Non - Reform UK

You’d think we’d be the last country to fall for snake oil sales politics but the stagnation of the two main parties and their failure to deal with populist issues while concentrating on the world stage or cultural trends could make it very interesting.
 
The vast majority of political parties are a nest of vipers but Reform is the most venomous because it practises the politics of hate.

Think if you look on your link and see trustworthy and untrustworthy, untrustworthy is above 50% for both parties.

On recent polling, none of the two above and our present government (see Labour thread) have come out well with the public.

Any sign of positive things that ukipreform have achieved through their local or national elected members?

They are and many are buying into it.

Pointing at someone that appears different to you while screaming "it's all his fault" has been a successful political tactic for centuries.

It became less popular in Europe for a while last century but it's back on the rise again.

As you get older it becomes the most distressing thing about politics for me. The repetition.

Things you think had gone away coming back.

So few politicians wanting to focus on the greater good and what can be achieved if people pull together.

You get the rise of the far right blaming everything on people less fortunate than themselves and you get the left blaming everything on anyone who has money, constantly looking to penalise those who create businesses that employ people creating economic stagnation.

Such a void for someone to come through and appeal to the better side of human nature.

I do often wonder though is it chicken and egg scenario? ‘We’ are the people that buy into it. Are they feeding us or are we feeding them?

.. the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.

Fool me once shame on you

Fool me twice shame on me
 
Not very encouraging for those politicians and not surprising.

The negative outweighs the positive again.

A Marmite figure, Mr Farage has a net favourability rating of -30, with 60 per cent of people disliking him compared to 30 per cent who like him.

That is more popular than Sir Keir’s -40 score, with 66 per cent of respondents having an unfavourable view compared to 26 per cent favourable.

It is also higher than Kemi Badenoch’s -34, from 51 per cent declaring her unfavourable and 17 per cent who like her.
