Can Farage Fix the UK?

Letters from O'Brien #54

Dear Mr Smith,

I’m asking myself one question today - can Nigel Farage fix the UK?

While things seem to be getting worse in the UK, there appears to be a ray of hope in the form of Nigel Farage. For many years Farage has been a popular figure. His nationalist rhetoric and populist approach to politics has given him a good reputation. In the past he was relegated to the shadows for his opinions, but over the past year doors have opened which now allow him to potentially lead the UK in the near future, alongside his party ‘Reform UK’. But the question I have is will he be able to change anything?

What must be understood about Farage is that he doesn’t conform to the Straussian social worldview. This puts him at odds not only with the progressive parties, but also with the Conservative party, which is currently facing what may be its greatest defeat ever. Both Labour and the Conservatives have liberal values at their foundation. While Labour may outwardly express an anti-western worldview, the Tories have facilitated arguably the largest mass-entrance of people into the UK in its history. Over a million people are now entering the UK annually, while even ‘regime approved’ statistics admit that in 2023 over 600,000 immigrants entered.

Both major parties in the UK - just as in the US, Australia, Canada, Germany, and so forth - are regime controlled. Both must conform first and foremost to the liberal worldview. Any deviation by individuals will be met with resistance and removal from the party. Even on the left this is the case. Note how Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn - one of the most vocal socialists in the country - was very quickly brushed aside and thrown under the bus when the party realised he was not absolutely subjugated. Corbyn - despite his incredible idiocy - at times appeared to have a more ‘traditional’ view on socialism, with more of a focus on the British working class than immigrants, ‘minorities’, and other globalist talking points. For this he was removed and replaced by Keir Starmer - a profound conformist and self-hating Englishman. The same is true with the Conservatives, who are not only anti-nationalist, but are clearly anti-western.

This is why Reform UK - just as with Alternative for Deutschland - is increasingly the working man’s choice. Statistically, Reform UK is trailing close behind the Tories - perhaps far closer than they predicted. The never-ending failure that is the Conservative party has left an increasingly conservative voter base without a home, so to speak. Reform UK is now the obvious choice. This has led to what appears to be a combined effort from both the Tories and Labour to discredit the party. The left wield their typical rhetoric, calling Farage a racist, misogynist, and so forth. The Tories on the other hand have taken a strange but somewhat predictable approach; they are now ‘warning’ about the dangers the Reform party poses to ‘conservatives’. Obfuscating from the immigration issue, they have rather deferred to dead neocon arguments, like claiming that a Farage victory will leave the door open for Labour - as if that would make any real difference at this point.

END OF THE TORIES

While no one can say for sure, it seems as though this coming election cycle will mark the end of the Conservative party as a major party in UK politics. I don’t know how quickly it will happen, but I do agree that the Tories have lost all semblance of legitimacy in the eyes of the public. What makes the party so unlikable is that they don’t represent anyone beyond foreign lobby groups; in contrast to the left socialist parties, and the right nationalist parties, the Conservatives represent nothing but a veiled form of Straussianism which appeals to no one and benefits no one. It also creates a major issue; since it exists as a ‘fake’ dialectical opposition to Labour, it obfuscates a more ‘refined’ struggle from the public, which is between post-war liberalism and pre-war nationalism. Since both the Tories and Labour are post-war liberalist parties, the removal of one exposes the contradictions of the other. For this reason, the fall of the Conservative party should mark a day of celebration for the UK, as it marks the end of a deceptive, foreign-backed entity.

However, it is obvious that the vacuum must be filled relatively quickly if this is to happen. Statistically people under the age of 25-30 are most likely to vote for nationalist parties. Note that in Germany the AfD is the most popular political party amongst Gen Z. In England, statistics vary, but if I had to guess, I would say that Reform UK has roughly the same demographic appeal. This voting block will need to step up during election time to secure seats, since one must remember that Labour still exists as a threat, with a huge voter base consisting of older people.

INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL

The other obstacle to overcome is institutional control. Institutional control still rests with those in favour of liberalisation, and immigration policy. Apart from universities and such, the other important institutions to consider are government think tanks and the financial sector. From small businesses to the government itself, the free flow of money is mediated by banks, which are in turn under the sway of asset management firm Blackrock. Internationally Blackrock can exert pressure on the market through various methods, such as the ESG scheme. It is likely that Blackrock - which conveniently emerged at the right time to swallow up massive amounts of assets during the 2007 financial crisis - is backed by foreign powers who wish to uphold an anti-western ideal.

It is for this reason that control is often wrestled after an election. Institutions are weaponised against the population until they concede. We saw this in mid-2020, when a Trump Republican government fell in line with the institutional narrative, allowing universities, NGOs, the media, and so forth to run wild with lockdowns, race riots, mandates, and so forth. The state security apparatus was either stood down or deliberately weaponised against the population; police were either forced to conform to institutional narratives, or forcibly stood down (or fired).

The same is true in England. The ruling regime exists beyond the borders of parliament. However, for the first time in recent decades, elected officials may be able to effectively break this managerial control, because (A) populist movements are larger than ever, (B) narrative control is failing, leading to (C) a distrust of legacy institutions such as the media, universities, and schools, and (D) because as I predicted a few years ago the real world consequences of left-wing policies are beginning to hit home for the average person. This is the perfect opportunity for someone like Farage to come centre-stage and utilise this rhetoric to break the narrative.

REFORM UK AS A SOLUTION?

While there are many serious issues facing the UK, the most serious - for the average man - is mass migration. While some want to take the focus away from migration and onto other deeper systemic issues, I would argue that the average citizen’s best option is to push back against immigration. Once the average citizen becomes disenchanted with migration, they will begin to seek answers, and this quest for answers will open them up to deeper discussions regarding the state of the country. Most people are not interested in things which do not affect them, but once they notice an issue, they will be more receptive to exploring the why and how.

Mass migration is the most immediate issue in western nations, since migrants act as unknowing participants in a struggle against western dominance. The unparalleled level of migration occurring today has many effects on the working man. From a lack of available housing, to increased violence, to job shortages and economic pressure. These issues have particularly affected Gen Z, who have experienced the results of this experiment for practically their entire lives. They do not understand the concept of owning a house or property, only renting. They do not understand the concept of a high trust society, or even going outside without a constant threat of danger. They cannot compute earning money which holds any value, as the economy now exists as little more than a social credit system allowing one to rent but not own whatever slop is handed to them.

Reform UK has the potential to grab this demographic - the youth, the middle class - and emerge as a serious rival to a Labour government. This is necessary for England’s survival. This demographic is fed up with the situation in their country. They are aware of the issues, and they are willing to grow in understanding.

Now some have highlighted that Farage is a ‘Zionist’, and that this is a dealbreaker. Given the situation now - over a million people entering the UK per year - I feel like focusing on the Zionist angle is poor optics. What is the alternative here? Keir Starmer? One must prioritise issues, and then consider the outcomes. A Starmer-Labour victory may see increased ‘Palestinian support’. So what? What will come of this? The answer is very little. They will, however, uphold regime ‘truths’; remember that the ‘new left’ may criticise Zionism, but they also obfuscate from any deeper religious or cultural issues. For context, I do not currently understand ‘Zionism’ (which is essentially ultranationalism) to be the primary issue, but rather the religious and cultural preconceptions which Zionism is drawn from (racial superiority, gentiles as subhuman, coming of the Talmudic messiah, etc.). I am yet to see the left question or even mention any of these things.

Thus far, I have not seen Farage going out and asking us to pave the way for the Jewish Messiah, yet I have seen him countersignal the regime on multiple issues relating to immigration, multiculturalism, and so forth. Remember that the issue which is most likely to strike close to home - at least as I am writing this - is immigration and the violence, corruption, and destruction which comes part and parcel with it. If Reform UK can actually execute the change they claim they want, this will be arguably the most important first step towards bettering the UK - and hopefully other western nations will follow.

Maybe I am overly optimistic, but I see a Farage takeover as something akin to a Trump 2016 victory; it shifts the Overton window, it possesses serious energy, and it motivates the public to take action for their country.

REALITY AND THE FUTURE

To say that this is a crucial time for England would be an understatement. Across the UK and Ireland, migration policies have gone beyond any saving measure. What I mean by this is that - just like in the US and Australia - it is ‘too late’. The answer needs to be something akin to return policy for immigrants who have flooded the UK over the past three four years.

I believe the key here is reaching the correct voting demographic. It must be stated yet again; all the evidence points towards Gen Z. Recently in Germany an attempt was made to counter the rise of the AfD by lowering the voting age. The result? Data suggests that most of this new age bracket (16-18) would vote for the AfD. This same trend towards conservatism can be seen across differing data sets. One which circulated recently showed how support for gay marriage increased amongst boomers, Gen X, and Millennials between 2021-23, while support decreased by half amongst Zoomers. The writing is on the wall; Gen Z do not want Karl Poppers liberalism, they want something ‘based’ and true. Farage and his party have this opportunity to truly seize upon this and move towards immigration reforms and stricter citizenship policies. No matter what people say, as far as I can see, a Reform UK victory will only be a benefit; it shifts the Overton window, normalises the conversation around immigration, heritage, and culture, and it seeks to return Europe to a time when truth existed.
