Reform UK as an entity has surged in its popularity. It has become a contender in UK politics. However, it’s not an inevitability.
The start was rocky considering many of its key figures have faced relentless abuse. It’s not an easy gig, politics, but it didn’t need to be that hard. However, it has come through strongly.
The trouble is that a bad argument is a tight one – and it’s an easy one to repeat. This becomes the bugbear of many as they seek a hearing for what they have to say, no matter the initial reaction.
Yet, the repetitive slander is the refrain that seeks defeat in the moment, and every time. This is what Reformers have faced.
The definitions of wayward words aside, the party has got to show that it has got the balls to win. This takes as much virtue – and valour – as any other politician here has had to show in their time.
