Alternative Conservative Politics

  • Alternative media in Trump world

    The rise of alternative media means more than meets the eye. For those who rely on it, it’s their average news intake.

    However, it’s gone unnoticed in many respects.

    It’s considered “toxic”, which is another way of saying puerile, cheap, and objectionable.

    It’s also said to be immoral.

    The larger figures in mainstream press say it harms democracy. It could lead to the end of elections, they say.

    Alex Jones – InfoWars

    This is a narrative played out against figures like Alex Jones, who cuts his teeth on any conspiracy theory he lays his hands on.

    The point is not that it’s true, but it’s coming true.

    The followers of this sort of media say they now see the world unfold before their eyes in logical order.

    The reality may be more sketchy, but it satisfies a hunger.

  • Reform UK bulk up

    Reform UK is taking Parliamentary life in its stride. It’s also expanded its scope institutionally across the UK. In recent days Nigel Farage MP has announced new branch chairs that shows a rapid expansion of a years old barebones outfit.

    The party now claims to have over 120 branches. A promotional video available on social media introduces some of those who now front the party at a local level with hopes to drive it forward.

    The new faces also join a small cohort of councillors moving to the alternative party after its recent election successes. Lee Anderson MP introduced these local representatives from England and Wales on his social media profiles.
