Great tune.
I was talking about people voting differently than they normally would to rid a county of an odius mp.I think it does.
What reform are exceptionally good at though is making poor people believe that their problems are almost exclusively down to foreigners. Brexit was going to deliver untold benefits to the poor because ‘the EU’. What’s sad is the same charlatans are now using a general ‘if it wasn’t for the foreigners’ you’d have great wages, open access to healthcare and cheap housing and the same people are falling for it.I have found that when people are called racist, it is because they are actually racists and racists tend not to think of themselves as racists because they have a friend who is a different colour to themselves.
It is called "othering" and Reform are good at that.
I’m starting to see how well they did in so many places. I suspect largely pissed off Tory voters too.
Becomes an interesting conundrum for reform does this and I’m looking forward to the squirming and double standards already.By 8.30am I heard Tice banging on about the "unfair voting system" in the UK ( FPTP) as I predicted. The odd thing is ( not ) he, Farage and the rest have never been bothered about a move to PR before and with 4 MP's why on earth would they think Labour with over 100 times that number of MP's could be persuaded to change a system that delivered them a landslide - deluded.
I want controlled immigration and strong border controls, i do not want people having to cross the channel in small boats in order to seek asylum, i do not want potential asylum seekers being housed in hotels costing millions of pounds.Basically if you think mass immigration of thousands of people arriving on boats with no checks, then housing them for millions of pounds a day is bad, you are racist.
Fools and their votes, easily parted.What reform are exceptionally good at though is making poor people believe that their problems are almost exclusively down to foreigners.
