To all of you who are celebrating the fact that if the most recent polls are to be believed, the Tories might be pushed into third place in the election by Reform....
Take a moment to think what it says about our country that Reform's support base is growing.
I hate the Tories as much as anyone, but seeing them replaced by an even more repellent bunch of right wing nut-jobs & their growing support, is not in any way a good thing!
@ChrisMayLA6 it could have some very interesting results, though.
The poll results I last saw (possibly before Farage decided to stand) predicted Reform with zero seats in parliament but greatly reducing the Tory vote and the number of Tory seats.
It could therefore result in both Tories and Reform embracing proportional representation. Which would be a positive outcome - although the Labour leadership would ignore it, of course. (I think PR was a UKIP policy.)
@patrickhadfield @ChrisMayLA6 Perhaps tactically minded Labour supporters should be out canvassing for Reform in Labour/Tory marginals.
