I have a bad feeling about Nick Timothy. He was May's Joint chief of staff and has stated that his political inspiration comes from the Liberal politician Joseph Chamberlain. I think a large part of the problem with the current Conservative party is too many of their MPs and advisors are inspired by Liberal/"We know what's good for you" ideas.

Thanks for your enquiry. Globalist Elites and their hierarchical cohorts.

“In recent weeks I've criticised the Reform Party for its lack of an intellectual foundation.”

It seems to me no party even with an adequate intellectual foundation would stand a chance of succeeding without the backing of the GEs?

UKIP did spectacularly well to achieve Brexit. But what has Brexit achieved thus far? Brexit hasn’t the backing of the GEs.

Is the ultimate goal of the GEs wrong? Is it wrong for humanity to change course to exist more in harmony with nature?

The human race will not stand a chance of survival in the longer term unless it adapts to much more sustainability with nature. Put another way, without such change the human race is on a destination to extinction

To change the course of the human race requires direction on a global scale. Noone having been used to a certain standard of living is going to voluntarily adapt to a lesser standard.

Whether you wish for it or not, the age of democracy is over.

Be careful what you wish for.

I agree they will be a problem. They were for Andy Street. I agree with most of Reform's manifesto apart from the NHS and fox hunting. I argued with them 2 years ago that a Party needs to be run like a volunteer Army, needs cooks and bottlewashers, accounts and other trades especially when it has no boots on the ground just wannabees for the Officers Mess. The manifesto though. How do they intend to stop the boats, cancel huge HS2 contracts, bring back polytechnic colleges for trades people? They won't say so people won't follow them. They need to stand down from this next election or we'll end up with Starmer.

The problem with the Reform party is Richard Tice

Who keeps going to Ukraine.

One person out, One In.

1000 men are coming into the UK everyday, Big boats, Lorries, Euro tunnel and other ways.

All employed and paid for by the UN

WHO agreement will be signed

When Labour gets in Tony Blair will be running the country.

We will be going to war

Nothing wrong with Tice going to Ukraine, given many imagine Farage is there behind the scenes far more than he is... and Farage has a very real "Russia problem".

But the problem with Tice et al is I'm unclear what he actually thinks about many things. Does he understand that repealing all of Blair's "enabling laws" needs to be a campaign issue?

But to do that, it requires explicitly articulating the structural problems that need to be attacked otherwise it's all too arcane for the average voters to give a damn about. Explain *why* we have an immigration crisis, institutional wokery, ruinous refusal to frack & mine, a housing crisis (particularly that). These are ALL consequences of failure to even admit, let alone repeal, the underpinning laws causing them.

Reform needs to keep saying the reason you can't get on the property ladder is because of the way the market is regulated to discourage new builds. Too much toxic regulation provides disincentives to build or even rent more housing.
