It's not as though you have to get up to go to work .ffs i was just about to go to bed
So you wouldn't value it if it wasn't diverse. What utter tosh.I find it depressing that anyone would vote Reform to be honest. I value this country because it is diverse and think it is a strength not a problem.
For so many to vote for a party because of one man on one issue is deeply troubling.So you wouldn't value it if it wasn't diverse. What utter tosh.
Troubling for you, not for those who voted for them. Why on earth are you " troubled" by it ?For so many to vote for a party because of one man on one issue is deeply troubling.

Someone turning up, literally blaming foreigners for every problem in the country and winning loads of votes isn’t a cause for concern? OKTroubling for you, not for those who voted for them. Why on earth are you " troubled" by it ?
its funny how dismissive you were about the “right” share of the vote in France. It looks like Labour will have a massive majority with only about the same percentage share. Labour clearly didn’t win the argument but have managed to win the election.The "right" only got about 33% in France and their "massive gains" in Germany saw them them get half the votes of the CDU. While Meloni in Italy only got 20 something % of the vote and The Scandi far right parties crumbled.
If you want to talk about Europe let is keep it factual.
Reform have a lot to thank the Tories for.Labour have a lot to thank Reform for. The people haven’t supported Labour but shown their anger at the Tories by splitting the right of centre vote between Cons and Reform.
So what other key note policies will Reform be championing over the next 5 years other than ‘blame the foreigners’its funny how dismissive you were about the “right” share of the vote in France.

Agreed. It's not about voting for the policies of Reform so much as a statement on the main two parties.Labour have a lot to thank Reform for. The people haven’t supported Labour but shown their anger at the Tories by splitting the right of centre vote between Cons and Reform.
I've been up and swimming since half 6You all been on speed through the night or something? Anybody slept?
Labour have hardly a greater share of the vote than last time - when they suffered a heavy defeat. Hardly a ringing endorsement of their policies, is it. They will have to play their cards very carefully despite having a huge majority, many of their gains would easily be reversed.Reform have a lot to thank the Tories for.
But they only won 4 seats and less than 5 million voted for them so you don't need to worry about it.So what other key note policies will Reform be championing over the next 5 years other than ‘blame the foreigners’
I still reckon he’ll end up as Tory leader at some point if they go even further to the right. Possibly even unifying the two parties.Having just woken up to these results my thoughts are actually to be pretty concerned at how many votes Snake Oil UK has gained on a single issue with a single charlatan leading the charge. Combined with a drop in turnout basically everywhere and Labour’s vote share not changing substantially, there’s a serious job for them to do if they want a second term.
The destruction of the SNP however is a thing of beauty and hopefully is repeated in the Holyrood elections.
If the Reform vote was largely a protest vote by usual Tory voters, Reform policies were probably of little interest this time and will be even less so next time. Those protest votes return to Tories and Labour are toast.So what other key note policies will Reform be championing over the next 5 years other than ‘blame the foreigners’
Loads of votes ? Less than 5 million . Surely you're not troubled by such low numbers ?Someone turning up, literally blaming foreigners for every problem in the country and winning loads of votes isn’t a cause for concern? OK
They will enjoy their moment of victory. The party analysts will be more concerned.But they only won 4 seats and less than 5 million voted for them so you don't need to worry about it.
I think he is concerned.Loads of votes ? Less than 5 million . Surely you're not troubled by such low numbers ?

It really depends on how mad they go. Unifying the parties would be a long shot but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him ending up as leader, which I think is his long game.Currently 11/1.
Can't see them uniting, don't think the tories, who will be trying to rebuild their reputation for fiscal responsibility can align themselves with a manifesto which would be one of the greatest give aways in history with (currently) no explanation of how it will be paid for.
If you don't think there's a difference between the parties, or they're all frauds then why are you on here seemingly cheerleading for Reform?
The people who voted for Brexit didn't really have a clue what they were voting for; they either bought a grand lie, or wanted to give "the establishment" a poke in the eye, or didn't like immigrants.
The same sort of people are voting for Reform for the same 'reasons', with a bit of racism added into the mix. It's not something to celebrate, imho.
If the Tories want to get back in they either have to make him go away or unite with him. Either way, Starmer only got 35% of the vote in England. I could genuinely see it being a one term governmentI still reckon he’ll end up as Tory leader at some point if they go even further to the right. Possibly even unifying the two parties.
