Taking the lead from guess who? Hopefully we’ll see more of Katie Hopkins.
The Tories are running fourth.
A Reform + Tory coalition is still not a majority.
Looks like Nigel Farage will be the next PM.
This was not an election to form a government, but just local elections. Does give a feel for the nation’s sentiments though.
but starmer sez its the messaging
they need new messages of hope
dressing up their same old stinky policies
that were just rejected at the polls
Knew that, I was thinking of its prognosis; i.e., not a majority sufficient to start deporting Muslim invaders.
>but starmer sez its the messaging
It’s like one of those tic-tac-toe chickens. There’s 0% possibility they will say anything other than “messaging” when they lose. Never change policy, never amend, never apologize, never improve; just “clearly too much truth got out, we need to suppress free speech harder so only our propaganda exists.”
This seems quite remarkable - like a 3rd party candidate cleaning house in the US. I didn’t think the Brits had it in ‘em.
It’s a Right Wing Spring!!
It’s not winning elections it’s what you do after that. Reform now needs to actually make life better as to simply pointing out how bad it is.
Far-right AfD becomes Germany's strongest party shock polls show
Anti-Globalism Spring!
excellent point on the speech restrictions
