Wee-Bey Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 If the Tories haven't sorted themselves out in time, there's a very good chance these c***s will skoosh the next local ections down south when the voting system will work for, rather than against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We don't care if it is a shithole. Shit is good for growing stuff." Also interesting they don’t want to acknowledge climate change. Voting for a party presumably against our net zero targets, I wonder if flood defences are an election issue yet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might turn out to be another Truss. Instead he can remain the worldly wise outsider who always has all the right answers but never needs to prove it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) I could see Farage joining the Tories if given Shadow Home Secretary job as long as it doesn't affect the Grifting too much, he would would only have to say Hang 'em, Flog 'em & Send 'em 'ome.

Suella Braverman twice & Priti Patel too, it's the sorta position that's been given to the bonkers end of the Tory Party in recent years. Off Topic - lovin' Grant Shapps current wiki entry!

Leith Green Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 It still baffles me that out of the 28.5m people who voted, that 4m people made what they thought was a logical and rational choice to vote for Reform. While the numbers voting for these bampots up here was lower (7% rather than 14% in England) I am still amazed than anyone actually walks out the door and considers - let alone votes - for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reform leaflet we got through the door was quite softly softly in its messaging on one side. A picture of the candidate (some Perth bint) with lovely messages of a brighter future for our community, we will fight for you and your family etc etc. The other side was effectively just Nigel Garage saying “darkies out” though. 7% is worryingly high but not surprising. Would be interesting to see age demographics on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Folk need to stop being surprised that the BNP/UKIP/Reform or any other quasi Nazi party are getting votes. The economy is utter shite and people's lives are generally worse. Add in the complete lack of community and sense of belonging and we have a large group of people with a whole lot of anger that's just waiting to be given form. Add to that a political elite that are increasingly out of touch and mendacious and we have a recipe for "f**k it, might as well give this lot a shot" voting. I'm frankly amazed it hasn't happened up here. I imagine it's because we have our own sense of nationhood that is apart from the Little Englander mentality of Farage and his ilk, but the decline of the SNP and the inertia of independence will see the same frustrations come to the surface in the near future.

Forest_Fifer Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I wouldn't be surprised to see Reform doing a reverse takeover of the Tory party in the next parliament, but that could end up with it splitting into a smaller centre right party with the less deranged MPs, and a bigger right wing party with the likes of Jenrick, Patel, Braverman, Badenoch, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
