Reform Party led UK local governments will block migrant hotels and green agenda | Eastern NC Now

UPDATE:  Reform Party leader Nigel Farage, the hero of Brexit, says the newly minted Reform Party majorities in local governments across England will use local government powers to block the national Labour government from placing illegal alien migrants in "migrant hotels" in the regions they control.  They will also use local government powers and sue in the courts to block the Labour government's controversial "green" agenda in those regions, such as building wind and solar "farms"s

Local elections in the UK have given the populist right Reform Party outright control of  nine local government authorities. .  Reform and Conservatives together also constitute a solid majority in seven others and those coalitions are likely.  Party leader Nigel Farage, hero of the Brexit campaign, says the Reform Party will immediately take strong policy positions that will pose a challenge to the national Labour government.

Farage says Reform-led local councils will resist any attempt by the national government to house any illegal alien migrants in their areas such as in migrant hotels.   That is something the Conservatives have never dared to do.  It will set Reform up as real opposition, willing to take action against illegal immigration.  An example might be the towns in Austria that used local zoning ordinances to stop migrants being dumped in their communities by the national government.

The second thing Farage has said the Reform-led local governments will do is to set up local DOGE-style committees to go over local spending with a fine tooth comb to weed out farud and waste.   Reform is calling for DOGE style efforts at the national level, and this will show that they are serious.

Now there is speculation in the press that three top Conservative members of Parliament might defect to the Reform Party.
