    Farage bowed out of the political sphere after Brexit, but with the Tories looking vulnerable he's apparently eyeing up a return. So in this video we discuss if Farage could be returning to politics & how it could decimate the Conservatives

      I wouldn't call them "working-class Labour voters" exactly, but maybe the sort of voter who went Labour in 2015 and had switched to the Tories by 2019, he might have appeal there, and those voters right now are technically in the Labour column...
      Still, though, I think he hurts the Tories more than he helps them. I also think it's kind of a moot point because the Tories are boned anyway.

      Traditionally he steals votes from both but it's the Tories that will suffer the most next time. That's because he will mostly target the Tories to punish them but also because the many of the seats the Tories won last time were once Labour red wall seats. Standing in these seats will mean the Tories lose them all. Even if he doesn't stand the Tories will lose most.
      The Tories are screwed and it's all self inflicted. People won't flock to Labour, they will either vote Reform or simply stop voting altogether.

    I imagine his plan (if he has one) will revolve around waiting for Conservative polling to get bad to the point that MPs start sweating about their job security. At this point he'll campaign heavily to position himself as the true right wing opposition before turning the screws on those conservative MPs to defect in desperation. This is then used as further evidence he is becoming the credible 'opposition in waiting' hoping that if he just pips enough seats to beat out the Conservatives he can place himself as the real right wing opposition and focus on getting his party in for 2029. Although he will have most likely heavily cashed out before that point knowing farage.

      @Anfield Road its very relevant. If people dont have trust in the party it does not matter what they say in the manifesto as past labour election performances have shown.

      "Whether they implement it or not is another thing" not to the voter as the feasibility and believability of the manifesto given the nation's current situation and past broken or kept promises in past manifestos is what affects future manifestos greatly. Labour could back the perfect policies that will not fail to make the uk the best country on earth but whats the point if people think theyre lying?

    As some Tory backbenchers said recently. The conservatives are winning votes from nurses and labourers in the north because on a nurses salary in Hull you can afford to buy a house, albeit a modest house. The conservatives have lost the votes from company directors and high earners in London, because even £100k a year isn't enough to buy a house in London.
    Affordable housing is the most important thing in society. When housing is un-affordable, people can't settle down. People aren't willing to commit. They don't comitt to jobs, to relationships, to anything. Because they don't have security in their living accommodation. This means people are having less children, later in their life, resulting in an aging population and lack of future workforce.
    For example, in my last house share, it wasn't a bunch of students or graduates just starting out. It was full of middling 20s professionals who a generation ago would have found partners, moved into a house or flat they owned, and be starting families for themselves. But in the current housing crisis in London, all they can manage (despite being degree educated professionals) is sharing a flat with other professionals in a HMO.

    We're living in a very interesting time politically. The landscape of British politics could change completely in the next 10-15 years. Say Farage and or Reform UK take a chunk that big of conservative votes. That might be good for Labour, they would definitely appear like the best option for both centrists and progressives in England and Wales but at the same time Scottish and Irish nationalists could grow significantly as well. France, Italy, Germany and Spain have changed a lot already and Britain could be next. Historians in 2,100 will have a lot of fun researching the first quarter of the current century.

      SNP currently have 48 out of 59 seats in Scotland. They could take Labour's single scottish seat. Tory also have 6 seats. They likely won't get the 4 Lib Dem seats. In 2017, SNP got 54 seats. They are about at their limit. They have a ceiling of 55 unless they stand and win outside Scotland.

      Farage actually has lot of working class labour supporters so it could slightly damage labour

    Nice. Split the vote on the right so Labour has an easier time getting into power.

      Not nice. Labour will win the next election anyway, we could do with the toxic influences on public discourse.
