Farage and party leaders openly plan to bypass democratic norms, proposing unelected ministers, expanded powers over civil servants, and harsher prison policies, even suggesting sending convicts abroad to countries with poor human-rights records. The party’s rhetoric on policing emphasizes physically tough officers, implicitly favoring men, while ignoring broader gendered violence and safety concerns. A rise in crime, largely fuelled by Brexit-related economic hardship, is being used to justify authoritarian measures. Protest suppression, centralization of power, and disdain for human rights illustrate a broader pattern of undermining democracy. RUK wants to exploit public anger and societal crises to concentrate power, normalize extrajudicial policies, and erode civil liberties. UK electoral reform is essential to prevent the country’s slide toward authoritarianism.
