“Far right”. Lol.
We could argue about the overton window or whatever but far-right seems descriptive given that he is to the right of our traditional centre-right party, the tories. The Reform manifesto was proposing completely dismantling the benefits system for example, which would be a “far-right” policy imo.
I agree with your other comments that he’s not a fascist though. Fascism is a really specifc political doctorine that basically claims that the needs of the state trump any specific individual’s needs. People online tend to use it like a blanket term to describe any opinion that they don’t like which is to the right of their own (ditto with “nazi”). The BNP were literally fascist, and there is a real difference between their position and the Reform one.
So that means he’s far right? 😂
He’s just a right-wing populist. The BNP, English Democrats, EDL etc are far-right.
Sure that’s what farage is calling the party, but that’s like saying North Korea is a democratic republic run by its people and not the autocratic dictatorship that it is, because that’s what the dictators call the country, and bad people wouldn’t just lie like that, would they?
Farage has a very well documented track record. He’s a far-right fascist, his party will reflect that with policy.
Populism is just a common tactic for fascists to get their foot in the door—literally the same tactics used by Hitler.
Farage even said in this election that the supporters of the parties you list have been drawn to reform. I wonder why?
For the international unaware:
