This video is worth the watching (though it is nearly 30 minutes long). It is a program from Channel 4 that explains how Reform gets their funding.
We are considering how they might manage our Government and oversee the governance of what matters to us – including our pensions which they intend to involve themselves, if voted to power.
I find Reformation’s definition of “untoward” is flexible. It can mean whatever Reform wants it to, provided that Reform can get away with.
Except this “sting” is fresh and follows earlier accusations which are being looked into by the authorities. They have led to a decline in the popularity of Reform.
Reform’s lead in the polls has withered in recent months. Polling by YouGov showed that the words voters most associate with Farage are “racist” and “liar”.
Reform has denied all wrongdoing once again. But the sting will overshadow the party’s annual conference in Birmingham this week, where it was already battling to shake off revelations about its finances.
These tactics of Reform may have worked with Donald Trump in the USA but will they work with Nigel Farage in the UK? That depends on how much weight you give to popularism’s place in our society.
From a pension point of view, if we consider this kind of behaviour acceptable , we might as well tear up the pension funding rules!
