Excellent post and a rebuff to recent comments that you are being too negative. Your talent is telling people what they don't want to hear but really should. I detect a new wind in your sails. I've just chipped in for an annual paid subscription. Money well spent.
But the Tories are a populist party, and have a long track record of failure in government over the last 30 years. They're also led by a Nigerian (yes, I know that she's 'British' by technicality). And, in Priti Patel they have a senior representative who was up to her neck in facilitating the 'Boriswave'. It's a hard no from me.
Great post, was thinking the same about six months ago when we had the farm protest. That was the time to start policy formation teams, each with a knowledgeable spokesperson and a group of experts, not necessarily tied to Reform. Half the effort would be listening and being seen to care about issues that matter in real life - farmers, fishermen, doctors, nurses, police, builders, even bankers and lawyers. I worry this may be too late as everyone is distracted by Carry On Clacton and a series of bear traps that may as well have been lit with huge neon warning lights.
I think you've hit the nail on the head , Reform needs to have clean out of branch officers who are tory infiltrators and head office needs sorting. Restore have been ruined by ethno nationalists and Reform by tory trouble makers .
The tories should never be allowed to govern again. Reform are our best hope but a lot of work needs doing before they're ready for government.
For Reform or Restore to poll confidently will require more than building the farming lobby.
People in city’s have discarded the Uniparty to vote for a party that represents them, not the farming or business community.
To that end energy, taxation and employment (I know it goes hand in hand with business but needs to be addressed from both sides of the equation) are primary battle grounds.
Logic makes a good impression.
By the time of the next election IF Burnham doesn’t dive in for one now, Trumps America economics will be evident.
It looks good now, in two years time?
Following Trumps economic policy /
supporting a mostly independent British owned and run business model will give city people hope.
Add an expanding military - a purported aim of all parties also with a determination to remove the lawless from our streets will provide both parties with a boost to their voter base.
There is an underlying anger at the Uniparty for their mismanagement of immigration and I expect there to be more atrocities as time ticks towards a general election.
That anger won’t be placated by a mealy mouthed Badenoch or a baby faced Burnham.

FWIW, right now, I'm tacking back to the Tories.
Farage psychodrama, bookended by Trump losing it in The Strait, means that my days of flirting with populism are over.

I doubt I'll vote, but Kemi is by a distance the most competent and impressive party leader IMHO.
She's the best presenter, sure, but whose script is she reading?
Conspiriloon?
Ah, you still have your blinkers on, eh? Ah well, get ready for further disappointment is my advice.
Mmm, the secret hidden knowledge that you alone have access to...
I suspected lack of substance with Reform, but your work has left me in no doubt, subscribed.
It seems more likely than ever that the LibLabGrnIslam coalition will be the outcome at the next election, so nothing to rejoice at.
Not enough independent policy thinking, Restore don't have a broad enough range of people at the moment. I don't think so anyway.
I would have thought Regorm do.
God help them when they get to social care policies, they will avoid it. Look what happened to Teresa May.
Social Care is a total mess. Alot ofvit is to-do with cost of public sector pensions, like the NHS.
You'll just have to keep plugging away Pete.
A good read as always. Part of me is made up for you that you're gonna come up on the right side of history.
For the ADHD/basketball types the takeaway needs to be that cheap, lazy populism is a fool's errand that leads us nowhere.
If it was that easy I'm pretty sure political disagreement would have been abolished once it had been tried...

Sorry I’m a little underwhelmed.

Upgrading to paid. You don’t tell me what I want to hear but you cut through the crap everyone else spouts and telling it like it is.
