Do they have any?

I have no idea. This is my best guess:

End immigration
End DEI and ban trans people
Slash benefits
Get rid of green policies
Start fracking and open new coal mines

I wouldn't dare to think I could guess a political parties policies.

And I certinly wouldn't be daft enough to support a political party based on someone's guess about their policies.

Most parties don't spell out their real intentions until they get into power. It makes sense to apply a bit of thought to what they might actually do in practice.

Labour certainly didn't.

So as we were discussing an extreme right wing party, is it reasonable to think that their real policies would be further right than their declared policies?

Reform are currently classed by most people as populist right, rather than extreme right. I think their policies would be a bit further right than their manifesto. But not extreme right wing policies, such as forced mass deportation.

Like Trumpian right wing?

Do we think that would be acceptable to the majority UK electorate.

Labour

That's what he meant when he said 'most parties'.

I think domestic policy could be very similar in areas such as immigration, energy and DEI. But the systems are very different. In some ways a UK PM with a good majority has more power than a US President and in other ways less.

It will be interesting to find out how acceptable the UK electorate find it. A lot would depend on whether it brings actual benefits to normal peoples' lives.

But you won’t say which policies of theirs you support……maybe it is because you are too embarrassed to say

I’m not embarrassed. All of 'em.

Now, are you going to tell us which party you support or is that too embarrassing for you?

And the UK PM is far more vulnerable than POTUS.
Thus he/she relies on party and public support for his/her longevity in office.
