Just as I had thought it inconceivable that the USA could elect President Trump 2.0, until they did, I find the very notion of Prime Minister Farage unconscionable. But opinion polling makes it seem as though the great British electorate does not share my revulsion. Which leads me to wondering how we can correct that apparent aberration. PM Starmer seems to share my view, correctly characterising Farage/Reform as “the enemy” and a real threat to the prosperity and well-being of our nation. I hope Sir Keir’s political strategy team have something uptheirsleeve.
The example of Trump makes me wary too. We all thought (at least before the election was getting near) that people would “see through him” the second time.
