Well it shows Reform have appeal beyond 'Tories'

I suspect a significant chunk of Reform voters are ex Labour voters.

The defections are a sign one party is on the up and other parties are going down.

Nigel in number 10. The clock is ticking.

There is a bit of a problem with that you see.

Reform need people with inside knowledge of "the system" so they can reform it (small r).

To get that they need to recruit those who know and most of those with the knowledge to reform it are Tories.

And they come with a large amount of unwanted history/baggage. In the case of Jenrick he wants the top chair and will do whatever to get it.

Just for @Sheik Djibouti I`ll predict Reform blitzing the local elections then fading like a firework whilst the Conservative party stabilise the foundations and start to rebuild, however that is unlikely to happen before the next GE.

Meanwhile we will be left with chaos and a flat lining economy whilst Labour decide how to oust Starmergeddon.

Happy Friday. :) :ROFLMAO:

You do realise Lee Anderson is ex-Labour don't you?

That's the calibre of ex Labour members and voters you are attracting - good luck forming anything coherent or credible with that. It's simply more clowns joining the circus to go with the unhinged Tory contortionist act.

My god . . .what an absolute shower.

The ex labour voters must be terrified of voting for a party with Jenrick in it.
It will he very interesting. Reforms recent recruits could put off an awful lot of the season ex labour voters you refer to
I am becoming slightly more hopeful that Farage may not be our next PM
 
The proof of the pudding will be when the local elections come.
It may well be the time that Starmer is forced out of number 10 by his own supporters.
I suppose a lot will depend on whether the electorate abandon Labour and if the leadership changes at that point.
Itā€™ll be ironic if Burnham tries to win a by election only to find he loses to Reform.
 
There hasn't been a huge swing between left and right for a long time. It's just a case of who is able to mobilise their vote and whether that vote is split between parties competing for the same ground.

Last time round, most looked at voting to remove Tories so whilst there wasn't a hige uplift in total votes, these were used most effectively to give Labour a huge majority. This was helped by the "right" vote being split between Tories and Reform.

The next general election will be much closer, but I still think that the "left" will work together to support the most likely winner from Labour, Lib Dems and Green whilst Reform and Tories continue to split votes.

Its unlikely that we'll see any single party having a majority, but will more likely provide a coalition of the central left rather than the right as it stands. Personally, I think that this would be a good thing to force parties to work together for the greater good rather than getting lost in all the partisan bollox that has got us this far.

Take a seat . . . .

I agree with you!

I am more than happy (in one sense) for Reform to romp the locals, because then they will have to put their money where their mouth is and actually govern. And let's face it the evidence we have seen so far is that they are an utter shambles and there is an avalanche of voters remorse in those areas. So just imagine that magnified and scaled up across the country - what a shitshow we're in for.

I am of course less than happy that it will yet again be ordinary people who will have to suffer at the hands of their ineptitude, but it would seem that some people won't be told šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Yeah - those ordinary people who voted for the Red Ties. :ROFLMAO: :)

Just being a little facetious.....
 
What does native in your context mean?
Is it 1st generation or second or third generation?

Or is it religion or religious background?

Or is it skin colour?

Factual question. Iā€™m not suggesting that you are anything just curious to understand what you are suggesting native Londoner means?

He knows exactly how to get under the skin of native Londoners. He knows what he's doing. Vile man. Would rather Kim Jong Un was mayor.

Perhaps some alcohol had been consumed when you posted this but probably best you remove it and stick to football for a while.
