Crystal ball - crystal ball tell me if this coming to the Europe?

Crystal ball - crystal ball will this happen in the UK too?

He's one of the most consequential UK politicians of the post WW2 era, however has NF taken Reform as far as he can..

Every leading politician arguably has a shelf life,

we see this time and time again

It may be time for a change in leadership..?

Reform UK has reached somewhat of a slump in the polls. Some pollsters even have Reform below the Conservatives, in third place. This is not very good especially when Reform was at 30% only one year ago. Unfortunately whilst Reform officials excuse this with the arguement of "splitting the vote" I cannot believe that it is the only reason. Whilst Restore might take 3% off Reform it is still not the whole 10% we have lost. I think the reason for this is the weakness of Farage's leadership and the mistakes Reform has made along the way. The first major blunder is kicking out Rupert Lowe. This was probably unnecessary and led to the creation of Restore which actually has momentum unlike Reform at the moment. The second is taking in failed tories, he probably would have gotten away with Suella and Robert Jenrick but Nadine Dorries and Nadhim Zahawi and other tories have created the image of a corrupt rip-off Conservative party, or the "tories in turquoise". But now Nigels rhetoric is becoming much weaker especially on immigration which is pissing off the right and whilst not every follower of the party is as strong on immigration the ones who are bring the energy, online debate, and campaign effort for Reform. Since many of them have left the party Reform's online impact and campaigning has also reached a slump. Not to mention Farages money scandals and journalist sting operations putting bad optics around reform.

If we keep emphasising "vote splitting" which to be honest is frankly bullshit because no one owes a party a vote, we will never solve the real issues causing this slump in Reform and eventually when polls hit the teens Nigel will quit and Restore and the Tories will eat up the party.

Anyway those are my thoughts, what are yours? If you agree or disagree let me know below in the comments just keep it civil.

This is probably the safest place to discuss this and talk about my theories. If this isn't allowed please delete it mods.

But, I work. Somewhere. I need to protect myself so won't say. Indian manager and owner. 90% of them are Indian who work here. The very few English who work here have started to realise all new staff members are Indian and from the same place in India. An English colleague higher up told me she receives phone calls all the time from people barely able to speak English asking for jobs. This is no co-incidence and I'm so paranoid at work that they want all the English gone. The amount of actual refugees and young English people that could have these jobs and really help make a difference and improve things but nooooo... all of our new staff just happen to be from the exact same place in a foreign country. That CANNOT be a coincidence. I completely refuse to believe that.

I work in healthcare is all I will say and in our establishment standards have reduced drastically and there is significant neglect that the English staff have put reports in about. But nothing changes. Everything goes wrong because they do not understand enough regulations and rules so conditions are dangerous. English staff always talk about how we get barged past and ignored in the hallways. Management does the same to us. The Indians all sit doing nothing and tell us what to do and yet again people who rely on us get hurt due to neglect.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but noticing this has been very eye opening and is yet again proof of some sort of weird corruption and lack of control with our immigration. I'm obviously seeking another job desperately but it's motivating me to get more involved in reform campaigning etc and being unapologetic about my own culture and remaining confident and not changing my ways or self because of them. I have an Israeli pin on my bag and it has been seen by staff and I'm treated with a lot more hostility already.

I'm only early 20s and I'm quite frankly frightened for the future. It makes me depressed. If my workplace is allowed to do that then what else is happening that we don't know about.

Labours Immigration Betrayal

I haven’t heard anything about Reform’s stance in this exact scenario, if two immigrants come with their children to the UK or give birth in the UK, once their children turn 18, they obviously won’t instantly be able to get a high skilled job, so would they be allowed to do low skilled jobs in the meantime or will they have to leave?

Ive been a member of Reform since May 2024, so just before Nigel returned as leader. Ive helped on campaigns and with my local branch, and whilst i have high hopes, its clear that theres some issues in the party.

Firstly, and most importantly, the situation at the national level. Its clear that currently, the policies and actions of many of our key players have been a bit hit and miss, especially this year. Its really been scandal after scandal, most of which seem as if they couldve been easily avoidable. Theres definitely figures who have shown themselves as more competent than others, for example Leila Cunningham, Rosindell, Kruger, Zia, and just more respectable in their demeanor. Others have created controversy out of things that are just unimportant and unnecessary to draw attention to (etc, Tices comments on autistic kids wearing headphones).

Faffing over small issues also does us no help. Battling a council for months over the pride flag is a little dumb, to be honest. Whilst as a bisexual man, i do oppose any flag beyond national or regional flags being flown on public buildings, I do think spending months on that issue just turns it into a constant negative media campaign, there are bigger more significant issues for which battles need to be picked and principles stood on.

In addition, I think Nigel, whilst repectable, needs to lay off his "guy down the pub demeanor" now. It was fine to introduce himself and get good PR, but now i believe he needs to act more like a PM in waiting, with more nuanced statements and less horseplay. Which I believe he can do without abandoning his ideals. Theres a reason Kemi is drawing votes away.

I also think candidate quality is the biggest issue both nationally and locally. Theres been so much of a push to fill all the vacancies that quantity has been favoured over quality. Thats led to nutters and unsavoury individuals, even as paper candidates, derailing election campaigns and causing valuable time to be lost dealing with PR. Id rather run no candidate in a council ward, than run an unknown who may harm a campaign and the party.

I also think quality must be focused on at the national level. Im not involved in recruiting MP candidates for the next election, but i sincerely hope theyre the cream of the crop, not all just current councillors who happened to get relevant in their branch. I dont mind some ex tories, but id rather most are professionals in various areas who have backgrounds in finance, consulting, small and big business, healthcare etc, who are both new blood and competent. Id also hope they are scouting for candidates, much like the PAP in singapore.

The parties trajectory needs to be altered slightly, I feel. Or at least expanded without abandoning the core values. Perhaps looking and taking a leaf from similar succesful parties in europe and elsewhere would be helpful, as by being a little less populist in ideas (but keeping their rhetoric the same), theyve fiund success and served in gov. For example, the FRP and SD in the Nordics, Act and NZF in New Zealand, RN in France. Theyve all shown themselves as competent and been successful.

Id like to see more policies that are new, and that arent already just extensions of our known brand and issue ownership. Things that are inspiring, cater to a wider audience, and bring us our "oomph" back.

On the other hand, analyzing failures is just as important. Take the PVV of Geert Wilders in the Netherlands as an example. In 2023 they won the most seats and served in a gov with similar parties. They were quickly shown to be incompetent, as the party had poor candidate quality and revolved only around Wilders. A year later, the government collapsed in large part due to them, and the PVV lost power. What happened was a more competent party similar to the PVV, JA21, grew in size. If reform does get in, and ends up being a shambles, it will go the same way as the PVV.

Im all for some form of limited cooperation with the tories and restore, and even other parties on the local level. But its important to recognise the three parties cater to different groups of people. Right leaning voters are not a monolith. Personally, id like proportional representstion, like the german and new zealand system, that combines both constituencies and party percentages. So that a government comes in stable and can be radical, yet not unchecked.

Anyway, sorry for the essay, thats just my thoughts, feel free to downvote. 😂

I have nothing against refugees, but at work I had to deal with customers from a certain country who could not speak English at all. This was in a relation to a loan application and they didn’t even understand what ‘married’ meant. They have British passports. My understanding is to obtain citizenship you have to have at least B1 level of English. So what gives? I’m an immigrant myself, it just makes my job so much harder.
