UNN campaigner David Clews (AKA "the Emperor") has concluded that since Reform is (currently) the only game in political party town, then we should all join and support it as a possible vehicle for effecting the change to UK governance that is so obviously required.
As I have stated many times, this site does not do party politics. The reason that we don't is that party politics is fundamentally a charade to entertain and delude the masses, and to offer hope that a new party might make a breakthrough. It won't, at least not unless the hidden powers that control the parliamentary parties (and much else besides) have somehow been taken down without us noticing, and if it does it will be taken down or taken over, probably from within.
Nigel Farage, for all his many qualities as a popular politician, has the appearance of a serial wrecking ball of his parties. And to my jaundiced view, he has never run a political party along democratic lines (although perhaps UKIP came close; probably too close).
Now, none of that is to say that as a tactical move, David Clews isn't onto something. The Lord moves in mysterious ways and isn't afraid to use failed humans for His purposes (to adopt a Christian metaphor, as the UK still notionally has a Christian heritage).
None of us know how the future will unfold or what tactics may have the best chance of success in restoring honest just and effective government to our country, so it's up to all of us to contribute to that project as we think best. We are sure to learn something from the experience, probably a great deal.
It's always a good idea to 'make something happen', but we should act with our eyes open.
