Part of me just wants them to let them (the supporters) have the win and let them see what such a shit show it will inevitably be.

But the rest of me is too rationale for that and I’d hate to see damage it would cause to our society.

If it does happen then either won’t be returning or will be leaving at the first opportunity.

Yeah, stay in Oz mate where at least the racism and white entitlement is far more out in the open...

At least the weather is better to go along with it.

You're already sounding like a local...

Yeah I know what you mean.

However I also think they'll still be so pig headed they'll make excuses for Reform anyway.

Like that dog in a burning building meme "everything is fine"

It'll be like Brexit, where there's no accountability from anyone on the Leave side, it's just someone else's fault or 'we didn't get a true Brexit' or some other bollocks

Polanski has made them genuine contenders in a matter of months. Polling in second place with some firms. There's a huge space for them too with Starmer trying to grab Reform votes. They'll also be the only party with a pledge to rejoin the EU. (Libs are less clear)

I do hear you though.

I've previously had the POV that unashamedly left wing projects are never going to get into government in this country as the progressive vote is usually so split and unstable and there's so much media and public fear-mongering (a very small percentage of it justified), but maybe the current climate is weird enough to allow it.

You need 326 seats to have a majority.

I think Deutsch summed it up best, where are they (Reform) going to find that many individuals that won't have so much shit in their past that they'd be palatable to the electorate in sufficient numbers.

I don't see it personally.

The skeletons in the cupboard seem to be found after they’ve been elected so it won’t be a major issue, especially now Boris and Trump have shown unpalatable behaviour is acceptable to enough of the electorate to win an election.
