Reform UK, Indeed?

Apart from coming third, advertising GB News, and working to make Nigel Farage Leader of the Conservative Party in time for the General Election of 2029, a party that he would by then have left 36 years earlier, what does Reform UK stand for? Drug legalisation, and the abolition of the monarchy, since Richard Tice has told the BBC three times to date that Farage ought to be President when Donald Trump was again. Is that your party? Could it be, say, Peter Hitchens's?

But when I tell you that there is going to be a hung Parliament, then you can take that to the bank. I spent the 2005 Parliament saying that it was psephologically impossible for the Heir to Blair's Conservative Party to win an overall majority. I predicted a hung Parliament on the day that the 2017 General Election was called, and I stuck to that, entirely alone, all the way up to the publication of the exit poll eight long weeks later. And on the day that Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister, I predicted that a General Election between him and Keir Starmer would result in a hung Parliament.

To strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty, we need to hold the balance of power. Owing nothing to either main party, we must be open to the better offer. There does, however, need to be a better offer. Not a lesser evil, which in any case the Labour Party is not. Much less Reform UK.
