IN today, sarcastic Britain, is supposed to be difficult. Deep national problems must be solved, but voters are patient and are often despised by politicians. The previous mistakes are rarely forgiveness. The promises are treated with suspicion. Policy costs are examined and often resent. Attempts to define priorities, such as reviewing government spending this week, face an endless interrogation.
Meanwhile, differences within political parties are seen as signs of weakness and division. Representatives with external interests are seen as greedy and not committed. As for the minority that escapes these pressures for a long time to get a large profession – voters are usually bored with them. Few keeps his interests exceeding dozens or so.
Nigel Farage became a political first elected in 1999. Since then, disappointment has increased from his profession to most likely levels. However, it appears that a few rules of unforgettable British policy, if any, apply to it, or to the last of his car, reform the United Kingdom. It seems that it plays politics in an easy situation.
The emergence of rare rumors, for him Extravical activities are prolific productionThe internal culture of its chaotic party and its plans to “reform” Britain is largely theoretical. Its only concrete political achievement is Britain’s exit from the European Union, which is now widespread in catastrophic or disappointing.
In a country that is often said he had enough concession of the capital, he is a rich and educated man from the private sector who used to work in the city of London. In a country that is supposed to be sick of political hatred, he will constantly fall with colleagues. In a country that politicians are supposed to be more humble and better in apologizing, his general way is satisfied with the self and unresponses.
However, since winning only five seats in last year’s elections, UK reform Increase in political conversation. Farage’s continuous speeches and press conferences, which are completed with smiles and self -raising jokes, receives huge coverage of a small Westminster party. A few work policies or conservatives feel that they are designed without actual or potentially likely. Since the traditional major parties have declined in the polls, the reform has exceeded them. The power has become a possibility.
No new British party did this. until exhaustionWith the trade union movement, it lasted a quarter of a century of its institution to reach the government. Why does it seem that reform finds politics very easy?
The usual way to explain its rise is through the troubled state of the country, the shortcomings in the main parties and the talent of Farage to exploit political and social crises. All of this has played a big role, but they have less examined factors.
The design of our political system is one of them. It is supposed to be hostile to new parties, in fact, it can be very hospitable for them if its popularity has not yet been reflected in Parliament, and therefore they can avoid the roles of difficult rumors. Since reform is not the official opposition, Farage does not have to ask the prime minister’s regular questions, and it is not necessary to build a coherent criticism of the government – and thus expose itself to possible counter attacks. While Kimi Badnouch is struggling for the garbage Kiir Starmer government, and Starmer shines in government governments in response, Farraj can, apparently, apparently over Westminster.
Only one year deputy, he barely has a record of rumors or electoral district that opponents can attack. He and the reform can be the opposition in the uncontrolled and powerful sense instead of the parliamentary opposition: as a warehouse of hopes and fantasies of a wide range of voters that could be saved the country – “reformed” – by a completely different government.
Something like this happened before, with the creation and summary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the early 1980s. Allied with the liberals, SDP won depression and It rose before the Labor and Craftsman in the polls. Some have predicted that the SDP will replace the work, because some expect that the reform will replace the conservatives now. However, unlike the reform, the SDP has been established by familiar public figures, and all the ministers of the former Workers Party, and this association with the main current means that its new and rebellious feeling cannot be sustained. Her popularity faded.
Less related to Westminster, repair may be more difficult on the existing parties by suppressing or participating. FARAGE also has an unavoidable feature for SDP: strong right -wing media support. In order to obtain the policy you want, or to obstruct the policy you do not want, this historically dominant part of the media always supports a right -wing party. With the incompetence of the Conservative Party, the current bad leadership and the last terrible registry in the government, reform appears to be a better possibility. While it displays itself as a rebellion against the fixed system, its anti -immigration and anti -diversity policies seek to protect or restore traditional social structures. It is easy for journalists to support conservative.
What may make the life of reform more difficult? maybe, The compulsion to the management of the councils that she won In the local elections in May, during a period of narrow public spending. However, given the ability of reform to evade responsibility, it is also possible to blame problems in its councils on the government instead.
Farage may finally start old, politically, because it becomes more than one player in Westminster, and also participates in the problems of his deprived credit circle, Clacton in Essex. 21 years old he maintained a somewhat member of the European Parliament – such as the transformation of his movement from the UK Independence Party to the British exit party from the European Union to reform the United Kingdom – where a few British followed its procedures. Now, as a local politician, he gets more continuous propaganda. Although it seems to enjoy it, it may bring excessive exposure. In the latest opinion polls, The popularity of reform has stopped.
But waiting for him and his party to lose their modernity, is a risky and negative strategy for reform opponents, with the upcoming elections four years away. Anxious active activists and the election strategy are increasingly talking about strengthening the message of “stopping the reform”. However, the Labor Party has weakened its anti -repair credentials at times Echoing its language and policiesThis message may only be echoed with a sufficient number of voters if the work constitutes a kind of electoral alliance with more continuous anti -reform forces: the liberal vegetables and democrats, and perhaps even Cymru squares, the Scottish National Party and the leftist independents. This will be an unknown land for the tribal labor party. But with the reform that has a rise that our political and electoral systems did not expect, we are in an already unknown area.
