Sir keir has it right

Given the voting system Farage has done remarkably well, both with UKIP and Reform UK. 

You talk about anti far-right and far-right, but who are these protestors? In recent months we have all seen aggressive left wing protestors waving Hamas/Palestine flags, but in all honesty I havent seen much evidence of far-right protestors, far-right being fascists and Nazis. Or, in your opinion, is anyone who doesn't vote Labour far-right? I'm against mass immigration and I passionately want illegals who cross the channel sent back to France. In your opinion does that make me far-right?

For all the reasons I've mentioned many times previously PR would be a disaster for this country, FPTP is far from perfect but it's preferable to endless weak coalitions, and the only people who regard Farage as 'toxic' are people who don't like him, lefties. Are you forgetting that Reform UK is just three years old yet 4¼ million people voted Reform. No new party in British political history has ever achieved five MP's in three years. 

Farage has shown time and again he is bloody good at what he does, had it not been for Farage and UKIP the referendum would not have happened and I'll let you into the worst kept secret in Westminster, Labour and centrist Tories for that matter, are not looking forward to Farage standing up in PMQ's for the next five years making statements and asking questions that Starmer would rather not listen to, or answer.

You know perfectly well thanks to mass immigration and net zero that this one term government is likely to be the most unpopular government in living memory, as such the Tories will move back to the centre right because that's what people will want. But if in the unlikely event that people like Billy Hague and others get their way and the Tory party remain centrist, there will only be one winner, Farage and Reform UK. 

One day the political establishment might, just might, accept the fact that people are sick of mass immigration or the fact that Farage is the only politician who speaks against it. Go figure...
