Summary:
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has announced his intention to run for Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, launching a political party named Britain Restoring Underlying Values (BRUV). This move has garnered support from tech billionaire Elon Musk, who commented on Tate’s critique of UK politics, stating, “He’s not wrong.”
Tate’s campaign proposes policies such as mandatory combat sports in schools and a zero-tolerance approach to illegal immigration. However, his political aspirations are complicated by ongoing legal issues, including charges of human trafficking and rape in Romania, which he denies.
Musk’s endorsement has sparked debate, with critics labeling his support for Tate as “irresponsible and dangerous,” given Tate’s controversial background and the serious allegations against him.
What a terrible article.
Complete misunderstanding of how the UK political system works. You do not run to be prime minister, you run to be a minister, not only do you need to get elected you need your party to become the largest majority, then you can put your name forward to be prime minister.
If I set up my own party I’d also be in the running for PM. It doesn’t mean anything though.
