I remain in Clacton, where Nigel Farage was elected an MP last night on his eighth attempt. Reform UK won four seats. That was a relief, some recent polls had suggested the party would get no seats.
Nigel Farage has made it clear for weeks that this election was only the start of a journey of building a mass movement behind his party, with a view to becoming Prime Minister in 2029 at the head of a Reform UK government. If anyone can do it, he can. And we hope he will.
It goes without saying that the ‘first past the post’ system has delivered to Reform far fewer MPs than the proportional representation system would have. The only other European country that uses this system is Belarus. We can confidently expect Reform to have the introduction of PR as a central policy position.
Reform UK can potentially add millions of votes to its tally in 2029 if it embraces a number of policy positions. The most obvious one would be to introduce legislation to end the scandal of children being denied access to one parent (almost always the father) following family breakdowns. Denial of access is not only child abuse, it’s abuse of one parent and up to two grandparents and four great-grandparents. That’s abuse of up to seven voters per abused child.
We’ve offered to support Reform with policy development, and hope to be working with them over the coming five years.
