Come on then, what is it that you've "found", not "what do I sound like" (to you)?

Both have 3 branches of Gov’t.
If Donald Trump can come in and secure our borders and send Ice agents out in the streets to round up illegals then so can Farage.
And if you are gonna pipe up about the ECHR, you couldn’t ask for a more aggressive anti European entity than Farage.
There is a video of Farage explaining that the ECHR law that was passed clearly states that the UK maintains its sovereignty and control of its laws in this bill as written.Allow me to correct you.
Whatever flavour of government is in power, it is the state, not the government that actually implements the government's policies - but only if they approve; just look at the effort they put in to getting/trying to get Brexit overturned. They're still smarting like crazy from that one - how very dare the population have a say in how the state runs the country?
If the state (Be it the MoD, MoJ, Home Office, HMRC, etc.) decides to not play along, nothing happens.I disagree, Brexit proves the point. A referendum on the ECHR would be a second example.
Don’t underestimate the power of the people.
Brexit only got through because the people were pissed off with it dominating the headlines.
Boris Johnson caught that sentiment and got into power on the back of it, but even then the state was using every trick in the book - and then some - to try and thwart him; they came pretty close at times, too.
It wasn't "people power" that got Brexit over the line, it was simply a case of media fatigue - nobody wanted to hear about it 24/7 any more - either way.
I doubt that many those being asked to partake in a referendum for leaving the ECHR have the slightest clue as to what it does, so calling one would only create a tsunami of disinformation from both sides and, most probably a result not too dissimilar to the Brexit result and it's following state encouraged shenanigans.
Politicians are not the answer. Curbing the power of the state is.

I skip past the on line love affair between goose and nutsin most days as it is dull, juvenile and ridiculous.
However, the absolute TENACITY on display in not giving a millimeter is to be admired.
Them guns are being stuck to!

Absolute balderdash. The state will never allow Reform to introduce a single one of it's policies.
If you don't understand that simple fact, you don't understand British politics.I completely disagree with you! There will be change. You’ll see!Then you clearly have no concept of the power and influence the state running the UK has accumulated over the last 50 years.

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
I can read something which doesn't solve the problem. Nowhere have reform said they will deport british citizens by birth.
You may as well say you're waiting for Mickey Mouse to get elected because its about as relevant.
