Although his very successful gin goes through "BAXTER LAOIS", but his name is not on that company

When their leader comes up with a workable proposal to address any of the major issues we face right now and can dream up a better excuse for being out of the country than "putting Clacton on the international stage" ( ), then we might just feel they are trying to be a genuine political party. So far, they are an amusing sideshow.

Maybe reform will field more MPs in future and become a credible alternative? Whilst people are accusing them of being a protest vote that was where the greens were years ago.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostNope, not under FPT. What matters is how many seats you get, not the percentage of the popular votes. There are more constituencies where LD can get the most votes than there are constituencies where Reform can get the most votes.
Furthermore, at the next GE, hopefully the Tories will have sorted themselves out; if so, those who voted Reform in protest against the shower of tulip, will vote for the Tories instead,

If you look at the Statista link the LDs have been bouncing along the bottom at less than 12% for years. They were considered the third party, if Reform repeat that success then the LDs are toast.

With the exception of Lee Anderson who is a proper MP (despite the fact that he’s horrible), none of the other Reform MPs will get a second time, as being a constituent MP is hard work and often thankless outside of that constituency. I doubt that they’ll be arsed with it and will be happy with the title ‘former MP’ and the redundancy payment.

Policies aren't too bad, they are talking about controlling immigration which is a key topic for most.

I disagree that they are the third party .Like the LDs under Clegg they benefitted from a bravura performance at a time when people were looking for a change. Like the LDs they have no viable policies, only a load of populist ideas that are already out there in one form or another. If (when?) Starmer cocks up, I rather doubt the people will suddenly flock to Reform to bail them out.
And for all his manifest personal faults, Boris did actually deliver a few things that really mattered. Churchill and Thatcher weren't exactly conventional PMs either, but they got things done. Perhaps a degree of maverick is necessary to be a statesman.

(Although black and Red flags are a little too conformist for my liking. As an Anarchist you should be able to wave any colour flag you like.)

So more than the lib dems, a party that has been in government and nearly 2/3 of the Conservative vote.
More than greens, dup, plaid Cymru & Sinn Fein put together. Pretty good on their first outing in elections.
Not exaggerated - maybe next time they will need to go back to their constituencies and prepare for Government? They just need to show they can be better than the others, hardly a high bar with the idiots in Lab & Cons.

Basically they are now the third party after a few weeks campaigning, the electorate are already turning on "two Lie".
UKIP had been infiltrated by BNP style racists, reform mainly has filtered them out and anyway MPs & Councillors are shouting Allah Akbar now.
Our Nige for PM its not like Liz & Bozzo were good at it.
