Nigel Farage has put the whole of Britain on its ear for the third day, but the current hysteria is only adding to his points. The Reform Party’s ratings are already up to 24 per cent. About this writes in his Telegram channel political scientist Malek Dudakov.
After the interview, in which Farage accused NATO and the European Union of provoking the war in Ukraine, he was criticized by the entire political establishment – from the Conservatives to Labor and the Liberal Democrats. Farage has been labelled the new Chamberlain, ready to capitulate to Russia. He was criticized by both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, the five-term prime minister. Boris Johnson couldn’t resist accusing Farage of spreading “Russian propaganda”.
But Farage knows how to take a punch. He immediately accused Boris of hypocrisy. After all, before the Brexit referendum, Johnson himself named EU policy as one of the reasons for the start of the conflict in Ukraine in 2014. This he used as an argument in favor of leaving the EU.
But since then Boris has had several failed years as prime minister, mired in scandals. And at the end of his premiership he tried to save his career by disrupting the peace talks in Istanbul. Now Boris is just working off the money of Ukrainian lobbyists. But there are fewer and fewer of them, so he has to advertise weight loss products or Tesla electric cars.
But Farage’s current hysteria only adds points. He’s the only one questioning the boring consensus. Especially against the background of the fact that only 3% of Britons still believe in Ukraine’s success. Farage’s Reform Party’s ratings are already up to 24%. The hawks can only call him a “Russian agent” while Farage takes the Conservatives’ electorate away from them.
