The UK General Election Is Turning Into A Referendum On The Performance Of The Parliamentary Uniparty

The UK election campaigning was uninspiring, dreary, depressing. The result (a huge Labour majority which nobody seemed to really want) was looking like a foregone conclusion given the seeming determination of the fake Cons to just hand over the governing baton to Labour, gifting them with as many seats as possible in the process. Then Farage took over the leadership of the Reform Party. Then he went on the BBC and told an abrasive Nick Robinson that NATO provoked Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Then the British establishment, media and politicians across the board totally freaked out and responded with a veritable outpouring of vitriolic faux outrage. Then we knew that Farage and Reform were bang over the target and we knew that something extraordinary was happening. The Uniparty was being questioned on major policy decisions: Net Zero, the war in Ukraine, but not Covid lockdowns and mass vaccinations. I doubt even Reform will dare to touch upon that last explosive issue. But two out of three ain’t bad.

It certainly feels like June 2016 again. It feels that the country is awakening once more to the fact that they have the rare opportunity to vote, if not for real change (Reform talk the talk, but we have yet to see if they can walk the walk), then certainly to give both cheeks on the arse of the Parliamentary Uniparty a bloody good kicking, which they thoroughly deserve. It feels to me that the forthcoming July 4th election is turning into a referendum on the performance of the Parliamentary Uniparty for the last couple of decades. We’re certainly seeing the same, if not worse hysteria being generated by the usual establishment suspects who are keen to preserve the status quo. The BBC have literally gone into meltdown in an effort to try and discredit Farage and Reform. They’re throwing the smear tactics textbook at them!

The referendum question is simple: Have the LibLabConGreens improved the country? Have they made it a lot worse? I think that when many people go to the ballot box in just under two weeks time, this general question will be foremost in their minds and they will vote accordingly, now that they have a choice.

July 5th will be an historic day in the United Kingdom, either for a depressingly, catastrophically bad reason, or perhaps for a surprisingly positive reason. We should get a better idea which it might be in the next 12 days.
