The main issue that Farage has is not just that his MPs are proper bottom-of-the-barrel candidates – it’s that they’re *vocal* bottom-of-the-barrel candidates.
For all Reform’s talk of vetting candidates, there doesn’t seem to have been a huge change between now and the previous election, where every day there was a new headline about a Reform candidate doing or saying something stupid.

They stand for division not unity. Was that not well known?

Considering our problem with ‘other cultures’ (read: Muslims) is that they’re homophobic, misogynistic and arse-backwards, I have an idea…
Instead of deporting people for their colour, religion or point of origin, we could just start deporting individuals who show signs of being homophobic, misogynistic and arse backwards. Oh, and child molesters too.
I’m sure Reform would love that policy, even though it would wipe out the majority of their party.
Except they wouldn’t, because their problem with ‘other cultures’ isn’t any of the above things in the first place.

Farage is always playing damage control because he filled his party with bigots, incompetents and outright corrupt people.

I live in hope that after they have attacked and blamed everyone else for Britain’s problems is that they will turn on each other and tear each other apart.

We know what they are.
We know what they think.
The comments coming out of their top, media trained, people show us time and time again.
There is absolutely no doubt that their public comments are toned down compared to their private ones, and those of their party’s supporters.
They need to get called out for their racism, their homphobia etc.
If not, expect to see them in power, sending back people living here legally and half a century of socially liberal progress disappearing overnight.

Reform is the only party that says what they really think.

Lot of people in denial that they’ll (bar some massive scandal) win the next GE.
It will happen if things continue on this course.

I find it inordinately depressing that a party like this continues to achieve such high polling figures despite recent scandals including a large number of councils under their control becoming totally non-functional, one of their senior figures being caught up in a case of open corruption involving our major global enemies, and just generally being a line-up of all the very worst dregs of the old Conservative party people apparently wanted to get away from.
All happening while on their one major issue, immigration, we’re seeing literally unprecedented rates of change entirely in the direction these people claim they’ve been begging to see, and now all of a sudden they just don’t really care apparently.
