think is going to happen if they win, just highlights the fact.

Reform, if they win will be one of massive disappointment for those people who think like that. Reform cannot flick a switch and change the mess that we currently see in society. But my biggest concern with reform is the unknown entity of the economic plan. The social reform aspect is a known agenda on their behalf, but their economic figures don’t stack up to date.

Nigel Farage though like him or loathe him is a very smart operator who knows how to get people listening.

Politics has defaulted though like life in general to a lack of interest meaning less focus and people voting for a strap line rather than deep ideals and policy. Farage is the king of it..........Brexit was a one slogan headline popper IMO that had people voting for the idea, its effective, like Make America Great Again..........and Reform have gone the same way with their message about immigration. IMO there is no way they can stop the boat, you can't turn them back, stop them, tow them to the middle and all the guff I have read, but people have bought it, in that respect they have been massively in tune with how people are consuming their views and impacting their voting intentions.

It has also been aided by how sh1t Labour and the Tories have been, absolutely no doubt.......But Farage and his world class communication skills has got people on side, now if that means he is fit to run a country or even wants to...........I have serious serious doubts

So they need at least 81Labour MPs to force a leadership contest. But those 81 have to all be behind one contestant.

Is that doable?

Doesn't look like it IMO, unless its coordinated. Suppose we will know later as Wes in meant to be resigning
