Nigel Farage

[Maddie05]

Why do people vote for Reform and in particular Nigel Farage?

‘I don’t racially discriminate against non-white people who want to rent from me’ er yeah, I would hope not, as apart from anything else it’s illegal.

Trump basically doesn’t know what he’s saying! Apart from ‘bigly’

Well, for a start I agree with Reform’s pledges on net zero because they finally cut through the political groupthink and focus on what matters most: cost, fairness, and energy security. The current net zero strategy is costing us billions in subsidies and driving up bills for ordinary families, all while making almost no difference to global emissions. Britain produces just 1% of world CO₂. Meanwhile, countries like China and India are still building coal power stations at scale. Why should British households and businesses be hammered with higher costs for a target that won’t change the outcome?

So you want less taxes but more spent on defense and benefit. Another financial illiterate. Perfect example of why he is popular - jam tomorrow.

TACO. He hasn't followed through on sanctions on Russia. He didn't stop the war in 24 hours. Trump and Farage are a pair of charlatans and grifters.

Most people are angry and pessimistic about the direction of the country. The two mainstream parties offer no change to the status quo or vision for the future. Farage offers simplistic, attractive (to some) solutions to complex problems.

He’s an experienced, canny political operator. He understands what Reform need to do to professionalise, grow, and get elected.

Reform’s rise is almost entirely down to the failure of the progressive / liberal / left to properly address peoples’ concerns. I say that as someone on the progressive / liberal / left, who thinks Reform would be a disaster.

Without him, Reform would just be another minor right wing bunch of nutters who nobody would have heard of. With Farage they have themselves and English Trump, ready to lead us into a bright future where men can be men, preferably if they are white or orange skinned, and women can stay home barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, and all the foreigners can go home unless they are driving an Uber or grafting down at the hospital 🫡

So how do you explain the BAME and women that think that he is so great?

Every time i see him in the media my mind unfortunately thinks about how rank his breath must be with those awful teeth of his.

Because he's the parent who says you can have chicken nuggets and turkey twizzlers for your tea every night, and f*ck anyone who says you can't, and ice cream and sweets for pudding, and as much fizzy pop as you like, forever. That's kind of an analogy, but 👍

Maybe try and look beyond, someone’s appearance.
If he had a mouth full of veneers, would that make you less judgmental!

Not much of it is actually true though.

He offers simple solutions to complex problems, he’s going to reduce taxes and improve services and get rid of all that pesky foreign legislation that stops us drowning people in the channel as well! Although of course he can’t do all of that and if you look at who is backing him, financing him, turns out he’s not really a ‘man of the people’ at all.

He’s not really here to get rid of all those foreigners (because Brexit was going to do that except migration has gone up significantly since we left the EU), he’s here to distract us from the inequality that’s actually making us poorer, to protect the people selling us oil, seeking to buy up our assets, wanting us to be an isolated, low tax nation with weak labour and environmental protections. That’s the real mission. The EU is a pain because a strong trading bloc can push for stronger environmental protection, stronger labour laws, they can tax the digital economy and make financial transactions transparent, and what billionaire wants that?

Much better to blame migrants for falling living standards, ditch net zero targets, get away from that big powerful trading bloc.

Except green energy is cheaper, but for some reason (I imagine some very powerful lobbying) we have energy prices linked to the cost of gas, regardless of where that energy is produced. If we went for regional pricing we’d all have lower bills.

Nigel Farage said ‘Andrew Tate is an important voice for men.’

Any women voting for him are turkeys voting for Xmas.

Fortunately I am blessed with enough braincells to understand that he is a man who says a lot of things with little intelligence.

He's positioned himself as the common sense, straight talking man of the people, and he says what people want to hear. The fact that he only has, as a pp has already pointed out, simplistic solutions to complex problems doesn't really matter, any more than his actual views being against the interests of his core supporters matters when there's an enemy to rise up against. 'Illegal' immigrants today, other minorities the next. Maybe even some of the patriotic chumps scribbling inept red crosses onto road markings, if their faces no longer fit. Women, certainly, are not a priority.
They won't believe that, of course. They're standing up for their country. They're not useful idiots, no siree.
Fucksake, Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, Greens, Nats, PC, everybody, do better. No point trying to out-Farage this cunt. People have fallen for it. You might think time is on your side, but he can say the same thing.

The Tories self destructed. Voters had a choice of moving to the right or the left. Some moved to Reform.

Also, he has 18 hours per day of party political broadcasting on GB News. GB News is not a news channel. It's a Reform mouthpiece.

I don't even think he wants to be an MP let alone a PM. He just wants to be a disrupter.

Who's funding him? Those are the people who want to either sow chaos or pull the strings to make us more like America. Private healthcare and pharmaceutical companies for a kick off.

I don't think Trump wanted to do the work of a president he just wanted to be voted in by everyone first term for his ego. Now he's hellbent on revenge for what he's telling everyone was the stolen election in 2020. And his other motivation is avoiding prison.
Farage's motivation is the grift.

Both of them are lazy but have something about them that people seem to feel is the answer "he hates the people I hate!" And they both likely have people behind them steering them. People vote for them both because they are "famous" to a large extent. The media here and in the USA are obsessed with Farage and Trump respectively. And have given them large amounts of coverage in the past.

Meanwhile Putin laughs his arse off at he can run rings.

Farage Just's peddles the idea that your problems are because of someone else. Not your fault. Don't take personal responsibility. The current stuff with migrants is just an easy "other" to blame.

I have no idea why people think he's the saviour but , he does speak in words of one syllable so he speaks to the less educated and critical thinking

Because he's not Labour, who have doubled the national deficit in a year, tried to screw over disabled people, pensioners, children and come October taxes will go up, inflation is up and job losses are hugely up so yes he isn't Labour, i can't believe that people still think that Labour are doing a good job.

I think he does care. A lot of people will vote for him as a protest vote at the next election unless Labour ups it’s game.

Regardless of his views, he is a good speaker and people listen and relate to him.

Not saying I agree, but that’s why.

Ok, if you’re that intelligent, why resort to criticising someone’s appearance, it’s about politics surely, not how someone looks.
