Rupert Lowe, an MP for Great Yarmouth, has openly criticized Nigel Farage's leadership style, calling for a more structured approach within the Reform party. He questions whether Farage can effectively lead if he remains too independent and messianic. Lowe emphasizes the importance of delegation and developing comprehensive policies to transition from a protest party to a leading political force. He also mentions the need for MPs to potentially receive higher salaries while calling for a reduction in parliamentary numbers, reflecting his desire for systemic change in governance.
Nigel is a fiercely independent individual and is extremely good at what we have done so far. He has got messianic qualities. Will those messianic qualities distill into sage leadership? I don't know.
We have to change from being a protest party led by the Messiah into being a properly structured party with a frontbench, which we don't have. We have to start behaving as if we are leading and not merely protesting.
I'm not going to be by Nigel's side at the next election unless we have a proper plan to change the way we govern from top to bottom. We can't raise the hopes of people who are so frustrated with the way we are governed and then flunk it.
I sit in parliament with my experience in farming, various risk-taking businesses... I speak with a unique perspective that can guide us to better governance.
