Nigel Farage is staged as a rescuer of the UK. The right -wing populist benefits from the government crisis in London while he conference his party in Birmingham. Who chooses reform UK?
Nigel Farage had his first big appearance before the big bang in Westminster. Protected by body guards and surrounded by fans and photographers, the British right-wing populist triumphantly through the large exhibition hall on the first day of the annual conference of his reform party. “Is that nigel?” Asks an older woman from a little further away – and excitedly pulls out her cell phone.
Here, on the exhibition center in Birmingham, where the reform conference goes to its second and last day today, the 61-year-old is revered as a savior of Great Britain. Regardless of his mood against migrants and everyone who does not share his nationalist politics. In surveys, reform has been ahead of the Labor government party for months and the conservatives. The established parties with as great concerns are considered by the established parties as in Germany the rise of the AfD.
“Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister,” call hundreds of supporters shortly before the 61-year-old, accompanied by pyrotechnics, enters the big stage for the first time. Farage, the Brexit pre-fighter, is celebrated like a film star, and on Friday he was also very lucky with the script.
Farage took advantage of the government crisis in London by resigning Vice Prime Minister Angela Rayner. In the Labor cabinet in London, almost 200 kilometers away, only designated non-known non-artists saw, according to the tenor of the reform manager, who sees his time now. Farage wants to become prime minister and with him Great Britain would become another country. The election is actually only in 2029, Farage is now hoping for 2027 because of the crisis.
Corruption and deportation
“We are in the cultural decline,” said Farage during his speech. He experiences it on the street. “People point to me and say that you are our last chance to bring this country back to the right course.” The right course from a reform perspective is: foreclosure and deportation. To his favorite topic, to the irregular immigration of small boats on the English Channel, Farage said: “We will stop the boats within two weeks of an election victory.”
Although the number of migrants over the English Channel only makes a small part, messages about records play reform in the cards. A few days ago, Farage presented his idea to have all the people coming across this path immediately deported again, regardless of the consequences in their homeland.
“Make Britain Great Again”
“I’m afraid of my children and grandchildren,” says a middle -aged woman. The problem is the large number of men who come irregularly to Great Britain. She cannot give examples from her everyday life, the feeling predominates. A man in the forties says that Farage would make Britain big again. “Make Britain Great Again” is the dogma that the supporters of US President Donald Trump also use for the United States.
A 22-year-old is somewhat more differentiated. He is primarily concerned with the problem on the housing market, apartments have to be affordable again, he says. There is not “Make Britain Great Again” on his hat, but “Let’s Save Britain” – let us save Britain. Farage is the right one for that, says the 22-year-old.
The young man emphasizes how much he is disappointed with Labor and the conservatives that both parties could not solve the problems. He has been a member of the UK reform since 2024. The aversion to Labor and the conservatives connects him to many other people at the annual conference. According to information from the party, 6,000 members of the first speech of Farage on Friday listened – several may have changed the camp.
