Wow "other" jumped up by nearly 20% since the last election, wonder why Reuters left that party's name out? Was it the Reform party?

Other also includes the assorted Northern Ireland parties, plus The Greens and Reform.

It was Labor 34 percent, Conservatives 24 percent, Reform 14 percent and Liberals 12 percent. So Reform came in as the third largest vote getter which is undoubtedly why the “Press” lumped them in with all other parties. The same “press” that ignored Biden’s obvious dementia for years and is now shrieking about it to cover for themselves.

Yes Reform got 14.3% of the vote. This article illustrates the corruption of Reuters, but why post it?

To show that Reform was third in the vote and coupled with the Tory vote, the right wing may have won, you sound like a Tory Liz Cheney.

So, Reform received 14.3% and was not specifically mentioned but lumped in with “other,” while the Libs only received 12.2% but were specifically named? “Rooters” is as corrupt as the Associated Propaganda (AP).

Apparently, Reform only gets 4 parliament seats under the FTPT system, behind both the Lib Dems (71) and even SNP (9).
