For the first time in recent political history, a political party, Reform, is going to contest every seat in the Country in the Council elections ….well, every seat except 4 to be exact – 99.8% of the seats, due to a fantastic effort by the Reform HQ team, not least the efforts of Zia Yusuf who was in just 9 short months set up over 400 branches of Reform local branches.
Last Friday’s rally of thousands of supporters in Birmingham showed the sheer strength of Reform’s surge. The party is to contest every vacant seat in the forthcoming council elections, a slew of candidates has been announced for the Mayorals and already a win for Reform is being touted by the pundits in the Runcorn by-election. In poll after poll Reform is either top or joint top or just behind Labour. The Tories are nowhere.
The Party now desperately needs various new teams:
(i) a Policy Team,
(ii) a Team 180 (planning the first 6 months (180 days)of Government, something that New Labour created ahead of Tony Blair’s election,
(iii) a Team of Shadow Spokesmen (both Junior and Senior), specialists in their areas, who will make the Reform Party look like a government in waiting. Unusual appointments are likely in Reform, such as doctors appointed as spokesmen for Health, lawyers as spokesmen for Justice etc.
Some members will sit on more than one of these teams.
They will require a very detailed and comprehensive research department briefing the spokesmen so that they can talk precisely about the issues, sounding suitably knowledgeable because they are, having been properly briefed! In this Reform era, appointment on merit will be the only criterion to avoid the dire state of information and knowledge currently available to the Uniparty which had led to the the abysmal standard of knowledge in today’s parliamentarians, the result of decades of DEI appointments by the Uniparty.
it is widely expected that after May 1st it will be impossible to call Reform a mere protest party and civil servants will need to start planning for a Reform government with Nigel Farage entering 10 Downing Street after the next General Election.
Ann Widdecombe says that Reform’s surge is too big to be ignored and despite some news stories that not all the 15,000 seats were filled, partly due to transport issues and the threats of violence outside the venue from social-terrorists such as ANTIFA, the crowd was visibly bigger than anything the other parties manage or have managed since the times of Margaret Thatcher and even in Scotland, Reform is rapidly moving to the most popular party.
