It will surely be resolved one way or the other after the US election.
We get it, you don't care, but this need to vulgarly belittle any and all objections, over and over again across multiple threads is quite fecking weird.
What happened? Is it good news or bad news?
Ah you see, I think leadership usually matters so credit is due. (I don't think we will win it either, but we have a shot).
Cheers. Definitely a interesting development. Need to see the generational breakdown. If Reform have any young people(Anyone under 50) then it might worrying for the future. The polls leading up and during to the election showed a older voting base - 60 years or older.
It’s a strange party as they had policies like removing student debt for anyone working in the NHS after 5 years but then housing policy which was pretty much landlords getting to legal eat their tenants.
The Tories wearing red won, it's news.
I mean, it's not as if anybody voting for them knows/cares what any of their policies are beyond kicking the forrins out.
It hasn't been resolved for well over 50 years
On an unrelated note, any chance we can get the capacity to put a staff member on ignore?
True. It’s very much a BNP vibes party.
But voting on vibes can be said for the other parties as well. Even the most pro Labour people where admitting to voting with the hopes of Starmer acting as a better manager than any actual positive change. The Tory was a salvage job and hoping to hang on to as many seats as possible. The Green vote was about promoting a progressive message and the workers party was about Gaza.
Really strange election imo.
Ask us in 5 years time…
Good - The Tories are out and humiliated. Bad - Turnout was a record low, the winning party only got 34% of the vote (so 1 in 5 of actual voters) and a far right populist party got 15%.
Unfortunately my constituency remains tory and very concerning that reform got over 11,000 votes as well.
So, how decisive was the victory for Labour?
Not to be pedantic but what is longer than well over 50 years
any higher number still meets the criteriaEDIT: The nut jobs in Isreali government are not going to let it happen anyway
Not to be pedantic but what is longer than well over 50 years
yeah, I didn't read that closely
Can we at least see a ban on journos screeching out questions to people walking into Number 10?
A nauseating article on Farage on BBC News website yet nothing on Greens or Lib Dem’s. Fecking pathetic.
Farage’s speech went well then
We’re going to have Farage on ours screens every week now right? Great start to his first press conference
Why? Is that not a political journalists job?
Can you smeeeelll what the trot is cookin'?
Not really. It pretty much never elicits anything worthwhile.
Its pathetic that he is getting more air time than Ed Davey for sure
So what's a political journalists job?
The media is going overboard with the reform hype but it's all about ratings and drama at the end of the day isn't it.
Jesus I hate this cnut. Reading is bad apparently
It helps that the media and capitalist class don't mind a bit of fascism, it remains a nice stick to beat the plebs with should we step out of the neolib line.
Funny, you do up Trump like that and everyone thinks you are in a cult.
I'm imagining him facing off in a hell-in-the-cell match against a fictitious adversary named General Election
Who, me?
Tories are the equivalent of trump?
Yikes. People just get tired but you can't see a difference if you're not willing to help make a difference.
Politicians and parties need to offer the difference first to be perfectly honest
Nahh, nobody is as bad as trump. Both parties are to the right of Biden but to the left of Trump.
Ah right, haven't been keeping up with the pageantry today, my bad.
