I think there's a big difference in their overt racism I don't think the average Tory member walks about thinking "****ing pakis" let alone saying it out loud on doorsteps. Then there's the wanting to end media that reports on them poorly, which is dipping toes into fascism. A right wing populist party, cult of personality, wants to control media, likes public speeches and rallies and has an overt hatred for anyone who isn't white. I'm just saying, Reform reminds of a party and it ain't the Tories.
For a laugh I went to uk.isidewith.com to see what an impersonal algorithm thought I should vote for. Labour won with a 69% match. But I'm joint 2nd on 62% with Lib Dems, Greens and... wait for it... Scottish Socialists (bet they don't have an Eddisbury representative)! Then trailing them Sinn Fein, UKIP, Reform, and Women's Equality Party. Conservatives were way down the list in 13th place!
It would be catastrophic for the Tories if a sitting PM lost his seat Has that actually ever happened before ?
What a load of ****e. The two top issues facing the UK is abortion and should school teachers be armed? Yankee ****ers.
I posted my Top 5 Tories scalps wish list the other day. 1. Rees Mogg 2. Rishi 3. Suella Braverman 4. Mark Francois 5. Bill Cash Not sure if Bill Cash is dead, so I might swap him for my local MP Derek Thomas who I sincerely hope is scalped.
How would it be catastrophic? They’re about to lose with their heaviest ever defeat and the party is going to implode before it can start to repair itself and go again. I think that’s way more catastrophic for them than Rishi losing his seat which is meaningless anyway. It’s never happened before to answer your question.
Just another part of the catastrophe then. If they take the hammering that is predicted, then it will be the cherry on the cake if Rishi lost his seat too. Rishi could make history
Forgotten which but early 20th century there was one who just about stayed in when losing the election then lost at a snap election fairly soon after as leader of the oppo.
Rees-Mogg - Gone Rishi - Too close to call but it looks like he’ll shade it. Suella- Same as Rishi Mark Francois - Miles clear, he’ll be voted in. Bill Cash - Gone Derek Thomas - Gone.
You would have thought the Tories couldn't have ****ed themselves off any further than they did by putting Boris in charge, yet here they are with Rishi lol
Even if only one or two of those seats fall it will be a spectacular evening. Get the ****ing beers in I'm staying up to watch it.
Don't think I've ever taken politics to that extreme. I look at who's winning on the night, but never concerned me who has won what seat, I struggle to take notice of my own local seats.
