- OK, I'll bite.
- I think the Reform Party panders to people's fears by posing real
- problems and offering simpistic solutions. It has deliberately
- made itself attractive to bigots, which is not to say that everyone
- who would vote for it is a bigot. During the referendum campaign it
- showed itself to be quite comfortable with the politics of sleaze and
- deceit.
- Like Social Credit, it will hang out on the fringe and then wither
- away.
