They are just ridiculous aren't they ?

We'll get the right wing vote with Rwanda and National Service etc,etc . Now Reform have gained support they want to be centrist again , it's honestly pathetic

Returning taxation net migration to the same levels as the Blair government is scarcely making yourself unelectable.

Looking at the early results in Labour strongholds, they could easily lose a lot of seats to Reform if they don’t sort out migration. Especially if the Tories-Reform have some sort of alliance at the next election.

Andrea Ledsom…people are saying ”we’re fed up of (Tories) trying to be more left wing than Labour”. Wtf?!?! Have I missed something?

Absolute madness. They're going to lurch to the right aren't they. Yes they'll get Farage in the tent and the far right vote but they'll lose more moderate Tories.

I’m always in two minds with this. In theory I agree. But then you end up with people who genuinely have no interest whatsoever popping in a completely uninformed vote. I always vote myself but also would like the right to not vote.

The sooner we implement PR the better. regardless of what you think of the Green party or even reform it can't be right a party can get a huge amount of the vote share but a fraction of the seats. As the Green leader said during the campaign only Belarus in Europe dont have PR and like the UK use the archaic first past the post system.

Definitely need the second chamber based on PR.

If the first two results are indicative then possibly. Hopefully it'll be decent number of votes, few seats. Though that in itself is still worrying.

Well, I see your point, but I tend to think anyone that doesn’t agree with me is completely uninformed anyway!

Leave seats too. They’ve just done a exit polls comparison on the BBC of how many votes the Tories are losing in both leave and remain seats and although Reform are picking up the majority of lost Tory votes in leave seats they not taking all of them, even the LD’s are picking them up. According to the exit polls.
