I think labour have won anyway and I don't know that I could vote for more of the same from the conservatives so it would have to be reform or the monster raving loony party and not enough people will vote mrlp to make the main stream parties think about us a little bit.

No tin hat required from my direction, this country needs this man in 2024 like 1940 needed a man like Churchill, maybe far from perfect but he's got balls and, by God, do we need them now.

Labour will get in anyway, the conservatives are a washed up spent force, they've had years to do the things they're promising now and didn't. British politics needs a shake up, Farage is the man to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories just ran out of ideas when the reality of the situation unfolded. They were unable to reconcile providing a safe route to refugees with their rhetoric of anti immigrant. Exactly the same with Brexit and trade deal with India. Each desirable requires a reality pill that the tories and it's voter base can't swallow. Trying to pander to the right wing minorities is never going to win the centre ground. Fighting for power on the marginal topics has limited opportunity for success. Even if it could be delivered it would be at the expense of the UK being branded a pariah state. 1 minute ago, Gordon R said: I suspect oowee will be along to agree with you.

It won't be changed by Starmer or the Tories as it keeps them in power. No one wants to risk a third party. Never say never I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
