In a move that cheerful president Richard Tice referred to as “turbo-boosting,” Reform UK, which he founded, may be taking over, according to outgoing head Nigel Farage.
Brexiteer Nigel Farage, who announced he had changed his mind about not running for office in the upcoming global election, has been given the reins of Reform UK president Richard Tice. In the reshuffle, businessman Richard Tice will step down as chairman and Farage may lead Reform UK.
Farage told a crowd in London on Monday afternoon that he had come to this conclusion after encountering numerous voters while campaigning on Sunday and after being repeatedly told how disappointed they were that he had initially said he would n’t stand in order to concentrate on promoting the party nationally. He said:” I’ve changed my mind. It’s allowed you know, it is n’t always a weakness, it can be a sign of strength. So I’m going to run for president in this election and will announce my nomination at noon tomorrow in the coastal city of Clacton, Essex, at the end of the wharf.

On the grounds for the change, Farage said:
I believed that the only way to do my little was to support the [party around the country ] and not stand. And the last year that’s what I’ve been doing … I’ve been on the roads meeting an awful lot of people, and incidentally an awful lot of younger people.
You wo n’t have got this yet, the pollsters wo n’t have picked this up yet, but after 30 years of experience in this game, something is happening out there. There is a political class rejection happening in this nation in a way that has n’t been seen in recent years. However, last week, the number of people walking up to me in the street and asking,” Nigel, why are n’t you standing?” really shook me. And I gave my rational, logical reasons for it… but I could n’t help feeling after each exchange that somehow they felt I was letting them down, that I was n’t standing up for these people. Individuals in their thousands who have stood with me, in some cases, for many years.
Farage stated that he would serve as the party’s chief for at least five years and that the plan was on much more than just the upcoming election; it was about fostering enthusiasm for the opposition party and, in the future, form a government. Our goal with this vote is to receive a lot of, lot of votes. And I’m talking much more seats than UKIP got in 2015, when we got four million vote”, he said.
The Farage election is likewise evidently a part of Reform UK’s campaign to promote immigration in the “immigration vote,” in which the inbound leader dismissed concerns that his boosting Transformation would profit Labour and harm the Conservatives. Farage claimed that the Conservatives were owed no fealty and deserved the Conservatives ‘ vote because the old Brexit had taken more votes from the left than the right, faring aside.
Who would have believed that a Conservative Party would have accelerated the process? 2.4 million citizens have been allowed to settle in the UK by this Conservative government over the course of the past two years, a large betrayal of 17.4 million people who voted for Brexit, he claimed. They voted well to get back our indepenedence, but they definitely voted to get back control of our frontiers”.
