Its more a question of having no other choices, Tories have screwed us Labour are starting to screw us, trying to freeze pensioners to death to cut the pension bill, lib’s have a childish fool for a leader so out of the three I did vote Farage and will next time.

We cant let apathy rule the day, I’m sure the Syrian people had the same apathy in the decades of their tyrant ruler, but it only takes one person to start the ball rolling in the right direction to make massive changes happen.
Maybe that person is Farage he’s done it once getting us out of the EU which was in itself a massive almost impossible achievement.

Cris, you are quite right in what you say, we must not let apathy rule the day. Yes, I believe it worth the effort to get Farage and Reform in to No 10. Yet we have in very recent years seen the tip of the iceberg on corporate and state sanctioned power - given the 'blob' is actually the state and elected politicians appear to have little sway.

I believe Trump has had a strong influence on Farage. If that is the case then they both will tackle the Whitehall state head on and win.
Perhaps we also need an Elon Musk to dismantle so many useless functions of the State.

I'm quite sure many would agree with Farage. He has become that charismatic figure like a preacher of righteousness in that 'old time religion.' His message is infectious. His contacts in the White House now impeccable. But I wonder ...

With the forces available to the 'blob', pressure from the EU (both internal and external), unions and lobbyists and, among several other things the fact that past politicians have tied us in knots with treaty after treaty ... I wonder if he could actually pull off a tenth of what he preaches?

I fully admit he's an ambitious chap; starting off as a lone public voice against our membership of the EU and building the momentum over many years. He built such a powerful case for Brexit 52% of voters bought into it. I didn't because already I was sure Brexit was our only way forward. I still believe that but so many politicians and the blob haven't acted on the will of the people. I fully expect another referendum in this parliament to reverse the first one.

What makes Farage supporters think these same delinquent forces won't freeze any change he might make in high office?

Look what happened to Liz Truss. She started off well but that visionary budget was stonewalled by the B of E, the markets and international bankers who lend us huge amounts of money. Out she went and we got, well, Sunak, a Goldman Sachs banker.

So there are quite clearly malevolent forces at work behind the scenes - the same forces would actively oppose Farage.
