JS_FFC Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 On those numbers about 100 Labour MPs could set up a new party and become the official opposition, ask Sir Keir Starmer friendly questions every week at PMQs, and the remaining Labour MPs would still have a majority of well over 100. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much inevitable that Labour MPs will set up a new party every twenty years or so anyway. Hopefully the next one doesn't sound as much like a financial institution. Pretty sure I had investments through The Independent Group and an SDP current account in the Eighties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right of centre vote is split almost equally between two parties which is a disastrous strategy under FPTP. One of the reasons the Tories won a majority last time is because the then Brexit Party stood aside and gave the Conservatives a free run at uniting the right of centre vote (plus some lended “get Brexit done” votes). I would absolutely love to see the right split their vote down the middle and hand Labour an absolutely whomping majority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 We are heading for a Tory/Reform deal. Hopefully the price is a promise to hold a referendum on PR. I'm not sure what else Reform offer apart from Farage and anti immigration, two cards which they've played this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what else Reform offer apart from Farage and anti immigration, two cards which they've played this week. Reform aren’t going to do a deal that involves standing aside en masse. They know the Tories aren’t going to win so the Tory concession to them won’t actually be achieved. If there’s a deal it’ll just be to stand aside in some Tory shire seats in return for the Tories standing aside in Brexity shitholes like Clacton to allow Farage and a few other Reform candidates to win their seats. But personally I think there won’t be any pact. Farage has a genuine chance here to pick up about 25% of the vote and win dozens of seats. Tory + Reform has been consistently polling about 35% for months and I genuinely believe Reform can end up winning the majority of that 35%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Reform is a Trojan Horse to get Nigel Farage a seat, primarily to give him a strong hand with the Tories to negotiate a defection and safe seat rather than overtaking them in the polls. If he pulls that off then he could lead the Tories whenever he wanted - their membership obviously cream over him and in the current climate, even senior MPs would too. Labour will have an unprecedented amount of power but not the slightest idea how to use it and will be easy pickings for a fascist, populist opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - they are going to sort out NHS waiting lists, halve violence against women and girls, bring in taxpayer owned players into the energy market and railways, and manage the economy prudently without raising the big three personal taxes.
