Imagine.
Imagine a country in civilised Europe.
Imagine a country in civilised Europe where the usual major political parties are losing votes, as nobody deems them competent any more.
Imagine this country's population targeting a section of the community with cultural differences, blaming them for all its problems and wanting rid of them.
Imagine a far right wing political party stepping into the limelight and overtaking the major political parties in votes.
Imagine this far right party promising change for the better, trashing what the other main political parties stood for and promising to get rid of anyone who doesn't think like them or are the cause of the problems.
Imagine street demonstrations unfurling their nationalistic flags and symbols, hailing this far right party as amazing whilst the minority cower in fear.
Are you thinking of Germany in 1933?
Or The United Kingdom in a year or two?
And no friends to come and save us ....
ReplyDeleteIndeed. We are entering scary times.
DeleteIf it happens it will be another black moment in history but somehow I think it will not be so.
ReplyDeleteLet us hope common sense will prevail.
DeleteThis is a very apt and timely warning Addy but sadly no Reform UK supporters will ever read it - or if they do they just won't care. Sometimes the way we move forward can be like a runaway train.
ReplyDeleteHopefully there are more sensible people than there are Reform UK supporters or we are doomed.
DeleteNature abhors a vacuum, and so with the implosion in competence in managing things by the two legacy mainstream parties, it was inevitable that there would be others arising to fill the gaps. Not just Reform, there is the Corbyn led far left, the Muslim agenda MPs, the Greens, etc ...and SNP and Plaid Cymru in their respective countries.
DeleteWith all these splinter parties and with Scotland wanting independence, it will completely water down the two main parties and then there'll be no party with a majority.
