This would be serious, if it wasn't so funny.

Could I ask a question, the answer to which might provide a pointer to Reforms future?

Who recruited Zia Yusef?

I’m sure nobody believes it was Nigel. He has shown himself to be a control freak, sacking anyone he feels challenges his position.

Zia is much the same, if not worse.

What was the carrot that led to Nigels recruitment of someone he barely knew?

The answer to that might explain Nigels reluctance to act against him.

Perhaps they might bring each other down? Would that be the end of Reform? I think so. But Zia seems happy to risk that happening

A welcome boost for Torys and Restore certainly, with Reform reported as having only 30% loyalty with the rest happy to vote for the other two parties in equal measure.

It is true that so far serious effective protests against the misrule of the last 30 years has been ineffective.

When things great a lot worse that should change and it needs to be based on Gene Sharp's peaceful principles.

With the exception of the fuel protests in 2000. Blair was at the height of his powers but even he started to soil his underwear when fuel supplies dwindled.

Peaceful, meticulously organised, civil disobedience can shift events remarkably effectively. However, it can only be effective if part of a broader strategy with clear, unifying, political aims.
