The Brexit Party has requested to change its name to Reform UK, admitting that it is “time to redirect our energies”.
When the Brexit Party celebrated its policy launch before last year’s general electionLeader Nigel Farage said the organization will most likely never come to power, but it could be the driving force in getting governments to “support little people.”
In an article written for The Daily Telegraph, the party said it would continue to “keep a close eye” on Brexit, but focus more on institutions and policies that require change.
The Brexit Party changes its name
The party included the House of Lords, the BBC, the voting process, law and order and immigration, criticizing “mismanaged and wasteful quangos” and describing the Home Office as “unfit for its purpose” .
But the “most pressing issue,” he said, was the government’s “regrettable response” to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The ‘strategy’ has been to terrorize the nation into submission, along with a barrage of lockdowns, rules, regulations and threats. It’s about buying time, in the hope that a vaccine will miraculously arrive,” he said.
“This is not a way to approach a disease that can be around for a long time, maybe forever. The consequences for health and the economy in general have been devastating.
“Suicides are increasing, from students incarcerated in dormitories to 88-year-old women who cannot see their relatives and naturally wonder: what is the meaning of life?”
Tens of thousands of people have died from COVID-19 in the UK, but the party said ministers had “lost touch with a nation divided between the terrified and the furious.”
“The debate on how to respond to COVID is becoming even more toxic than Brexit,” he continued, before adding: “The closures do not work: in fact, they cause more harm than good.”
Instead, the party will back Great Barrington Declaration, a letter organized by prominent advocates of group immunity, which was signed by more than 15,000 scientists and physicians, as well as more than 150,000 members of the general public.
Although, Sky News later found dozens of fake names on the list of medical signatories.
The party said Reform UK would promote “targeted protection … by directing resources to those most at risk”, adding that these people “should not be criminalized for simple acts that make life worth living, particularly in his last years “.
“The rest of the population should, with good hygiene measures and a dose of common sense, get on with their lives,” he said. “In this way we build immunity in the population. Young people act as warriors, creating a shield of protection.”
