Based on an analysis of 1,067 of 1,400 voting areas, the current national share estimate puts Reform on 32%.

This is the first time a party other than the Conservatives or Labour has led at this stage of the votes being counted.

Labour are currently placed second on 19% with the Conservatives only one point behind on 18%.

This is the lowest total for both parties individually and combined since 1973 when these estimates were first calculated.

The Liberal Democrats have 16% with the Greens on 7%.

Against all the slurs and vilification, the AfD in Germany pulled past the CDU in this week’s polls and now ranks as the top party.

Unless a judge tosses them off the ballot.

Too late, they were just labeled an extremist organization and are under surveillance:

In this scenario the Conservatives are one of the leftist parties.

Yes, but if it is spread across too a large area, too thinly, they’ll end up with few seats and no power.

I was born and raised in England, everyone there says things like “it’s a system that has worked for hundreds of years, so why change it?”.

Well...there’s a reason the USA EXISTS, which goes against that argument. More recently, does it LOOK like it’s working? Nobody is happy. Multi-culti diversity is creating problems everywhere. Endless dinghy boats every day of fighting age men. Nobody believes that VOTING will change anything. The Tories/Labor are the same respective to immigration and multi-culturalism, refusing to alter course.

How does that sound like a ‘system that works’??

Outside that, I don’t have much faith in Farage...I think he’s just another opportunist politician. His comments on Tommy Robinson and ‘his type of thugs’ means he doesn’t understand the working class or their problems. Therefore, he is not the solution.

Europe is scared of anything called far right.

Most of the far right groups in Europe would be centralist Democrats in the USA...

Agreed....IF they get out and vote. The turnout is typically terrible and Muslims vote as a block to influence.
