The politician should be able to say 'nah, you're wrong' instead of pandering to them. Some voters are absolute morons who have brain-eating bacteria starving to death in their heads.

In general terms you're not wrong. But I see this as a salesman/customer matter. Yusuf's job is to sell Reform UK to the public. Rule #1 is not to insult the customer. The non-buying signals from the audience makes clear his failure on the night.
