Simply campaigning against him won’t be enough. To stop Farage, we need to close the loopholes he’s exploiting and fix the cracks in our democracy.
Here’s how we’ll stop Farage:
1 – Fixing the broken electoral system. Under First Past the Post, a party can win two-thirds of seats with less than a third of the vote. That’s not ok for any political party but, with Farage’s party now leading in many polls, it’s downright dangerous. Proportional Representation would take away the FPTP ‘springboard’ that Farage wants to exploit.
2 – Eliminating dark money from politics. Farage is backed by wealthy donors, including those with foreign ties. Money is flowing into groups that boost his party - with little transparency. That’s not great for fair elections.
3 – Combatting disinformation. Farage is benefitting from a toxic mix of misleading headlines, algorithm-driven outrage, and coordinated online disinformation campaigns. These things fuel hatred, apathy, and division - undermining trust in politics to his personal gain.
