Its really irritating because these slacktivists will get angry at anyone who is new to the history of israel and palestine, then I ask them, how about sudan? do you support kurdish people having their own state? and then they get defensive like bruh, at least keep up with your double standard

Brief but important message:

Let me be very clear about this; The goal of this post is to expose the problems with the far-right in the UK. This includes; not actually putting British national interests first, homophobia, inefficacious economic policies, racism, xenophobic views, questionable ties, opposing what I believe are human rights, and targeting of racial groups and minorities. Feel free to analyse the post, and contribute to the discussion.

The goal is not to claim far-right voters are stupid, or that my political views are superior. With the current state of UK politics, I'd rather start my own party than to vote for the left or right.

With that being said; This is part one of my detailed look into the UK's far right, Restore UK tbc.

INTRO: What is the problem with the UK's far right? (Restore/Reform UK):

Normative claims, lack of empirical evidence, discrimination and lack of economic research. If you want detailed reports, people have honestly already inspected why Reform UK's policies are inefficacious, in way more detail than my post. Reform UK manifesto: a reaction | Institute for Fiscal Studies

Reform UK vs Employment Rights Act 2025 | Tom Street

I will be analyzing and dismantling every single one of Reform UK's 5 main policies, with Restore UK to follow, since they are even worse.

Reform and Restore UK do not provide any solutions or contribute to any fixes of the United Kingdoms main problems; whether its immigration, stagnant wages, housing crisis, and what I believe is just outright racist and homophobic rhetoric.

They actually make it worse, actively.

The scapegoating of minorities is especially important to note, since we as a nation built our democratic values based on the equal treatment of everyone, regardless of gender, sex, race, sexual orientation, religion and creed. When the party is threatening things that hurt the equality and rights of British citizens, including British women, based on their identity, choices and personal freedoms, leaving them vulnerable to discrimination that's where I begin to have a problem with them wholly.

(absolutely unacceptable to be vague about exactly how they would change legislation that may lead to women to receive less pay)

The biggest problem is their campaign claims and blanket statements attempt to assure people that they will "fix issues", while we are still waiting for detailed information on how they plan to tackle these things, especially when you advocate for changes to legislation and constitutional rights that have been in place for decades.

Honestly, I believe people just don't know what they are voting for in general.

Reform UK voters

Their ties to the Russian government are especially concerning, but we will tackle that later. Moving over to an analysis, detailed analysis, of Reform UK;s economic policies and how they are rooted in utter delusion.

(Please note that Reform UK barely explains how they are going to enact like, 90% of their policies. Most of them require restructuring that would cost British taxpayers billions of pounds, ironically, so I’ll have to speculate on how they would fix it, based on their own wording, and then I’ll have to provide a rebuttal to that fix, such as exiting the ECHR, which weakens our own constitution, opposing Northern Ireland’s Good Friday Agreement, etc…)

Reform UK's manifesto: 5 main flagship policies, and the exact data showing why experts consider them "delusional and populist":

1. Blanket Immigration Freeze: Stopping all "non-essential" (wtf is non-essential? why is it vague?) legal immigration to instantly ease pressure on public services, schools, and housing infrastructure.

• 2. Massive Personal Income Tax Cuts: Lifting the tax-free personal allowance threshold from £12,570 up to £20,000, in theory, lifting millions of low-paid workers out of income tax entirely.
• 3. The "Stop the Boats" Maritime Strategy: Legally mandating border forces to detain all illegal arrivals, process asylum seekers offshore, and physically turn small boats back to France.
• 4. Scrapping Net Zero: Completely abandoning all carbon emission targets and green energy levies, fast-tracking North Sea oil and gas drilling to lower domestic utility bills.
• 5. The NHS Private-Voucher Overhaul: Eliminating the entire healthcare waiting list within two years by issuing vouchers to send patients to private hospitals if the NHS fails to see them quickly enough.

PART ONE: Debunking Reform UK's manifesto:

1. Economy & NHS spending: Does the math math? Reform UK’s Platform vs. Economic Reality

Firstly, the public spending reductions, which the IFS & other independent economists studied and dismissed completely.

Reform UK economic policies analysis: Holyrood | Reform’s self-financing tax cuts ‘a mirage’, says Institute for Fiscal Studies

Do Reform's economic plans add up? - BBC News

To explain it concisely, reform claims its individual/personal and business tax cuts will instantly stimulate the economy and "pay for themselves" through rapid economic growth. This claim by Reform has been debunked by economists, and they are yet, just like most of their statements, to provide economic studies on how they would implement these tax changes, and how precisely they would help the economy.

>The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) calculated that Reform’s tax cuts would actually bleed the Treasury of roughly £90 billion per year. Reform claims they can plug this gap by slashing £150 billion in "government waste" and cutting the civil service.

Why it fails: Independent fiscal analysts have labeled this math "unserious at best" and a complete "mirage". Finding £150 billion in basic bureaucratic waste without savagely shutting down schools, firing police officers, or eviscerating public services is structurally impossible.

They want you to believe they can do this to cater to and appease the low-middle class, when in reality, the IFS showed that affording it is simply a delusion. I can claim I have fixes for world hunger, but then must prove how, rather than be trusted while providing no evidence."

Their NHS private voucher system is especially stupid, but the dedicated analysis of that will be provided further into the post.

In sum, this is the major trend with Reform UK: Make statements that appeal to the masses, the masses take it at face value since in theory they sound like good things, and then Reform (and Restore UK) fail under pressure to prove their claims with economic research papers, and repeat their populist claims to appeal to voters. The solutions however, are still to be provided by their party members. This is Populism 101.

2. The (legal) Immigration Problem

The thing about this entire argument is that immigrants are fiscal net contributors to the UK economy. I will also leave this document here to counteract the racist sentiment toward arab people.

Groundbreaking Report Highlights the Economic Contribution of British Muslims to the UK’s Growth and Prosperity, and the Risk of Exodus

The Fiscal Impact of Immigration in the UK - Migration Observatory

Before you look at low-wage fiscal impact and be like "AHA!", It is extremely important to note that even low-wage migrants contribute massively, and fiscal impact only accounts for income tax, which is counteracted by immigrants spending money on goods and services, which drives consumer prices down, and wages up by labor demand, making everything better. While being the single cause why labor shortages have not caused inflation to go up massively.

Impact of migration on UK consumer prices

This means that, immigration is complex, and there are obviously bad aspects, which means if you have to measure all metrics, from consumer prices, to the stabilization of labour shortages, and benefits to the local wages, measure benefits and where it hurts the economy, and then decide, is it net positive?

If we look at it overall, it is overwhelmingly good to the UK. But it is important to understand what overall means.

Lower migration is bad news for the UK economy - UK in a changing Europe

Everything points toward that being the case, and that immigration increases wages in most sectors, while only impacting them in low-wage jobs, which is extremely nuanced, as we need immigrants to account for labor and our working age population. Approximately 50% of bricklayers and construction workers in London and other major cities are migrants. Even if wages were negatively impacted (which they seem to either barely be, or to remain the same), the benefits and need to counter labor shortages still means they are net positive to low-wage employment.

Reform UK's idea to kick every low-wage migrant out is that we would face severe labor shortages, and that means that companies, real estate/construction companies that would be forced to pay higher wages to local workers, would have to price higher to maintain profits, essentially creating way bigger of problems than the current solution, which is proven to be net positive.

The Fiscal Impact of Immigration: Static and Dynamic Estimates for the UK

Existing evidence shows that immigration makes a positive contribution to the UK health service

Here are some sources you can look into yourself, and how the whole talking point that immigrants are drains on our public services, benefit system and etc, lacks in evidence. Reform UK is once again just pushing propaganda that hurts our economy in the long run. Including ways in which natives contribute less than immigrants.

I think the fact that low birth rates necessitate immigrants to help with the working age population so that the UK goes the opposite direction of east asian countries and how their aging population may cause catastrophic economic effects is important to note.

3. The NHS & vouchers

Reform UK: A clear threat to our NHS and the health of the nation – Keep Our NHS Public

Well, the previous point already shows how the way they look at immigration would damage the NHS, but I digress!

Now, keeping in mind that I'm someone with actual health issues that struggles to get appointments with my GP, this one is exceptionally personal. And they once again provide no evidence on how exactly they plan to implement something that concerns the health of millions of British citizens and residents.

They say that moving patients out to the private sector via vouchers will eliminate NHS waiting lists in 24 months. But once again, Healthcare analysts and the IFS have called the idea that you can wipe out the waiting list for £17 billion a year utterly delusional. We would have done this already.

The thing is that private hospitals do not have a magical separate supply of doctors and nurses. They recruit from the exact same pool of overstretched medical staff currently employed BY the NHS. Giving people vouchers merely shifts funding from public infrastructure, into private hands, while moving doctors away from state emergency rooms.

It is too in terms of logistics, extremely difficult for doctors in the public and private sector to coordinate between GPs and private clinics, which patients would be referred to, due to the amount of information that must be transferred. This includes: controlled substances and medication, surgeries and special needs when treating patients,, et etc... Which I have experienced, personally and many others who are reading this too.

It deepens the staffing crisis rather than creating new capacity, requiring the establishing of digital infrastructure to sustain this private-public healthcare proposition.

4. Leaving Net Zero

This is the 5th, or probably way more, instance of Reform UK either providing band-aid solutions that damage the economy long-term, and/or not providing any research into the subject matter.

In reality, energy would become more expensive and it would hurt the UK ​​​​Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock​ – CCC  - Climate Change Committee

Net zero is an economical benefit, it already employs about 1.1M people.

Reform UK's plan to scrap climate industries could destroy 500,000 jobs - Friends of the Earth Scotland

>Studies by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) show that leaving green transitions isolates the UK from international markets, which turns everything worse. Trillions of dollars in tech, energy, manufacturing, and engineering investments move with these frameworks, which means, by abandoning Net Zero, that global corporations would just bypass the UK entirely, moving their factories and future jobs etc, to the EU or the US instead.

Not only that, but like I said, this is backwards and would actually damage 1.1M jobs. 500k jobs would be killed in 3 years.

Reform UK's attack on renewables could wipe £92bn off economy | New Economics Foundation

Labour's net zero quest will cost working class jobs, unions fear - BBC News

>Real-world tracking shows that wind and solar power generation actively slashed wholesale electricity prices by 31%. Sticking with traditional fuels leaves households completely trapped by volatile global markets. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) calculated that just literally just one global oil and gas price spike costs the economy exactly as much as funding the entire transition to Net Zero all the way to 2050. In the same manner as immigration policy, economic policy, NHS policies and public spending/tax alterations, this is another policy which provably damages the economy and the quality of life of UK residents and citizens.

5. Deportation of asylum seekers, the Borders & illegal migrants

The decision to leave ECHR should be more obvious in the manner of how idiotic of an idea that is. Paired with weakening our own constitution, opposing Northern Ireland’s GFA, and weakening human rights stability.

Legally, you cannot enter another sovereign nation's territorial waters to dump migrants without their explicit permission. French immigration government branches have already OPENLY stated they will not cooperate with forcible turn backs. Attempting it anyway breaks international treaties, risks crashing flimsy migrant dinghies in open water, and creates more tension with Europe, the UK's closest trading partners.

PART TWO: Where is the Solution for the Housing Crisis?

While the overreliance on the premise that immigration is to blame for the housing crisis is cute, this is largely way more complex and provably fallacious. Immigration adds demand, but freezing it won't fix a crisis caused by decades of failing to build.

Dispelling myths about migrants and housing to the UK

In fact, we could freeze immigration for the next 10 years, and things would likely, overall get worse. We would still have a housing crisis. It is funny that people also talk about countries with lower migration having better housing, when the contrary is true, i.e. poland, portugal, greece, spain, etc...

The actual solution is to weaken NIMBYism and building more houses. And more state control of the housing market, like singapore/vietnam.

Reform's idea to kick out immigrants and the public's general belief that houses would just magically appear if you kick out immigrants is rooted in their lack of ability to understand how housing actually works, and why there is this problem to begin with.

Heavily recommend looking into Crisis homelessness charity - Together we will end homelessness reports on housing and what actually is the problem.

PART THREE: Miscellaneous:

The problematic ties to the Russian government, and why this is important:

Nigel Farage appearing on Russian propaganda TV shows is honestly baffling. 17 times, actually. You may think 'Why is this problematic though?', and that would be because we should not be for, support or take payments from governments who actively mobilize their minorities to frontlines in Ukraine, or appearing on Russian TV shows that had to be banned since they pushed propaganda that aimed to legitimize Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

For someone who is running to be the prime minister of the UK, which claims to uphold its democratic values and pro-human rights stance on almost every subject, to have ties such strong connections with Russia, and parroting Russian propaganda, is completely unacceptable by every metric.

PART FOUR: Where does this lead the UK?

Well, its complicated. The policies of other parties are honestly extremely questionable too, but the tendency of Reform UK's policies and party members to target laws that protect human rights, and party members being openly racist, homophobic, hating women, among others, should be huge red flags for people voting for them.

Please do your own research into who you are voting for, and their policies, before the next election. Posts by me may follow regarding other parties and their policies, which you can analyze.

I'd also urge you to look into US influence into our politics and epstein/russia ties to the right-wing.

I appreciate you for reading. And if you are going to respond to this post, if you support the right-wing, I hope you are able to address their total disregard of Human Rights issues, including LGBTQ rights, instead of cherrypicking what you care about.
