Great!
The UK could have a new PM soon and Labour will feel "renewed".
Rupert Lowe is in the district today it looks like campaigning hard for his lost cause. Bah.
Rupert Lowe rescuing Labor?
What we are seeing here might be a preview of the next UK general election (probably in 2029). Reform, Restore, and the Tories split the opposition vote, and Labour wins again.
Fun fact: Labour won big in 2024 with only 34% of the vote. So you don’t need a whole lot of popular support to take Parliament.
Yes, in 2024, Labour basically got their 34% base vote.
They won ONLY, because the opposition was split multiple ways!
The 2024 election was called the most unbalanced election in UK history, ever. The parliament MP’s party proportion does not represent the proportion of the voter preferences.
Correct
There are quirks in every district with a multiple party system.
I dont know what will happen.
The Greens are also insurgent on the left.
The UK doesn’t need an election.
The UK needs a revolution.
Restore Britain is Britain’s only hope. They’re the only party whose policies (ie decolonize Britain....ie deport all the 3rd world invaders) would actually save the country.
Reform has Labour on the ropes and this clown decides to start his own party because Reform is not pure enough. If he’s Britain’s only hope, he must think Labour is the way.
The only poll that matters is the one on electioẁn day.
The only poll that matters is the one on election day.
Sounds like he’s a deep state plant.
Yes it’s regrettable
That wouldn't surprise me. When a party is deeply unpopular, the strategy is to divide the popular opposition. The Dems tried to do it in the US by running some Tea Party candidates who were "pure" but ultimately, nuts (like the woman in Delaware who turned out to be a practicing witch). Labour's only hope to stay in power may be to divide Reform into two parties and have those two parties argue over which one is "purer" to split the vote.
You haven't been paying attention. Farage is not the guy. He's the establishment light. He will not go far enough to actually save the country. He's basically a Tory just not an open borders Tory. That would have been a perfectly reasonable position to take 25-28 years ago. Its not now. Millions of 3rd world savages have been admitted into the country since then. The only way to actually save the country is to deport them just like we are deporting the illegals. The only party that would do that is Restore Britain. A Reform victory is worthless if they're not willing to actually fix the problem - and they're not.
The country is in ruins. Everyone should have an anything but Labour mindset but they don’t. This is proof England is dead.
