Great news! Always entertaining watching the loony left fighting amongst themselves, Marxist revolutions always eat their own. Next we will see purely Islamic parties form and dump these fools. The Left are dinosaurs, no one wants them.
We risk seeing Starmer and Rachel from accounts being sacked. Who will replace them will be far worse. We will see Denis Healy's rates of tax (98%) for the wealthy return, causing the loss of huge swathes of tax revenue and investment drying up.
We need to believe that Reform will correct this and address some of the massive issues we face. I think Reform can act quickly and effectively on immigration. But I think some other policies may lack the rigour of deep research. Where is the equivalent work done by Sir Keith Joseph before Thatcher came to power? The current Liebour government did not do any deep research before it came to power either, and it shows.
Some of those issues are:
- Root and branch reform of the NHS, in the teeth of leftwaffe hysteria about losing the 'free at the point of use' (which we know will not be lost).
- Dealing with welfare - incentivising work, but also changing the culture in the UK to make sure that hard work is rewarded. Changing the culture is very difficult. The horrendous socialist outcome of people being dependent on the state must be rolled back to an optimal safety net.
- Dealing with the demographic problem. This problem is multifaceted; not only do the financial aspects of housing affordability and parenting need to be addressed, but deeper reasons for not having children have to be recognised and solved. Korea has a horrible demographic problem, but its fiscal improvements for solving this have not worked - we need to learn.
Also, Thatcher needed several terms of power to turn the country. I remember her second election in 1983. The pain the country had to endure to turn the corner after she was elected in 1978 threatened her re-election. It was only the decisive action and victory in the Falklands War in 1982 that delivered electoral success. Reform needs a more than one term, how we are going to persuade the country to keep taking the medicine is going to need a genius.
I agree with much of what you say Charles but a first term in office for Reform should lead to tax cuts when a lot of gold plated nonsense has been redeemed from unproductive payroll tinkering. The NHS is really only free at the point of emergency now. Anyone with the spare cash has small operations in the private sector, we also pay for dentists, opticians, physiotherapists, counselling services and more as waiting times are unacceptable. People are no longer in thrall to the leftist genuflecting over the NHS and appointment times will improve when the opportunist immigrants are send home. If Reform are brave much can be improved quickly. But they must not take any notice of the MSM who will howl and seek to cause trouble. Unlike the Tories who believed the left wing media could be won over Reform must accept that that will never happen and just ignore them. Tax cuts, fewer people in hotels and more efficient public services will win most people over. But I agree they must do more to formulate plans and policies for every area of government. When it comes to fighting the next GE they need answers for every department of government.
"Reform needs more than one term, how we are going to persuade the country to keep taking the medicine is going to need a genius." I don't think it will take genius, Charles. I think Farage will follow the trail already blazed by Trump. Reform controlled councils are already benefitting financially from stopping woke costs and Farage will do the same nationally when in office. Trump has also laid a bright trail for dealing with the EU and other sicko fantasists like China and we will follow his path. A prospering economy thus created will offer jobs paying a better rate than benefits. In respect of work incentive, the £20k threshold for paying tax is a stroke of genius that will be seen as an opportunity. At the moment people might seem workshy, but if you understand how the depressing low wages/difficult to get off benefits trap has got ahold of the British workforce, you will see that commonsense and OPPORTUNITY are all the genius thats needed. I am truly certain that under Farage our economy will BOOM SOON.
I always thought that governments are there to help the British people. However, this Liebour party is punishing for the sake of punishment. We have non-natives who have invaded our country and seized political power and use it against us together with local politicians who lack of intelligence following idiots who have no clue what they are doing. Our treasury, sovereignty and borders have been at risk. I can see this, and the country is on the brink unless something is done.
Hi Brian, thanks for your strong views on an issue whcih REQUIRES strong views. Please kindly read my post below, "Woodbridge Bulletin" where I describe whats happening with Reform in Woodbridge, a small Town in Suffolk.
Whilst we watch Labour eat themselves from within and make catastrophic decisions regarding our country, and as Mrs Bucket says the purely Islamic parties start to form not only do Reform have to make sure they hit the ground running with clear concise and doable policies, but they have to make sure their prospective MPs are fit for purpose... McMurdock has suspended his own whip :( another one bites the dust!
Woodbridge Bulletin: I live in Woodbridge Suffolk whose Labour MP is Jennifer Carpenter. It states in its constituency publication that it does not engage with its constituents or listen to their concerns because commenters have been cruel and rude to it. As far as I know there is not yet a REFORM Parliamentary candidate for this constituency, SUFFOLK COASTAL. There are many middle class Marxists in Woodbridge which has always been far left. Apart from a Reform Party official who lives in Woodbridge, I have not met other members who live here. I have asked for leaflets to deliver in Woodbridge but have not heard back from the local party for whom the topics of immigration, free speech and wokery in the NHS appear to be taboo. I failed to attend the local party meeting organised recently because the agenda conssited soley of a talk on the structure of local government (i.e. a civics lesson) and other horseshit about obviously carefully chosen nuetral subjects. I'm puzzled as to their aim. I am SO TIRED OF BORING, IRRELEVANT HORSESHIT.

Good points.
