It's far more likely that Reform Ltd will go into the next GE with more than 5 MPs, because either they'll win a by-election or they'll gain a few seats from defecting Tories. This means from 6 seats on they'll get extra Short Money. Don't underestimate the far-right, #StopFascism.
Farage always has been an autocrat, it's the sole reason Reform is a Ltd Company & not a democratically run party - so that Farage can rule it as a CEO without question
Get into bed with shite and come out smelling like shite. The Orange bringer of verbal diarrhea and his mini me are a waste of the planets resources let alone oxygen.
"Oh no! We've discovered our party is a cross between a gigantic Farage-themed slush fund and a really odd cult, where nobody has a say except the Dear Leader. This is a complete surprise to us all!"
Sadly it's properly more because Elon Musk trashed talked him for not being rightwing enough and they're going to ditch him for an even more awful thing
I wouldn't be so quick to write Farage or Reform off. The article makes several comparisons to Trump as if that is unfavourable. Has the author forgotten that Trump just convincing won the US presidential election!
at least they stopped pretending they had no actual talent only for posting xenophobic opinion pieces in newspapers and in social media, unlike those UKIP MEPs who grifted the system for 20+ years
One of the flaws of far right groups is that they don't understand that more members means more compromise and consensus. The same is true of their religious counterparts, cults.
I don't have sufficient faith in the British, esp little england, electorate. RW press/MSM, particularly BBC,is desperate to get Farage into No 10. Joe Public is, generally, politically naive and unaware. It is also easily manipulated by this RW media, and now, of course, the far right SM platforms.

They make crap Councillors because they don't do the actual work.
