Is Reform as bad as the BNP?

[Silviasilvertoes]

Off the back of another thread, how does Reform compare to the BNP? I loathe Farage and haven’t taken much notice of his manifesto (contract!) as I don’t want his nonsense in my head, but DM keeps telling me what’s ‘good’ about him. She has previous form for voting UKIP and thinking Johnson was much maligned and a generally nice chap. She reads the Heil every day, so I generally let discussions about politics go over my head otherwise I’d lose my cool.

No he didn't. He fucked off when he was supposed to vote. 😂

I expect they would have had he turned up. I don't believe a forum where 28 (at that time) countries were debating rules proposed for the common good would be as argumentative as the UK parliament can be. It would have been a good case study though. Maybe it's why he never went.

So he or any mep are not held accountable unless they turn up to a certain threshold?.. Who holds them accountable?

Reform is a company, with Farage listed as the major shareholder. Any policies will have the interests of the shareholders at the forefront.

This alone should make voters think twice.

It's worse than the BNP. It has absorbed it's former members and masquerades as a 'political party for everyman' when it is actually a pro-fascist recruitment organisation designed to undermine the State. If you can't see this, read some history and change your mind.

BNP in tweed

And here you have your typical reform voter.

41 reform candidates found to be facebook friends with a far right figure. 1 candidate arguing we should have negotiated with Hitler. This is Reform. Make no mistake about it.

😂👌

Fascism4U. Coming to your local ballot box very soon.

Love it 😀 😂😀

Exactly this. The reform candidates are either ex ukipers or ex BNP members

I’ve seen Reform described as the bnp in a suit, and it seems pretty accurate.

The people who are actually present, debating the proposals.

It's quite hard being part of a discussion when you aren't in the same place as everyone else discussing.

For example, all the participants of this thread are having a nice discussion. People not reading, and not participating in the thread have no clue what we are talking about, and are unable to offer their opinion, or have it challenged. For the most part, as far as the EU was concerned, Farage fell into that latter category.

Yes they are the same.

Of course, there is always the possibility that, once elected, he wouldn't actually turn up to Parliament ever, just like he didn't for European sessions, so the whole thing becomes moot 🤣

No he wasn’t one of the Eurocrats there - he wasn’t anything there because he never showed up. But don’t let your adoration for a revolting chancer get in the way of the facts eh? 🙄

I've read their manifesto. It's fucking laughable and their maths would shame a 6 year old.

Farage hardly even attended European Parliament to do his job.

Yes, I think most pre schoolers have a better grasp of economics

If he's elected in Clacton he won't be there much. I doubt if he'll attend Parliament much either.

He'll be in the pub

He was on the EU Fisheries Committee and turned up to a single meeting of the 42 held while he was a member.

@Silviasilvertoes

in answer to your question ……yes.

And imo he just used his seat there to block anyone else getting it and stopping them working for the benefit of the British fishing industry. He then when to fishing communities in the UK, pointed the finger back at the EU and said 'look what they're doing'. So if you call doing your best to harm the UK being a good MEP, I'm sure Putin would agree with you.

Summed it up!
