Summary
Has anyone seen the confident swagger of Nigel Farage lately? Thought not. A month of funding controversy, candidate shenanigans and sliding support has culminated in Reform UK being soundly beaten in a by-election that was supposed to be too close to call. Alex and Kenny look at why Reform is stalling, and the reasons why Farage is right to be feeling a bit 'glass half-empty' right now. And the wonderful Emma Harrison, CEO of Make Votes Matter, is back (with a bonus appearance from Naomi) for a deep dive into all the different options for electoral reform. Plus - apropos of nothing - what do you do if you get a job and discover you're just no good at it? ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • Make Votes Matter – they deserve your support • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK, if you would like to join us there • Email us at [email protected] • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com Half-empty glass cover image by Etan J.
