I disagree. I think it’s naive to assume any leader of an anti-establishment party could achieve breakthrough in the British media by behaving a certain way. That sort of success is a lottery. Better to work steadily, building community from the ground up, ready to capitalise when you get some luck.

You are wrong. Just look at Reform flying high in the polls. Green Party haven't moved an inch in the polls since the last election and are going nowhere under their current strategy and leadership. Wouldn't be surprised if they lose seats at the next election under the current trajectory.

Reform aren't an anti-establishment party. They have the billionaire-owned media & fossil fuel corporate funded think tanks & pundits constantly arguing in their favour. There are plenty of firebrand populist spokespeople & campaigners on the left, but it doesn't automatically lead to mass support.

Of course they are not but they are pitching as anti-establishment which is what people want and Nigel Farage is 10x a better communicator than Denyer or Ramsey who most of the country have never heard of. It's a huge problem which will keep the Greens at 8% or less in the polls until addressed.

Farage is not in any way a better communicator, he gets media coverage because of what he's saying not how he's saying it.

Sorry but that's naive
