Don't blame the Chinese for the demise of the UK car industry, blame the UK government. Their net zero BS is causing all sorts of pain for the citizens of this country.

it is too early to say if Reform is inevitable. Anyway, nothing in British politics is inevitable beyond staggering levels of incompetence and corruption. What we can say is that Reform is the only hope if the country is to survive in any recognisable form.

You're right about the incompetence. My guess is that Reform will assemble high profile figures from business a la Trump and the accent will be on a sweeping out of the Ancien Regime. The public demands it, and the momentum will only grow as Starmer's disastrous PM-ship will put it on steroids. This political class have absolutely and demonstrably failed the country, so the removal of dozens of Quangos and the Supreme Court will be supported en masse by the public. Big changes aren't just wanted, they're demanded by the public.

I’m just a random American guy who follows politics on the Right. I can remember back 10 years ago in my early college days when I was just being introduced to folks like Nigel Farage and Douglas Murray. I came across both of them on KZbin, and was immediately taken in by their charm, charisma, and passion. I was absolutely perplexed by the legendary scene of Nigel calling Herman von Rompuy a “damp rag”… didn’t know a damn thing back then about the EU or Parliamentary systems etc. Back then, nobody in my life had ever heard of someone like Nigel Farage, nor would they care. Now he’s rising potentially to the top of UK government.

It is inevitable that Reform UK will come to power because the current establishment is so far detached from the people. The country needs to get back to basics and sort out fundamental issues, both cultural and economic. The immigration bubble needs popping and we need to move on from it. Taxes need to be lowered and British enterprise needs to shine again. Of course, there will always be a dose of British socialism threaded into our society, but it has recently ballooned out of control creating huge inefficiencies and corruption.

The issue is not reform or some other secretarial failure. The real issue is far more terrifying and not discussed.. The real issue is that Britain is demonstrably and unviable state. It’s resources pitiful it’s indebtedness gigantic. Its social structures collapsed. It’s politicians beyond corrupt and criminal. It’s social inter, relationships, moral less violent and certainly utterly dysfunctional and it’s impoverishment accelerating daily.. as someone who loves the country it is hard not to weep every day at the sight of it. If anybody believes that reform is other than a wedge that will drive apart, whatever tiny little elements of cohesion exists that than they are both delusional and superficial. My real fear is the country will simply collapse that its structures are unviable that it’s economic condition, area, recoverable, and that it’s sectarianism so deep so wide, so appalling and worse than virtually any other country on earth now will make any recovery. Impossible and horrors could happen such horrors as one does not think about without sweating.

It's way too soon to say they are inevitable. The first past the post system works in the Tories and Labours favour. Reform's vote is highly concentrated which would make it very very hard for them to overtake the Tories and stand a chance at forming a government. In fact its only been achieved once in British history and that was when the Labour took the place of the Liberals as one of the two major parties. I suspect there is an element of a protest vote that is boosting them in the polls at the moment. When it comes down to a general election, then people tend to focus more on the kind of policies that parties are offering. If one of Reforms policies is to replace the the National Health Service which looks like it could be a possibility then I expect support for them will crumble in the run up to a general election given polls constantly show 80 percent of the British people in favour of it. There will also be a laser focus on Farage by the media in the next four years. Farage has had a pro-Putin stance in the past which he has been trying to distance himself from. If there are skeletons in his closet you can be certain they will come out. Then there is his closeness to Trump which might backfire on him given most Brits are not pro-Trump. You also have to remember Trump will be out of office before the next general election. He will only be in power until January 2029 and Labour do not have to go to the polls for several months after that. The reality is we don't know what will happen in the next 4 and a half years. Labour have had a rocky start but they still have plenty of time to turn things around and events can revive the fortunes of a flagging government ( this is what happened after the Falklands war ). The Tories may get rid of Badenoch and replace her with someone far more electable. Reform may implode. They say a week is a long time in politics if that is true then four and a half years is an eternity. One thing I can say for certain unless there is electoral reform before 2029 the fate of the Reform party may end up being very similar to that of the SDP in the 1980s. It could easily end up being like the SDP in the 1980s, swallowed up by a larger party and a footnote in British political history.

Unsurprising in a conversation between two 'intellectuals' that they miss Reform's most obvious strength; that it's not merely "right populist." The more fundamental truth is that Reform appeal innately to both established main parties traditional support bases. Not due to a mistaken 'contemporary intellectual' mis-categorisation of Reform as embodying 'hard right' stances. Merely as BOTH bases always have evinced an entirely centerist conservatism.

A more likely scenario is that, moving forwards, Reform will be party of small state and the Tories will the party of large state. As they increasing fail economically in power, Labour will cease to be an electoral possibility as what's left of their working class vote defect to Reform and the sensibles head to the Tories to keep Reform out - as the more strident Tories defect to Reform, the Tories will become more palatable to Blairites in Labour. At the last election Starmer won with almost 1 million fewer votes than Labour received at Corbyn's wipe out. Their popularity is currently tenuous at best and is only going down. The two parties moving forwards will be the Tories and Reform.

@@humanperson8418 Probably not, but since Brexit, and to a degree the election of Trump, I see a massive discontent with professional politicians (PPE at Oxford followed by SPAD and subsequently eased into MP selection) and a desire for competent people who have spent a decade or so being successful in the 'real world' before going into politics. The team Trump has put together since his latest election win demonstrates this and I suspect the desire for this will spread as the Western debt crisis expands over the coming months (and years). The slick political class we have now is completely different to the business-proved class of politicians from the mid-19thC onwards. I suspect we will see a return to a desire for proven competence over slick, media savvy, presentationalism.

Reform is likely to make huge gains at the next election. However it will be very difficult to win a majority or even a coalition with the Tories. There are some constituencies where Reform have little appeal and Labour could always form a coalition with the Lib Dem’s if necessary. The most likely scenario is that the fear of Reform will push Labour to be tougher on immigration and more moderate on social issues. To be honest that’s what I personally want anyway. A Labour Government with sensible immigration policy and less of the extreme woke stuff.

Don’t compare Farage with Trump! Farage is not even a 25% of Trump. Farage is a wimp. However, I would be forced to vote for reform in hope there may be some good changes even if Farage hasn’t got the balls to handle the immigration n Islam issue.

Yeah I agree. I suspect Labour be the largest party in a hung parliament in 2029 and form a coalition government. But given the size of their majority it might even be they win outright with a vastly reduced majority. It could be 2034 before there is a right win government in power again and I am pretty certain if that happens it will be the Tories not Reform.
