I suppose looking from the outside it's tempting to think that these are the same shysters who told us that Brexit would be a brilliant idea, whereas it has mostly been a shitshow while a lot of these people have managed to line their own pockets from it - why would anyone fall for the same shite twice?

but the underlying issues that led to brexit are still there. its harder for regular people to make a decent living while the rich get richer - and they don't think that the status quo of labour or tory will ever change this, so its a protest vote.

I think a reform government would be an absolute disaster for the working man though - low tax and cut backs to public services. Austerity +
Reform would be Tories on steroids but without even a semblance of administrative nous. These "hard working" tradesmen types who are attracted to Farage like flies to shit will be seriously disappointed or worse if Nige's mob ever blustered their way into power.
