Potential roll back on womens rights

It is typical of Fascist ideologies to have a burning desire to control other people. Either it is done through coercion, or through monetary disincentives/incentives. Give these people any level of control and they will want to control every aspect of people's daily lives. In a way it is better that they signpost their nasty authoritarian impulses before any national elections, rather than after.

It has been said by independent electoral observers that there was "family voting" with one or two male family members entering the booth with another person to instruct them how or who to vote for, this is illegal and rightly so. Reform are kicking off about this, but seem to be under the assumption that everybody doing this was voting against them, so I would guess they've not yet gone as far as some US far right Christians who believe that only the male head of a family should vote on behalf of all family members.

It was quite funny watching Zia Yusef on Newsnight earlier in the week trying to justify rolling back equality laws and under intense questioning by Victoria Derbyshire that they didn't mean no wheelchair access, or anythig like that, just that white working class men were being discriminated against. So I guess the thought (or what passes for thought), is that if the equality act was removed all white working class men would suddenly be in work?

It is grievance politics. They identify something that potential voters might have a grievance about and say, "We feel your pain and we will fix it." They either do not say how they will fix it, or offer up something unrealistic and half-baked that is never going to work in the real world. They hope their potential supporters are too stupid to see through their lack of realistic policies and, unfortunately, they often get away with it.

It all seems to be about appealing to the "left behind", and moaning about all the rich woke people in Westminster who don't care, but many of reforms top people are very rich themselves, do people really think they actually care about poor people or just ordinary people? As far as I can see Reforms policies will just make the country less well off and the rich richer whilst stoking divisions.
