Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

This is one of Reforms big challenges. How do you go from basically a nothing protest party that nobody really cares about outside 1 or 2 issues to a serious political force. That includes having to find thousands of candidates in the space of a few years to contest every local and national election. They will need a far more robust vetting process than they have employed to date.

They also don't seem to have any detail on their policies. Like Brexit it's being run on slogans and not actual ideas.
 
No that was us a few years ago.
We haven't faced that issue yet. But we are facing it in the next 5 years if Labour don't bring big cuts back to the table. The big issue with France is the size of their budget deficit, which the UK also faces but the amount France has to cut is far higher and the impact of those cuts greater. Getting the cuts required through their Parliament is proving politically impossible. 1000016054.jpg

I mean they do have a 28 page policy document on their website, but in this day and age you don't capture the majority of people's imaginations or win elections on detail. You win on vision, message and confidence.

It seems pretty clear to me: a return to Victorian times (coal powered, huge social inequality, no women in public life, completely white, unchecked capitalism, no health & safety or workers rights, culturally sexless), run by Toad of Toad Hall
