UK General Election 2024-MP Nigel Farage. First-time MP Nigel Farage wants to use the British parliament as a forum. As mention to further cement his party’s standing as the country’s legitimate opposition. Paul Sandle writes, after his Reform UK party performed better than anticipated.
Clacton, a once-popular holiday resort that supported Farage’s pro-Brexit UKIP party in 2015, gave him 46% of the vote. “My plan is to build a mass national movement. For over the course of the next few years and hopefully be big enough to challenge the general election properly in 2029,” he said.
“This Labour government will be in trouble very, very quickly and we will now be targeting Labour voters. We are coming for Labour – be in no doubt about that,” he stated.
His party has promised to restrict admission, withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights. And force refugees coming in small boats back to France. His primary target will be immigration.

In addition, Farage will advocate for tax reductions and claims that immigrants to the UK should not be eligible for benefits or free medical care. For a period of five years unless they are actual refugees.
Having always been a challenger of authority in school, Farage had reportedly retired from politics. This is when he resigned as UKIP leader in 2016, just after the Brexit referendum.
