Vote harder, it'll fix everything. /s You need to get active now, write to your representative, raise hell.

He's not a politician, that's what makes him different. I have hopes for him too, but I am skeptical about them allowing him in.

100%. They will smear and attack him all they can, but with the state of the country right now, if they tried to actually block him running, there would be a serious and severe backlash... we seriously are at a breaking point. The government knows it and that's why they're going full authoritarian. They're scared. We literally just had someone get their eyes stabbed out by someone the Tories let into the country. If the govt tries to block the guy who wants to fight against that, it creates a very volatile situation to put it lightly. As JFK said: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." Another element is, imagine they arrested him, or did something worse. Now he's a martyr. They will make his party and his movement 1000x stronger. History teaches us this time and time again. They'll throw any smears they can at him or they'll just ignore him and hope no one notices. None of it will work. He has a very good chance of winning if Great Yarmouth is anything to go by. And yeah he's the only guy I actually trust specifically because he's not a politician. Farage is slimy and just filled his party with the same Tories who caused the mess to begin with. Rupert Lowe actually comes across sincere like a human being. I wouldn't be surprised if Farage quit if Reform keep tanking in the polls. He's got a bit of a habit of doing that. And if that happens, the next election is practically handed to Rupert. Best possible outcome. Maybe that's a little too optimistic and I've just been watching too much Sargon but hey in this political climate anything can happen!

Completely in agreement with everything you've said here. The classic "first they ignore you" phase, and soon enough the panic will begin to set in. It's definitely an infection point for this country, and it is likely to become the deciding factor on whether or not I leave.
