Add the millions and millions spent by "dark"money and the massive over-coverage of Farage et al. Even today Reform are getting magnitudes more airtime than LD or Greens.

    It will depend i think on how badly labour do. Reform came second in 98 constituencies. 89 of which were labour. Lib dems came second in 91, 80 of which were Tory so they potentially arent dipping into the same pots. It would be ironic if the 2 major parties get deposed by the 2 minor parties. Even more ironic is that the Labour vote is defecting to reform, but then its always been said that "old labour" voters were socially conservative folks.

The UK is in very serious trouble. people live hand to mouth, pay check to paycheck, struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their heads regardless of how hard they work. The middle class is shrinking and poverty on the rise. The dominant right wing media is blaming the weakest and the persecuted minorities for the mistakes and greed and the ever growing riches of a small group who do not even live in the UK. The voting public will never take the time to research as to why they are poor slaves to the system. Angry and fuming with rage makes them so easy to manipulate and they will follow any vile populist conman over the cliff. Never underestimate how desperation and anger can cloud any reasoning.

    I don't see Starmer in charge of Labour come the next election let alone winning ( not that it makes much difference who's in charge looking at the possible leader contenders). Likewise Badenoch will probably get the elbow before then, And as for Ed Davey, well he's neither use nor ornament and has as much political clout as the paddle board he pretended to fall off. And that's why Farage can become MP. Johnson won the previous election because of him, Brexit was achieved because of him. Trump was inspired by him. Look at what's happening in Europe and the swing to the right ( Italy, Netherlands , Sweden, Poland, Hungary) Le Penn and the NF in France.. and the rise of AfD in Germany...it can happen and Farage ( especially with the financial backing Reform is now receiving) can definitely do it, remember "Elections aren't won..they're lost"

    Reform has a big problem when it comes to winning elections, namely that rightly or wrongly, it takes a lot more votes to elect a Reform MP than it does to elect a Labour or Tory one.
    That´s in part because the Reform vote is very concentrated in certain parts of the country, i.e the rust belt and coastal cities that have seen better days.
    So it´s not unrealistic that they will get slightly more votes than the Tories or Labour, but a Farage premiership is unlikely (unless he gets slightly more seats than the Tories and goes into coalition with them, which is unlikely).
    I think the easiest way for Farage to become PM, is if Badenoch gets dumped and Farage becomes the leader of the Tory party, though that´s unlikely as he won´t want to abandon the Reform party, he makes quite a lot of money out of it and has absolute control.

      @ Really? What good has he ever done? What real thought out policies does he have? All he has is populism of the lowest dog whistle blowing kind. The fact that in all the years he was a member of the EU Parliament but rarely if ever attended and never had any constructive ideas , in particular I think of fishing - he attended precisely one meeting (the first) of the EU Parliament Fisheries Committee and never attended again. He admitted that the reason he went to the first meeting was to sign on as a member and that ensured he got paid per session thereafter for the next three years. That’s simply fraud.
      As to the UK fisherfolk he sold them down the river with a tissue of lies promising unregulated fishing and selling and untold wealth. The fact is that the f-k-g liar knows that worldwide fishing is governed by two things: first the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and secondly by international trade rules and trade treaties that almost all include fishing.
      The fact that the EU Common Fisheries Policy is based on UNCLOS rules and that Brexit does not mean and could never mean a free for all for UK fisherfolk and that in fact the UK had a very generous quota per species of fish under the EU CFP was never mentioned by Nigel nor was the fact that starting with Thatcher UK fish quotas had been commodified as goods to be sold to the highest bidder and that the majority of UK fishing quotas under UNCLOS rules have been sold on in long term contracts by British fisherfolk themselves.
      Farage also neglected to find out the fact that fishing rights and the right to sell your catch are different things entirely and how now out of the EU and with a terrible trade deal - the EU-UK TCA is by deliberate design of hardline Brexiters am appalling trade deal for UK agriculture, fishing, manufacturing etc -
      the catch of UK fisherfolk cannot be sold in EU markets and Brits eat relatively little fish.
      Farage ruined the UK fishing industry and he now runs away from mentioning it.
      When asked in a recent Question Time to list the benefits of cutting and burning all trade links with the largest single market in the world and by far the UK’s premier trade market, Farage had no good answers.
      He can only fall back to the trope of ‘we never got a proper Brexit’ which is the standard argument of Reform UK.
      Nigel Farage is a charlatan of the worst order.

    However there are a number of reasons why I say no. Not a chance. And just one I will offer that I think is significant because it is one which will resonate with everyone. Unavoidable.
    And that can be articulated as the question "can these people who have never ever delivered anything at all at the national or local level (Parliament/Council) be trusted to deliver what they say, just because they say so?" Labour and the Tories are credible because they have previous. Reform UK have none. Yes they have big gobs, but what have they actually delivered? Erm.... nothing.
    There is some rumour of Farage becoming PM as the Tory Leader, but I think that is wet dreaming by some. There are many on the Tory right who dislike him intensely, putting it mildly.
    Associating himself so intimately with Trump is a mistake. To promote his image (Farage is image not substance) he chose a poisoned chalice. Much too hot to handle. Out of his league. It will burn him.

    You touch upon the issue that is a political crisis in many countries at the moment: a majority of voters are disenfranchised. They do not feel represented by the parties they supported, and do not see another option that suits them. And it isn't just not agreeing with every single policy of a party, but of feeling abandoned politically. This happened in France in The 18th Century, though this is now tragically misunderstood. The Revolution wasn't the result of peasants rising up because they couldn't afford bread, it finally began because The Third Estate, which consisted of people from the very wealthy to the very poor (and is where the term "Third World" is derived for the same reasons) felt entirely disenfranchised and declared The National Assembly with the other 2 estates (through outvoting them) and in direct defiance of Louis XVI. I've often found it interesting how this vital step in The French Revolution is always sidestepped or completely ignored in the teaching of it. I suppose if more people were aware of it, governments would be in far greater peril. After all, The French Revolution, while protracted and far from smooth, was much more successful than The Peasants' Revolution of The 14th Century in England.

    If we have another government he should be. Nobody should ever vote Labour, conservatives or lib Dems. But lib dems would be good enough. Anything to make labour and conservatives reaskise theyre done. But. I personally think an world AI government will be in place by 2029 and why Donald Trump said trust him, after this vote i promise youll never have to vote again
    I dont think you get just how finished labour and conservatives are
    Dont vote for any of them again

    Reform isnt about Brexit though now is it? regardless of how much of a bee in your bonnet this is. Reform is primarily focused on immigration (a topic i noticed you avoided listing) but according to the "top issues facing the country" on the Yougov site the public place 2nd. Making reform not so irrelevant, even if just the threat of them forces Labour to actually do something about it.

      The thing is people think that there are magic wand solutions to this problem. Reform is a hardline Thacherite party, as well as being far right on cultural issues, that means that ironically they wouldn´t have enough money to hire the Border force officers they need to carry out their programme.

      However it´s a problem too that people engage in magical thinking and think you can have a Scandinavian welfare state with low levels of taxation and immigration.
      That´s what the public wants in opinion polls and that combination isn´t really possible.

    I don't think this is the concept Farage has. I think, if he is the figure with momentum on the right, he will think he deserves the Conservative nomination. You think serious people will not see the right wing majority and act stupidly. But they will.

    I hope Farage will be the next prime minister but it will be a very long and difficult road. The system is stacked against it. The Liberal Democrats are pointless.
    The right is split and that is a big problem. Reform is not just a one issue party . The UK desperately needs a solid right wing party just as America needed Trump.
    Reform will take votes from Labour just as Boris took the working class vote. If coherent practical policies are the requirement for government how do you explain
    this Labour government.
