Right Trouble

The Right-Wing Wants to Transform

Kemi Badenoch: The New Mayor of Gotham City has declared War on Woke! 

Kemi's new role as 'leader of the opposition' will require her to work after six in the evening and do some weekends. It really might weigh quite heavily on her. She'll have to play out her thick skinned, no nonsense reputation, persisting daily with true grit and the very honesty she espouses while surrounded by politicians! The woman has been heralded to unify the right-leaning voters under her vision of change. Regardless of all the conflicting opinions surrounding immigration and growth, Nigel Farage has said the Conservative Party no longer exists because it lost its identity. She seems to agree. 

Badenoch now plans to retake Tory voters who were allured towards Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats. This might not be easy. Unless she becomes the new Iron Lady of our age, tirelessly persisting towards the results that will solve our key problems. I doubt it.

Is she an Iron Lady?

If she pushes for strict immigration controls it might appeal to some Leave voters and EU-friendly individuals. Others say she should have listened more closely to Salopian raised Jenrick, who wanted to deport everyone! There are more than enough who feel that we have failed to capitalise on the opportunities Brexit was supposed to bring—she could reach out to them! Is this all bad? Is it a good thing? What do you think? You see, Kemi Badenoch's economic reform agenda proposals hope to roid-up our manufacturing, these proposals not only resonate with pro-Brexit voters, but overlap with the same goals as Reform UK. We might all be presented with a Badenoch ‘Reform light’ alternative! 

What Battles Are to be Fought?

1. The European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) Commitment: there’s a strong sentiment among that ocean of people who marched peacefully under English and British Flags in recent protests. Multitudes holding firm that despite European disfavour, risk of EU legal action, and even becoming isolated from the continent, Britain should show strength, push on and leave the ECHR in order to retake control of its borders by deporting illegal immigrants, and limit or remove asylum protection. 

Leaving the ECHR is not an easy solution like Kemi Badenoch has said it to be, if it was easy, it would have been done years ago! In fact, immigration is also problematic across the EU, who has its own return directive for third country nationals, has been implicated with much more questionable methods than Britain have ever used: The Italian Prime Minister Meloni's Albanian immigration camps, Polands use of live rounds and allegations surrounding Frontex and the sinking of migrant ships in the mediterranean. 

The majority of British people have been voting to reduce immigration and see the regulation of the country's borders. Badenoch’s reluctance to leave the ECHR will be an issue for numerous potential voters. If she's too ‘iron lady,’ she will sink. 

2. Competition with Nigel Farage: This leader has established credibility on immigration issues. Immigration is his middle name! He has it cattle branded across his butt cheeks. Are we going to see Reform Light vs Reform UK? If so, would this yet again, delay the country taking control? Well, of course it will, it was rhetorical. 

Reform UK's Standing With Tommy Robinson And His Followers

Richard Tice distanced Reform UK from the ‘likes’ of Tommy Robinson and his ‘lot’ which could have been an ignorant reference to genuine vandals or crooks. We know Nigel Farage, like Robinson, has been a controversial figure. Tommy has a historical association with the Far-Right as well as his EDL activism, which today, still reflects a broad public perception of the man, rather than a purely factual account of his actions to date. Stigma is hard to shake. It sticks. 


Tommy Robinson, like Farage, has taken punishment. Reform UK knows it must to align itself with the wider voting landscape to win the big victory for the country. Moving beyond the culture wars, and commotion, what would the 52% who voted leave want? Reform UK fight in their corridors of power, while others take to media networks. Above all, the movement to reform the UK is the only directive. Will that be through Nigel Farage, Badenoch or someone like Nick Tenconi, supported by right-wingers betrayed by Tices political shibboleth?

Is This How Things Will Go?

For Badenoch to rally the right, it must be a profound task and an admirable success. She must own these complexities like a boss and mould the solutions. Yes, she might be an anti-woke figurehead, which is a bonus in this day and age, but do you think she can balance real bold policies without losing her broad appeal especially when addressing our deep enduring frustrations that fueled the Brexit vote? The gauntlet has been thrown down.
