Elon Musk has again entered into the British political struggle, this time promoting a new right -wing party, progress, while criticizing the leader of the fast -growing and influential reform of the British party, Nigel Farage.
Musk was recently posted on X: Go with @_Advanceuk, Ben [Habib] and Tommy [Robinson] For the real change that is needed to save great Britain! “In another post, he said:” Advance UK will actually change. Farage is weak sauce that will not do anything. “
Earlier this month he addressed tens of thousands in London to the “Unite the Kingdom” rally organized by the controversial right winger Tommy Robinson. The billionaire joined the Mars by Videolink and condemned the left as ‘The Party of Murder’.

The billionaire also focused on the man who could be Groot -Britain’s next Prime Minister and claimed that Nigel Farage does not have what is needed. ” That was before the birth of Advance UK. More recently, he said: “There must be a huge reform of the government in Great -Britain and people must be in charge, not a bureaucracy that does not care.”
The right-wing party, which almost officially registers, is led by Ben Habib, a former co-deput chairman of Reform UK. “The two -party system is dead,” said Habib. “The conservatives and the Labor party have had their chance, and now people want something new.”
“You clearly do not have a two -party system,” says Alan Mendoza, executive director of the think tank of Henry Jackson Society. However, he asked: “This system will produce a majority of the government and whether it delivers an important opposition party at the end of the process, for example.”
Part of the fragmentation of British politics is the widespread disgust of political leaders. Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, Conservative Leader, Kemi Badenoch and reform of the British leader Nigel Farage, all had an unfavorable views between 52% and 68%, according to data from the Polling organization Yougov.

Despite the negative view of Farage, Reform UK leads in the polls in the case of a general elections, according to the Polling company Ipsos. But that does not necessarily mean that reform will win in the next elections.
“If there was an election tomorrow, it would probably win,” says Mendoza. However, we do not know when the next elections will be, making it almost impossible to predict at this stage, he says. “The golden law of British politics is that you cannot predict the mood that far ahead.”

When asked why Advance UK is needed when the party of Farage is far ahead in the polls, Habib said: “Reform will not deliver. It is for nothing. It is a populist party without a political philosophy and without intellectual lifting or capacity,” said Habib, said “Farage has nothing more than a political care. [former Prime Minister] Boris Johnson. “
Nevertheless, it does not seem that Advance UK will split the mood with reform. According to Mendoza, Robinson can bring to the party, may have been a mistake. During the recent meeting, some protesters reportedly attacked police officers. “Most people will not love violence during a political meeting,” he said. “And they will not support the party.”
One of the leading frustrations that voters currently have is that neither the current government nor the latter has succeeded in stopping the increase in legal and illegal immigration. In fact, it has deteriorated. Nearly 50,000 immigrants without papers, many looking for asylum, arrived in Great Britain in the 12 months to June. According to the government data of approximately 39,000 at the same time, this is the previous year.
On Saturday, the Daily Telegraph reported that migrants are now good for 98% of the last increase in the population. According to the Office for National Statistics, the Telegraph reported that an estimated 69.3 million people lived in the country in mid -2024, an increase of 755,254 from the same time in 2023.

“We need a holistic solution to reduce immigration,” said Habib. He also said that boundaries should be forced and illegal migrants should be deported. Even worse, those asylum seekers live in hotels at the expense of taxpayers of £ 5.8 million per day ($ 7.4 million).
“We need a holistic solution to reduce immigration,” said Habib. He also agrees that boundaries must be maintained and illegal migrants are deported. Even worse, those asylum seekers live in hotels at the expense of taxpayers of £ 5.8 million per day ($ 7.4 million).
Earlier this summer, protests on asylum hotels broke out in Epping, Southeast -Engand. Farage has suspended one of his municipal councilors separately for accusations of racism during the demonstration.
Elon Musk responded to Farage’s suspension of the councilor on X. He wrote: “Farage is weak, liquid sauce. He will not let the reform stand up for their own people, for example their Epping member punishment, and he will not change any politically.”

And according to recent polls, people in the UK would almost certainly say that any real change is needed, especially with regard to the lack of freedom of expression. Earlier this year, the Irish comedian Graham Linehan was met by the armed police at Heathrow airport after online comments about transgender people. Such incidents seem to be the norm quickly.
Despite the criticism of Musk, a new opinion poll showed on Friday in the VK by Yougov, the reform of Farage UK on Target to give a massive defeat of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his prevailing Labor Party if an election were to be held.
Farage was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying: “The growth of the party is amazing,” noted: “We are now coming for labor.”
