The only way to stopper Reform UK’s anti-establishment, far-right proclivity for perverting our fundamental political practices is to hope for Farage’s success in Clacton. Some of Reform’s cousins have trod this path many times: Alternative für Deutschland, MAGA, or Rassemblement National, all use the same method. The implicit goal is to erode the average voter’s faith in the system, and with it increase the belief that establishment parties take average voters for granted.
