Reform proposal would make life harder for Brits living in the EU

Another enlightened intervention by Farage's Reform party that, if implemented, would disadvantage British citizens living across the EU.

Of course it's by no means certain, if even likely, that they will come to power in the UK, but I have occasionally met UKIP/Brexit/Reform inclined clowns here in Berlin who would, ironically, lose out if Farage's shower were in power... :roll:

Unfortunately, with the mess the UK political system is in (7 PMs in the last 10 years) I can see Reform getting into power. Maybe not in the next General Election but possibly the one after that. We have already had BoJo as PM so Farage wouldn't surprise me.

A bit like the AfD here in DE. They will become more and more powerful the more the other parties argue (and getting nothing done) when in a coalition and trying to govern the country.

I very much doubt Reform will be able to implement something like that.
What will happen with all the 'immigrants' currently claiming benefits? There will be riots.
It's just another one of their false promises to get dummies to vote for them. Once they are elected, it suddenly won't be possible, etc. etc.
