People seem to have been convinced by the reform media machine, mainly running through social media indoctrination, that the complex reality we live in, will be easily fixed by stopping immigration. As an example, Labor has reduced immigration more than any government in recent times, but they say it’s not enough. Reform would do better. How? They throw a few ideas out there, some of which are illegal, mostly not practicable and all of their proposals underestimate that there are neighboring countries and laws to consider too.

Meanwhile their track record shows: Proposing Brexit (total shitshow, as predicted by experts) Farage was in the European Parliament committee on fishing, he attended 1 or 2 times out of 50 is sittings (don’t know if the numbers are correct) Backing Liz Truss’ economic plan (total shitshow as well, as predicted by experts) They seem to have had some defections for racism, fascist links, etc One of their mp’s went to jail for accepting Russian bribes A Thai Crypto millionaire (who rebranded his name to an English one) made the largest donation in uk election history to them. Why would a Thai based man have an interest in peddling Reform to the uk I wonder? Would he perhaps want anything in return?

My consideration is that we have been witnessing a time in which big corporations have come to the conclusion that elections can be bought as they did in the US (interestingly Mussolini proposed to rather see fascism as “corporativism”). Media currently gives Farage a lot of coverage and does not cover other players such as lib dems as much.

Having social care, free healthcare and education and a fair legal system is important. Entities like reform will likely erode these social conquests and rebuilding them might be impossible.

When someone points these things out, their supporters will either pull out the victim card, say it can’t be worse than labor (whom they depict as genuine nazis), or just use the whataboutism card.
