The Dame once met Richard Tice, founder of 'new kid on the political block', Reform UK
Tice is an intelligent, thoughtful but highly opinionated man so it's unsurprising within Reform UK's policy document there are two of his ideas which will NOT find favour with potential voters.
Tice plans to subsidise the fees of students unable to have face to face tuition due to Covid 19.The vast majority of his potential support base would like to scrap many of the media studies/psychology/ sociology courses students are engaged on so if Tice thinks his initiative will fire up students to turn to Reform UK he is naive.
His other non-vote winner is even more bizarre...
He wants Reform UK to field candidates for the 44 Police and Crime Commissioner positions.
Does he not realise that most voters of every political hue would like to scrap this useless quasi quango?
The PCC network costs £55 million a year to operate and was foisted upon Cameron by the Lib Dems in 2012.
Mr Tice?
Start listening to people or Reform UK will go the way of all flesh Oh....and work with Taxpayers Alliance who really understand lobbying for change.
Once more, the Dame goes straight to the nub of the matter. Reform UK will never beat the electoral system but it could at least be an effective lobbying organisation. If these are tow if its ideas I won't be supporting it.
