The problem with FPTP is that you can’t just vote based on policies.
You also have to consider who is most likely to win the seat and whether you have to vote AGAINST who you don’t want rather than FOR who you do want.

If you watch the linked video, it talks about Farage trying to ally himself with Powell and Powell rejecting his advances. So yes, you’re correct. My point was the Tories had a vocal racist in their ranks, and they kicked him out. A racist that Farage idolises.
The Tories are scumbags but at least they have (or had) a veneer of some kind of morals about them. Farage doesn’t have that quality, so to say he’s reminiscent of a 90s or 00s Tory is raising him above his station. Even if it’s an incredibly low bar to begin with.
He shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a position of power.

Just a classical racist, authoritarian, immigrant hating, war justifying, commodity trading tory from the 90s or 00s. Perhaps like Enoch Powell? Although he left parliament in the 80s.
Only handy if you live in England or Wales, sadly.
The party also said it would change the law to make gender recognition a reserved matter which only the UK government could legislate on, a reaction to the row over the Scottish gender recognition bill, which was blocked by Westminster.
“Just in case those uppity Scots try to make a safe haven in our fascist dystopia.”
