The Financial Times did one of these “NYT focus group” things which users here really like but for Farage’s party in the UK.

Reform is the first far-right party to understand you need young techbros as candidates so people assume you’re popular with the youth and not just a party of boomers

>Mooney likes what Farage says, although she cautioned that his “cheesy grin” got on her nerves. “It just seems like what he says he’s more or less going to do. I know he’s saying what everyone wants to hear — I’m not stupid — but it just makes sense . . . I hope he doesn’t do what he did on Brexit — fronted it, and then gone. That was a bit of a shock.”
My favorite subgenre of conservative commentary is self-assurance of intelligence, followed *immediately* by inexplicable proof of its absence.

>Demetriou’s father was a Greek Cypriot refugee who ran a fish-and-chip shop. The family had little money, and Demetriou worked in the shop from the age of 14.
>Like his parents, Demetriou was a life-long Labour supporter, and voted Remain in the 2016 Brexit referendum. Yet his politics shifted during the pandemic, and his opinions have hardened since. He distrusts the media, and says much of his information comes via word of mouth and social media.
>Demetriou, who is married to an Indian woman with whom he has a 10-month-old daughter, said his biggest concern was immigration, “because ultimately that has a direct effect on everything else”.
>While he has doubts about whether Reform, if elected, could enact its agenda because of the “deep state” that prevents radical change, Demetriou is unhappy with the established parties. “Sometimes in life you have to give someone else a chance,” he said.
I’m on the floor, even the best kind of satire wouldn’t manage to be this funny

Basically half of these fuckers have voted Conservative for all their life, are unhappy about the consequences of that, and therefore want to vote for even more hardcore right-wing politicians. Like that mad twat who complains nothing has been built there since the early 1980s… Yeah wonder why that is pal! (I’d wager that his town has seen significant investment fwiw.)
Honestly it is infuriating that these are exactly the type of people politicians have pandered to for my entire adult life, and they’re madder than ever. Enjoying their triple locked pension and +600% house price and having their brains melted on Facebook so they think they’re victims.

Old people should be the most pro migration demographic, they should be pushing for open borders. But they chose to be racist instead

Haha one person under 60 interviewed. And he was 47.
The Reform voter base is overwhelmingly old, overwhelming white, overwhelming isolationist, overwhelming the opposite of this sub reddit.

Racism, just racism. That’s literally it, there’s nothing consistent about reform voters other than racism. They could get mugged by Farage himself in broad daylight and unmasked but if Farage said “I’ll punish Ahmed the Kebab guy” they’ll throw their arms up in joy even as they’re still being mugged
