"Gary Neville HATES Britain" Dan Wootton SLAMS Unpatriotic Agenda

Dan Wootton criticizes Gary Neville for removing a Union Jack flag while keeping other national flags, calling it unpatriotic. The conversation then examines how Britain's first-past-the-post system skews representation: Reform UK got 5 million votes but won only five seats, prompting discussion of proportional representation as an alternative.

About 5 million votes.
Five seats.
But this seems like a perfect opportunity to ask you what you think about Gary Neville saying that the problem is middle aged white men. I mean, of which I guess you and I might fit into that category.
Yeah, of course. Sorry, Gary. But it's also his fault. I mean, he spoke about angry middle aged white men. Well, that is Gary Neville. Right? That is Gary Neville because his anger is that people like us being patriotic, wanting to save our country. What was so shocking to me is that I read the accounts of the workers in his company where he had pulled down the Union Jack flag and they said there were other nationalities flags flying in the building. I think there was a Bulgarian flag flying. He didn't pull those down. He had a problem specifically with the Union Jack and I actually think he is the worst type of flag of Englishmen because do you remember when he was playing for England, he would not sing the national anthem, he would not sing God Save the Queen. So I actually think it's liberal, unpatriotic people like him who are on the left and who seem to hate everything that we're about, who have developed this woke hatred of what it means to be English and what it means to be British and feel ashamed about our history. He's just the type of person that would say, oh, the British Empire was a terrible thing, we should pay reparations. You know, just like Lenny Henry's wanting to pay £18 trillion worth of reparations which would bankrupt this country. I actually think people like him are the biggest threat to our country because they are self loathing. They are prepared to give all of this away but the people aren't with Gary Lineker, with, well with Gary Lineker either, but they're not with Gary Neville. There seems to be something about footballers called Gary who are middle aged angry white men. So no, I mean to me he is the problem. He is the problem.
Wow. So what about your second major issue with the uk? I think you said something about lack of democracy.
Yeah. So I think there's a huge subversion of democracy going on. We're seeing it with the fact that Slippery Starmer is literally canceling local elections. He's already done it once, he's planning to do it again to stop the march of reform uk. But to me it's actually much bigger than that because I think reform UK could also end up being a threat to democracy as well. At this point they're not. But what we're seeing happen is the smashing of the two party system. Right, but that's a good thing in A way. Well, it is a good thing. It's a great thing. I mean, I think the two party system, the Uni party as we call it, the Conservatives and Labor has to be smashed. Yeah, but what is it going to be replaced with? And what you find, Rob, is that the moment a party gets close to power, all of their talk about changing our democratic system so that it is fair, so that it's not a two party system goes out the window. So the example with Reform UK is that all of a sudden they're way ahead in the polls and there are these crazy historic majorities being predicted. So all of a sudden they don't seem to be all that committed to the idea of voting reform. And that is a huge mistake.
I mean, that's like Turkey's voting for Christmas though, isn't it? If we're the incumbent party in power.
So then we're never going to change, then we're never gon to change and we're constantly going to have this first past the post system which over represents one particular party. So we saw it at the most recent election where Slippery Starmer and Labor won this massive mandate, huge mandate, you know, a majority of hundreds in the House of Commons. But actually they were never that popular. He did not receive a massive amount of votes. He did not receive a massive percentage of the votes. But it was because of our system. We were sick of the Conservatives. They had let us down over a number of years. Reform UK at that point received about 5 million votes but weren't a massive force as a party, so only won five seats in Parliament. That's not democracy. But it's also not democracy for Reform UK to keep to this system just because it might benefit them at the next election. So I genuinely believe in electoral reform. There's lots of different ways that that could happen, but I fundamentally believe in proportional representation. And what I don't believe in is people on the right. And it is people on the right and I'm on the right. So these are my people who have said for years and years and years, oh, you can't do proportional representation because it just means you're going to get a left wing government forever and ever. And you know, you're going to get the Lib Dems and Labor and the Greens in the coalition. It's just not true. It is just not true. We are in the United Kingdom, a small C Conservative country and what would happen if we had proportional representation is we would finally have political parties that represent us. So the reason that the Conservative party failed over so many years is because it pretended to be a broad church, which meant that, effectively, it had people who believed in true conservative policies, like, say, Suala Braverman and Robert Jenrick, completely outvoted by people who were actually on the left right. Penny Mordants an example, Caroline notes. But there's a whole load of these people. Theresa May, she was our Prime Minister for God's sa. And really, they should have been in a party like the Liberal Democrats. So what would happen is there would be a split on the right. We would finally have parties that actually represented us, and you would vote for that party, and then, yes, there would be some form of coalition government, most likely. But again, I'm not afraid of coalition government, because what it does is it keeps parties in power honest. We have seen what happens, Rob, when parties are given unbridled power. They don't give a damn what the public think. Tony Blair didn't give a damn what the public think. He. He invaded Iraq anyway, didn't he? Look at where that got us. The Conservative Party didn't give a damn about the fact that we demanded the end to mass immigration over years and years and years. No, we still got the Boris wave anyway when over a million people were flooding into our country in a year. So I don't want governments to have unbridled power. Slippery Starmer currently has unbridled power. It's not a good thing. Proportional representation will keep parties honest. And there's a lot of people who are saying to me at the mom, oh, Daniel, I've got issues with Reform uk, and I certainly do, but they're our only option. So I'm gonna vote for them, even though they're maybe not saying all the right things on issues like Islam, for example. But I'm gonna vote for them anyway because they're the only option. Well, no, that's not how I want our system to work. And the great thing about proportional representation is that if you vote for a party, they get that share of the seats in the House of Commons. Is it going to happen? Probably not, because the system is corrupt. And Nigel Farage will see the fact that actually he can get in on a landslide under first past the post. And he'll just hope that the same thing doesn't happen to him where he's booted out after one term. But it's risky. It's risky.
