Populists always need an enemy
First Farage blamed all the UKs problems on the EU....and now we've left, things are worse not better
Now Farage is blaming all the UKs problems on immigrants......if say all the immigrants are stopped from coming here, we will find out they weren't the problem
what will be Farages next enemy to fight?

I didn't until 3 minutes ago - see section 7.5
Can you tell me where Labour's is documented, or the greens, SNP conservatives?
It seem to give a lot of power to decide the rules for any leadership election to the "Board". Which in turn seems to be heavily controlled by the Party Leader. The whole Party operation seems very much in control of one person:
6.3. The Board shall normally be composed of the following voting members:
6.3.1. 3 members in Good Standing and on the List elected in a party wide ballot, Board may make Rules regarding nomination and election of such members including the use of hustings, manifestos, short-lists, eligibility, and campaigning.
6.3.2. 3 Party members appointed by the Party Leader, at least two of whom must hold or have held elected public office within the United Kingdom;
6.3.3. the Party Leader;
6.3.4. the Party Chairman;

A bit like a company - maybe that is what they were thinking of. It doesn't matter what option you have - MPs decide.
This one seems a bit more complex:
This one seems a bit more complex:
MPs don't decide under Reform's rules, as far as I can tell.

I can see that is the bit you are struggling with. Both Labour and Conservatives put it to members to vote, but it is always the MPs who decide. Because if you don't have the confidence of the house, you can't be in government.
We didn't "Leave" the EU as Farage wanted, Boris made a hash of it, then Starmer started reversing it. Farage is not blaming immigrants, you will Find Farage agrees with legal immigration, as do I, but, illegal immigration is a criminal offence, & has to stop. All illegals should be deported. We should pick & choose who we want, as other countries do, not be forced to take the dregs of society.

Blaming them for what?
You need to listen to them, & not assume as most do. Reform has a "Manifesto", a contract, & any member going against it will be booted out.
Everything. The shortage and cost of housing, the problems with the NHS etc. etc. etc. Essentially, with these people, any problem you discuss facing the country, they always manage to turn it round to being caused by immigration. In my experience. I mean the die hard base, here.
There was no "manifesto" for the referendum.
The quitters didn't agree among themselves what they wanted. Still haven't, never will. Can't because they wanted different things, and convinced themselves they would get them.
On here, the quitters refused to say which of the possible options they wanted.
Even if they had agreed what they wanted, they didn't have the power to make the EU27 give it to them. It wasn't true that UK "held all the cards" or that it would be "the easiest negotiation in history" or that "they need us more than we need them." Boris drove around in a red bus and lied shamelessly. As always.
We voted (by a tiny majority) to leave, and we resigned.
What more did you expect?
That's because it isn't a party composed of members, it's a company controlled by shareholders.
Farage's company operates a "one man, one vote" system.
He's the one man
And he has the one vote.
