Nigel Farage’s power grab plan to fill Cabinet with unelected Lords | UK | News

Nigel Farage wants to create a US -style “all talents” cabinet with full foreigners running important government departments if victory in the next general elections.

A bomb reform of half of the cabinet ministers in the UK Government may be a member of the Lords Assembly instead of elected deputies in British politics.

The controversial approach will allow the reform to appoint numbers from a wider pool of experience, but also provokes explosive questions about parliamentary accountability and democratic norms. The news comes with Trump Smears UK in Mark Zuckerberg Tech-Bro Meetup: ‘Strange things are happening’.

It emerges in an explosive interview with the details of radical thought Telegram By Zia Yusuf, who emerged as one of the most influential figures of reform.

‘Galactic level’ talent hunt begins

Mr. Yusuf, a party official, suggested that the search for potential cabinet ministers has already been continuing and that people with “galactic level” is interested. He refused to give details.

In addition, if the party wins the next election, he threw his name as Reform’s Chancellor, arguing that his business history has placed it well to carry out the economy.

Reform’s annual conference in Birmingham takes place on Fridays and Saturdays and is built around the “next step” theme.

At the conference has more media and commercial interest than ever, it leads to a significant leadership of party opinion polls. One out of all three voters says they will vote for reform now.

Challenge to convince voters

However, Mr. Farage and his senior colleagues have difficulty convinced voters that voters are an effective policy platform for changing the country and a policy platform for changing the country.

Currently, there is no complete shadow cabinet that creates uncertainty about who will lead the reform if the party begins.

Mr. Yusuf said that the plan is to reveal a possible cabinet much closer to the election, that is, voters may have to wait until 2029 to learn the proposed reform ministers team.

The reform was elected only five deputies in the House of Commons last summer and took sixth in an election. Two people no longer live as reform deputies.

Home names ‘stand out’

Explaining the approach of creation of a waiting cabin, Mr. Yusuf said, “The number of people who come to the forefront is always growing by saying that they want to help reform in the background or potentially on the front.

“Some of these people are home names. I will not give them to them, because I will not betray trust.

“As Nigel says, one of our diagnoses about why the intensity of talent is so weak is inevitably a situation that our health secretary is a deputy.

“We do not think that the Minister of Defense to perform voter surgeries about the chlorine level in the local swimming pool.

“Now, this is an important issue, but I do not think that a person is most suitable for doing both. So most of our cabin ministers, many people Nigel put in the cabin – not all, many – will not be MPS.”

Therefore, when asked whether they will have lords, Mr. Yusuf said: “This is the most likely scenario, yes.”

Best candidates ‘Election Zone does not want to work’

He said how many cabinet members should have no limits: “These are decisions for Nigel. I wouldn’t be ready to put any upper limits on this issue.

“I think we should optimize the best possible people, and perhaps the best possible people do not want to do all the things about being a deputy.”

Again, he asked if half of the proposed cabinet of the reform could be peer: “Again, Nigel’s decision, but I think.” He said.

Radical separation from tradition

The approach is a radical separation from how ruling political parties approach the cabinets for generations for generations.

It is not rare that a small number of peers are in the cabinet. The House of Lords always has a leader and sometimes another cabinet minister position.

Former Conservative Leading Lord Cameron was brought back to the façade by Rishi altar in 2023 and made an external secretary, so one of the four major government offices was ruled by a peer.

Prime Minister’s appointment of external figures to ministry duties is not rare. Sir Keir Starmer, Prison Minister Lord Timpson, Prisons Minister of Prison, and former Government Chief Scientific Advisor Lord Vallace made the Minister of Science.

Recommendation is a radical change in British politics

However, the scale of the government offices managed by unleaded peers summarized by the reform is unlike anything seen in modern British political history.

The approach will raise questions about parliamentary accountability, because in accordance with the ordinary rules, MPs cannot grill their peers in the House of Commons because they do the usual cabinet ministers.

Furthermore, giving more than a dozen of the country’s NHS services or justice system, such as the authority to execute all government departments, will trigger questions about whether democratic norms are raised.

Echoes of the American System

The approach has the echoes of the American system in which the US Senate approved the elections, where the US President was once elected and selected by mail and that he wanted to chair the departments in the executive branch.

Donald Trump’s two periods of military generals, TV hosts, former congress members, one -time political rivals and leading supporters appointed their cabinet positions.

Sir Keir Starmer is under increasing pressure to name the peers for reform when the next Lords appointments are recommended.

Guardian, a new workers’ peers to explain the highly announced plans reported. Despite the voting position, reform is currently no member of the lords.
