I actually hope Reform UK Ltd do well in the upcoming local elections, because it's extremely instructive for people to see how they perform in government in situations where the damage can at least be somewhat geographically contained, before we lock ourselves in to five years of frog faced fascism in Downing Street.
I understand your point, but I'm even more pessimistic.
It's obvious to anyone that #Farage is a bargain-basement Donald Trump. It's obvious that #Trump is a disaster, both within and outside his own country, just as Farage has been. But both men still have enough support to cause real electoral damage. Yes, #ReformUK would be an utter fiasco if they had widespread control of local governments, but I'm no longer sure it would make much difference to their chances at the General Election: they'd just explain it away, blame it on someone else, or outright lie about it.
Hell; handbasket; tickets, please!
