KASSAM, London 2024 – Day 12: D-Day for Farage, With UK Expected to Elect Furthest-Left Wing Parliament Ever.

CLACTON-ON-SEA, England – It’s election day in Britain.

Last night, on the “eve of poll,” Reform Party leader Nigel Farage rolled out the big guns, quite literally, sparing alongside British boxing legend Derek Chisora in the morning, then hosting a massive rally on the Clacton Pier in the late afternoon.

Farage’s prospects in Clacton look good. He is likely to become a Member of Parliament, with a view to establishing a “bridgehead,” in his words, to either take over the UK Conservative Party or completely replace it.

His party looks set to win just a handful of seats, with the lowest estimations at just two and the highest around 14. There may indeed be some surprises on Thursday night/Friday morning, but single-digit seat allocation isn’t one of them.

Farage and his parties over the years have often, rightly, complained about the disparity between their performances at the ballot box and the apportionment of seats. Whatever happens tonight, expect that conversation to color much of the Reform Party’s commentary over the next few years.

Another will be the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), its state-sponsored broadcasting mandate, and the taxation that is levied on the British public to fund its reporting propaganda. Should Farage be given any committee assignments in the next Parliament, I would highly suggest the Department of Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) so that he can scrutinize the BBC.

If, by some twist of fate, Farage loses, it will raise questions over his electability, given Clacton is easily the most winnable seat for him, given its demographics and voting history.

Also, do not underestimate the dirty tricks the Conservative Party will play to try and stay relevant and not lose its place in history to Farage’s Reform – so much so that they will try to lure over Members of Parliament that Reform wins – in “defections” – by making them all sorts of offers.

At a macro level, the Labour Party will be the biggest winner of the night, and the country will, therefore, be the biggest loser of the night. Unfortunately, despite railing against mass migration and “wokery” over the past half-decade, the British public is about to elect the furthest left-wing government in its history – and Britain may never be the same for it.
