An Indian shop keeper in my town just stood for Reform at the council elections last month. I can’t wrap my head around it.

I mean, sure, he’s there for the reduced beauracracy and borderline libertarianism that also includes sucking off those with more money, but that comes with the racism. So much racism.

He didn’t win, of course, but if he had, then what? A member of party who members hate him because of who his grandparents were. Bizarre.

The party of freedom. Just not that freedom.

United by homophobia and transphobia, divided by xenophobia.
