I've figured out how The Establishment will try to foil Farage
They are low on options. Which means they will do something drastic
Lawfare. Scandal. Proscription.
All devices used by the establishment in Europe in an attempt to block Populist parties from power.
As the legacy parties gaze upon their tumbling support they must be wringing their hands as to what they can do to Barrage the Farage.
Latest polling now has Reform UK not only on course to win the next General Election, but do so decisively, with some estimates suggesting the party could gain more than 300 seats with Labour down to a whisker over 100 and the Conservatives on as few as 15. From centuries of being a two-party duopoly, we could suddenly become a one party state. With that sort of numerical muscularity, Farage would have free reign to flood the zone and oversee some of the greatest legislative changes in generations. Exactly the sort of political revolution that would have the establishment flailing in panic.
The situation is not just dismal for Labour and The Tories, it's desperate. And desperate times require desperate measures. So what will those measures be? I think I've sussed it out.
