@Arron_banks He’s a bitter man that will try and spin anything to suit his narrative. It’s not a good look for him, he’s in the gutter looking down at people. I used to admire him, not anymore.

@SandyofSuffolk @ReemAmirIbrahim Those hurty words from him would normally end up with imprisonment and being labelled a far right nazi, wonder why he hasn’t!

@LeeHurstComic I may be missing the point of these things too! What do they hope to achieve, does it go like this… ‘you see those idiots today, yeah, well we better free Congo, right, I’m on it, job done’

This seems to make sense below, after a quick search. It seems to be working according to the polls! Nigel Farage set up Reform UK as a limited company primarily for two reasons: 1. **Control and Flexibility**: By establishing Reform UK as a private limited company, Farage and his co-founder Richard Tice could maintain significant control over the party's direction and decision-making processes. This structure allowed Farage to make decisions quickly without the need for extensive member involvement or approval, which is typical in traditional political parties organized as unincorporated associations. This was particularly useful in the early stages of the party's formation when rapid decisions needed to be made to contest elections effectively, as noted with the fast-tracking for the 2019 European elections. 2. **Protection Against Hijacking**: Farage has stated that the company structure was crucial to prevent the party from being "hijacked by bad people." This implies a desire to safeguard the party's agenda and identity from being influenced or taken over by individuals with differing or opposing views, especially during its nascent phase when it was more vulnerable to such threats. These strategic decisions were influenced by the experiences Farage had with previous political entities like UKIP, where internal factions and member dynamics could significantly affect party direction. By controlling the shares, Farage could ensure that the party adhered to his vision and policies without the risk of a membership-led coup or significant internal dissent. However, this structure has been criticized for lacking democratic accountability, as members do not have the power to elect or remove leaders in the same way they might in a traditional political party. There have been indications that the party might transition to a more member-involved structure in the future, with Farage announcing intentions to relinquish control by giving up his majority shares and moving towards a company limited by guarantee, where members would theoretically have more say.

@mrsdepp_head @Vernia I think they are going to have to rely on an overall win because I don’t know how they could do a deal with the Tories as there would be too much of an uproar, especially with Tory voters that have switched. It’s a good point though

No deals, no pacts. The Tories can never be trusted ever again.
