Al Jazeera spoke to Professor Orleine Mondan, senior lecturer of politics, languages and international studies at Bath University, about the importance of these elections and the growing popularity of the right -wing party about the country.
Al Jazeera: For the first time, the reforms of the UK have been the lead in the UK Government Pool. Are you surprised by this?
Mondan: Unfortunately, I am not surprised because it follows a long trend and nothing has been done to stop it.
In fact, I would argue that the Labor government has paved the way for reform by focusing on its pet affairs. [issues the party focuses strongly on like immigration] And to give priority to its supporters.
Because of this, their ideas have been included in the mainstream and some people encourage the sound support for reforms as even the nominal leftist government agrees with their diagnosis.
Al Jazeera: What do you suggest about people’s feelings about this survey reform?
Mondan: It has been said about what people feel about wages more about reforms. It is very important not to read this survey as it suggests that reforms are underway to win the next election.
What we should do is that Labor has failed to respond to many crises facing the UK, it has continued to join the mainstream of efficiency and right -wing ideology.
At the end of the day, and as we have seen in countless cases, you do not need reforms to win the agenda, to join the mainstream and implement the far right politics L.
Al Jazeera: In the summer of last year, the right riots targeted several Muslim and ethnic minority communities across the country. How do you feature these stress political reactions?

It is amazing that these parts of the population, either at the sharp end of right -wing politics or publicly and decisively opposing them, have consciously ignored the government, which only of the minority Instead of fulfilling reactionary interests, it is chosen. .
Al Jazeera: Statistics like Tech billionaire Elon Musk have joined the UK political division, who are involved in hate speech about immigration with their supporters. What does it tell us about the way we are increasing right -wing popularity?
Mondan: This is a sign of widespread failure of institutions to counter its rise.
So few people should never be given so much power and wealth when it was always clear that their commitment to democracy was excellent.
Kasturi is not an exception, but is the product of mainstream failures compared to the rapidly weak democratic system.
Al Jazeera: If reforms become more popular, will people become more clear about the support of the party and its agenda?
Mondan: Unfortunately, it is in other context and is likely to be here.
Not only seeing the increase in elections, but also the mainstream politicians and the media repeated their talks as if it were based on legitimate concerns, the sharp end of these politics would put a lot of pressure on communities.
Al Jazeera: Can one day be corrected in the UK leading the country?
Mondan: Only if the mainstream actors continue the route and refuse to cope with the rise of the country and the planet through radical reforms to deal with the many crises facing this country and the planet.
