General election: Why Nigel Farage’s return to the fray matters

Chris Mason, a journalist who reports on politics, shared his thoughts on Twitter recently.

Nigel Farage is a prominent political figure who wields a significant amount of power.

What an accomplishment for a person who has attempted to secure a seat in Parliament seven times but has never succeeded, despite their efforts.

If it hadn't been for him, would the UK even have had the opportunity to express their opinions on being part of the EU before leaving? It's conceivable that it wouldn't have happened.

Perhaps you have strong feelings towards him, or maybe you do not feel anything towards him at all.

Nigel Farage has dedicated his entire life to causing chaos, joy, shock, and terror, and he believes he still has more to do.

As journalists, we all cramp up together in a cramped room located above at the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club, providing a stunning vantage point of the English Channel.

He previously stated that he had no intention to run for a parliamentary position in the upcoming election. This led to a taunt from a journalist at The Sun, implying that he was a coward.

He stated that based on his past failures, he had a slim probability of winning without dedicating considerable time and effort to campaign for the seat well ahead of time.

By committing to stay in one area for most of the competition, he will be restricted to that location. Therefore, I believe his current statement holds more importance than his previous statement.

It can be argued that he has a bigger chance of making a significant impact on this election if he tries to make a name for himself on a national level, rather than focusing on a specific area where his efforts may be futile.

Attempting to make his mark on the national platform is precisely his goal.

Dover was deliberately chosen as the setting for Mr Farage's presentation.

Immigration has been a debatable topic around Brexit that has transformed a less popular matter about control and authority into a subject of regular interest. It is the central point of his argument once again.

It's no surprise that the Conservatives and Labour are struggling to find ways to solve the problem of an increasing number of small boats crossing the waters.

The quantity of individuals legally migrating is very high as well.

I've been acquainted with Nigel Farage for almost two decades.

He's an expert in the dramatic aspect of politics and is skilled in using language to persuade an audience. He's also able to think quickly and come up with convincing arguments on the spot. He's particularly good at identifying areas where the Conservative and Labour parties have failed to adequately address issues and using those shortcomings to his advantage.

According to him, there is a huge difference between illegal and legal migration.

He asserts that immigration presents a grave threat to national security.

He has faced allegations of being prejudiced against Islam because of his statement that the conflict happening in the Middle East is leading a few individuals in the UK to cast their votes with respect to their religion, following certain "sectarian" patterns.

However, when I bring up the critics' claim that he creates divisions, he counters by stating: "I am prepared to express opinions that others are not."

Some may perceive it as rude, but I confront him nonetheless.

No, they feel ashamed. And it's challenging. And uncomfortable. This is occurring due to the lack of discussion surrounding the issue. The blame game is ongoing, with Labour being accused of initiating an irresponsible immigration policy and the Conservatives being accused of aggravating the problem.

He has an immense aspiration, which is to replace the political party he joined before leaving. He has provoked, angered, and motivated the Conservatives for many years.

At the moment, it appears improbable, but their performance in five weeks may change the situation.

However, two decades ago, the possibility of the UK's departure from the European Union was not a conceivable idea.

At present, what is significant is the immediate future.

Is he able to counteract the Conservative's argument that a vote for Reform UK, in which he serves as honorary president, will lead to Keir Starmer becoming the Prime Minister at Downing Street?

Many members of the Conservative Party are already frightened by the possibility of reforms and the return of Nigel Farage, who is smiling as he regains his previous position of power. This will only increase their fears.

According to my conversation with Mr. Farage, he firmly believed that Labour would emerge victorious in the election and the Conservatives would suffer an overwhelming defeat. Therefore, he suggested that people could vote for Reform without any concern about broader consequences.

Wait a minute, hold on: there hasn't been a single vote yet and the Tories are concerned that the Reform UK party is getting more support from those who voted for them in the 2019 elections.

It has been seven days since the commencement of the campaign for the upcoming election.

Every group is starting to gain momentum and discovering their unique tone.

The noise from all the voices is getting louder and faster.

Including Nigel Farage's opinion brings a lot of excitement, intensity, and interest to the discussion, as it adds a unique personality and perspective that can evoke powerful emotions like anger and curiosity.
