Exactly!
Right wing populism is not a “policy position”
It’s a
“Direction of travel”
Impossible to satisfy because it thrives on
fear,
outrage and
the unceasing demand for ever more extreme ‘action’ (aka persecution) against ever more absurd scapegoats!

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied
