Advance UK/Ben Habib

[quigonjay]

Considering the amount of politics that gets discussed in here I am very surprised this topic has not been started yet.
It seems at the moment that Reform have the traction but it is a long time until the next general election and do not believe Nigel Farage is the right man for the job.
Maybe some people have still not heard of Advance UK yet which is quite possible as they are not even a registered party yet, just in the process of registering.

Watched a lot of interviews lately with Ben Habib (former deputy leader at Reform/MEP) and I like what he is saying, he will certainly be getting my vote.

Like religions, nine out of ten new ones fail in their first year.

I'm not sure there are enough angry white blokes to keep two right of centre parties alive?

There is no one who comes within a trillion miles of Our Nige.

Every single other contender is either a no mark or criminal and usually both.

Good luck to him, but he's a long way away from sufficient traction to matter.

Angry right-ish blokes of other ethnicities are widely available.

Angry right wing females have had the vote for about 100 years now.

If reform is just for angry white blokes, there's a whole venn diagram for another new party.

At the moment, yes that is true, but was only started about 4 months ago. Ben set the target of 30k members before they started the process of registering with the election commission which was achieved faster than any other party in our history.
He has the support of Tommy Robinson and his millions of followers and also Elon Musk if I am not mistaken. So once they are registered and release their manifesto and start campaigning I think everyone will be surprised at how quickly that traction swings in their favour.
