I hope Farage leads reform, that will reduce the Tories even more.
We actually do need big reforms in this country. I hate Farage for brexit, but credit where credits do he did something I thought was impossible. Hopefully he can help push through some much needed reforms in the UK which the party stands for but they will never see power.
I cannot put into words how much I hate first past the post, its the worst voting system. Also why are there are so many people that have land money and power because of William the first gave there ancestors land, Lords needs to end. Immigration is way too high, bringing in as many people per year as a large city and targeting house building less than half that is a crisis. This country is doing pretty badly but a few big decisions and it could be a lot better. As bad as reform are, they are right in some ways and the less power the tories have the better.
Edit: Guess people like the Tories or they don’t understand FPTP voting.
I think people don’t like your suggestion/implication of Farage being the one pushing through reforms more than liking Tories.
Who else is then? Labour aren’t.
The more votes Farage gets the less the Tories get. Right win people aren’t going to vote for the green party so it’s good that there is a right wing party 1 splitting the vote and 2 pushing for actual good things so yea as unpopular as it is I hope the tories lose seats and more people on the right want changes to be made.
Anyone else think Biden and Sunak are incentivised to take US and UK put boots on the ground over Israel-Hamas-Houthi conflicts? Tories face wipe-out, and Biden faces a close call with Trump, and nothing helps guarantee re-election like being at war.
That theory doesn’t make much sense to me. The military conflicts have been political losers for Biden. Polling consistently shows that Americans believe (for some insane reason) that the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts wouldn’t have happened under Trump. Gaza in particular has split Biden’s base. The best thing that could happen for Biden is if all the conflicts end before the election.
It seems there are some in the UK Government willing to game the Israel Gaza conflict to their electoral advantage. Not boots on ground, and thankfully its being called out by the opposition as wrong, but shows they are at least considering this in their deliberations for calling for a ceasefire. https://feddit.uk/post/9265224
