      Smearing in media for the most part. The initial MPs that form its foundation are probably all already elected as Independents.

      Anti-Russian sentiment still has good stock prices at the moment, break out a few more front pages and ‘balanced BBC coverage’ calling him out as a Russian spy… again.

      What they did in Spain against Podemos is kinda easy. Have a far-right police department (so, any) make up an internal inform with false evidence about funding from Venezuela and Iran against the party, leak it to media, have it nonstop on TV right after news of Venezuelan inflation and Iranian women oppression. Worked wonders, and nobody went to jail for that even after it was exposed.
