yep, though in the uk proportional representation wouldn't work as well since our system of constituencies means we would need to half the number of them in order to allow for a regular fptp system and then have other added in from a pool to bring the PR in line, kind of like how germany do it. personally i prefer the system of smaller constituencies built around a certain number of individuals but fptp is still bad. alternative vote would be better
STV is the answer, perhaps with a proportional representation Lords House (get rid of the peerage seats too). If the review house is based on shire or devolved kingdom sized PR, and the Commons is STV, I think you get the least worst of both worlds.
@meatballg8655 You would not need to increase the size of constituencies you could simply have run offs in each constituency. Alternatively you ask voters to record 2nd and 3rd preferences when voting.
The statistics are vile. Everything from housing prices, to wages. They can’t blame covid, as this has been the trend since they took power. The youth are getting f*cked.
That's not true they have done loads to mess us all about.. they gave in to the socialists and locked down the economy destroying peoples lives and racking up debt.. They have been labours best mates. 😂
14 years? The first five years were a coalition with no budget, thanks to the record deficit left by Labour. The next five years were dominated by brexit and the loony Corbyn Labour party who refused to do what people voted for. So from 2019, December we had Boris. Brexit in January and Covid in February for 2 years. Followed by the war in Ukraine and the consequential cost of living crisis. Now an election. All the really big issues are from outside the UK. All I can say is we were lucky we didn't vote for Labour in 2019. The disaster would have been epic. Just like it will be if we do now. War in Europe requires an experienced hand not an amateur.
@@captainbuggernut9565 "record deficit" yeah lets pretend there wasn't a worldwide financial crisis and almost any government would be recoiling from that. The Tories had 14 years to recover and they've done nothing but make this country worse. Try again. you can't blame the Tory's poor performance on extraneous factors outside of their control.
While I agree it does seem unfair, the problem is that each constituency still needs to elect an mp that represents them, can deal with their issues and knows the local people (in theory). How do we get the best of both? Reduce the number of constituencies and set aside about 100 or so MP positions that are filled by MP's according to each independant candidate/party's percentage of votes cast?
@@seans6999 There are a few, depending on what you’re comparing it to.: -Each constituency gets representation -That representation was from the most popular party in that area -It allows independent candidates to run on a local issue, which cannot happen under a proportional nationwide vote system -It tends to lead to stable situations that don’t require regular elections due to coalitions breaking down I’m sure there are more, I’m not a political expert.
@@splodge561 All I said was FPTP needs to go. I never said we needed to use the "alternative vote" system presented in 2011. Stop jumping to conclusions.
If labour decide not to get rid of FPTP, I'm going to be extremely annoyed. But I can well and truly seeing them winning and thinking "Tori's wiped out, now it's just us vs lots of smaller, we'd be mad to get rid of it", being as short sighted and full of bell ends just as they were last time it was on the table. ... And we got 12 years of the sodding Tory's to thank for it. Unfortunately, the best opportunity for reform of voting is for it to be a tight election and major party having to form coalition with a minor party who makes that the core agreement to signing up. Hopefully who ever that is, they're not as gullible as the Lib Dems were last time, and let it go to a referendum while the major parties control all the media and narrative, pretty much deciding the outcome before it even starts.
oh, I give even odds on labour moving to the right, and some variation/alliance around the lib-dems becoming the left. There, back to two party system! (Going by how historically the parties change in the uk..)
You mean as opposed to the labour who did offer something different, only to be laughed out of most of their seats in the last election. The voting public is too right-wing for a left-wing party to succeed, at least as the political climate stands right now
@Minimmalmythicist Actually, the German system also combines proportional voting with constituencies. Both is important to ensure that all parts of the country are represented while still the parties get as much power in parliament as they get vote share from the people. And yes, the big players having no interest in making things fairer for the smaller ones is quite a problem.
If Reform doesn't win a single seat, but constricts votes to the Tories even more, then that's a mission well done. A broken Tories is the future of the UK.
The whole reason we had Brexit was out of fear of Farage siphoning seats from the tories, despite everything we've been through the last 8 years, that's happening anyway
The Tories and Brexit (totally linked to Tories, after Boris kicked out the committed remainers) keep promising to cut immigration and it keeps going up. Reform will get votes until whoever the government is actually tackles it.
If Reform become the official opposition, Labour will be in trouble because all eyes will be on them. Reform have no previous precedent on running the country. Labour have run the country before and have failed.
I want the opposition to be Green, but it's more likely to be LD if the Tories are crushed enough. It certainly won't be reform. Not at this election anyway. They might get a lot more at the next one.
As a Canadian, I always feel like someone is just waving a laser at the floor and the UK population and political class just endlessly chases it like a cat. Nothing gets done, everyone is just running around trying to catch the moving red dot.
Those screaming zero seats are odd. Our appalling electoral system isn’t the flex you think it is people 🙄 the Greens AND Reform both suffer under FPTP
Zero seats are people who are genuinely conservative whether that be socially or economic that the tories are not actually conservative and should have zero seats
How can you be shaming people that don't enough; literal ignorance. After all politics is a taboo subject. Come down off your high horse and explain it, rather than just the typing with vitriol. What does FPTP mean?
If Reform actually put forward Conservative views then they can absolutely do so! I don't think theres many who actually believe the tories actually stand for anything these days
Love or Hate Reform UK, if they do end up with a 15% vote share to the Torys 20/25% but one ends up with 0/3 seats and the other still get within the 100's (give or take) then that's shameful. I appreciate the flaws with PR, but FPTP isn't exactly a fantastic system. This isn't even factoring in how this may help Lib Dem, Green and parties in Scotland, Wales and NI.
@@OriginalPiManwell there (sort of) is. Athens and the Isle of Man both held annual parliaments at which every freeborn person with a todger got the chance to vote for or strike down laws. Of course, that's slightly less practical for larger and far more populous states .... but we DO have t'internet these days, so maybe the notion of electing representatives you've never met and beholden to pretty anyone barring you may have a finite shelf-life?
@@TheHoveHeretic using an ancient and, crucially, failed state is an abysmal way to propose a solution to current issues. Clearly, the system in Athens didn't work.
The worst part of our politics system is the level of hate between voters, look at yourselves, calling each other derogatory names in the comments when on the day to day you have no reason to dislike one another. The 2 party system we are suffering from sets people up to feel like they are on a team and the others team is the enemy.
I like to discuss politics, I just don't know enough to really know what I'm saying. Makes me ignorant, but if someone hates me for it, that say more about them imo.
I just don't like my friends setting their pfps to that of a human figure pissing on the pride flag, I don't see why make peace with that or come to a "compromise"
The only hate or at best apathy is from the right. I'd vote for anyone with good policies, not tribally and I'm happy to debate where needed. Tories just think everything is the dreaded communism, and do not want to have their mind changed. That's the reason why it's established now that tory voters don't switch, they just don't bother voting, or vote for a more extreme party.

Come on TLDR, you've missed half the story!! We need to know about the man in the dolphin costume that got more votes than Farage last time. Is his nemesis standing?

@@rad4924And just how exactly did his bank try to drive him out of the UK? If you're going to bullshit us, do please try to make it sound vaguely credible.
This is part 1 of Farage becoming Tory leader - show them he can take their core voters (the ones who refuse to vote Labour) and let them get even more obliterated than they were going to previously. Part 2 is spend the next 5 years pointing out how bad Labour are doing and how limp the Tories are in opposition. Part 3 is put himself forward as a charismatic, Boris-type populist to save them at the NEXT general election, which they will probably go for because they have scraped the barrel of candidates already. Quite smart really, whatever you think of the man and his politics...
A Farage led Conservative party isn't going to win centrist voters over. That'd just ensure Labour stay in power for 15 years. Boris had his time as London Mayor and Foreign Secretary as leverage and benefitted from the 2019 election being a referendum on Brexit as well as a the most left wing Labour leadership in decades. People do not forget Farage's role in Brexit, he wouldn't be as successful as Boris.
Aussie here. Just stopped by to say you guys really really need preferential voting for the Commons, and perhaps proportional voting for the Lords (with no appointments, a fully elected upper house). I'd also advocate mandatory voting as we have here in Australia. Results are absolutely legitimate and representative.
I've heard Nigel is quite close with trumps team. People like Steve Bannon. The people behind Trump and Nigel have clearly found the recipe for igniting the emotionally illogical voters and just like in history the more impoverished we become the more of those voters there will be and the larger Nigels influence will grow. I'm Concerned
@@JoshuaFindlay Claiming that the conservative base has more "emotional voters" is insane. Especially considering the issues that the liberal base puts out as most important (usually extremely trivial issues that only emotional people would prioritize).
@@madontherun at a guess id wager its because the country is on the line and not one of the party leaders are actually good candidates for running the country. It really is a voting the least shit one. Farage rearing his froggy head doesnt help either
Nigel Farage on Friday the 5th of July " When I told westminster I'll be leading Reform and standing as an MP, they all laughed at me. Well you're not laughing now are you"
Why not they got hundreds of billions from the EU and millions of Poles sent back huge sums of their wage slips back Into the Polish economy, maybe we should all go to Poland that's where the money is 😂😂😂
It was never supposed to fix Britain, Brexit was supported by the media conglomerates of Rupert Murdoch and Lord Rothschild because they could never manipulate Brussels. But they can manipulate Downing Street.
You do realise one of the main purposes of the EU is to improve the wealth of its poorer members? It's why the UK was a net contributor for 4 and a half decades.
It may not end the Tories, Farage standing in Clacton, but what I think it will do, to Labour's benefit, is further split the right wing vote, clearing the path for Labour to gain power even more
Both Labour and Tories ultimately need to go into the dustbin of history and be replaced with fresh parties with new ideas. Labour are too strong atm, but this is the best possible chance to get rid of the Tories.
I hope more people kn the left are giving independents a chance, they are the best hope we can get of reforming the left while farage is reforming the right.
Thank you for once a comment i agree with. Most here seem to love the endless circle of rubbish and think all our political problems stem from the last 12-14 years of Torie rule all our politics need rethinking new parties and change. I am not voting Labour no thanks or Tories but I am at a loss who I agree with most after that. Will take some chin scratching
Why does everyone give this man so much air time? He gets far more than the Liberal Democrat’s, SNP and Greens. It’s the reasons he’s so influential because whatever he does the media reports every word. He plays you all. I get so annoyed how his lies often go unchallenged
Love him or hate him, he gets far more votes than those three parties. By a considerable margin. 30.9% of the vote in the 2019 European election 3,886,000 votes in 2015. He and whichever party he leads consistently poll at around 10-15%. The Greens usually poll at less than 5% The Lib Dems at 5-10%. (since 2010) The SNP at 3-5%
When the media is owned by klepto-fascist oligarchs that destroyed the country, they want fascism or fascism light under starmer, social democracy would mean an end to unregulated wealth and their fleecing of public services and taxpayers money. This county is an oligarchy not a democracy.
Thats why becauses he pisses people like you off so it makes for good viewing. Bad politic makes the news far more so people get riled and it works amazingly
I would hope so, as the slimy git would certainly do nothing but damage to the UK. Unfortunately a lot of people seem to support him anyway, for whatever selfish short term reasons they have.
Reform is Nigel's party. He lied about how much better things would get for us with Brexit. He does not have out interests at heart. He's a typical southerner that's chosen to rile up the racists. People voting for him have either been decided or agree with his views on minorities.
He's a southerner that promised we'd be better off after his Brexit project. Southerner that says what you want to hear. He's after racists and fools. Don't vote for him.
Those screaming REFORM getting zero seats are odd. Our appalling electoral system isn’t the flex you think it is people 🙄 the Greens AND Reform both suffer under FPTP
...The "Reform UK" party wants literally anything except for meaningful reform. Their entire platform (what little of it that's intelligible...) is just attempting to "stop the woke" and whatnot.
Has there ever been a 7 time failed MP given one national radio interview. Let alone be on TV and radio more than any other MP in the country including the prime minister and leader of the opposition
@@joel425 and they are only well known because the media keeps on putting them on the news, at Least Galloway won a seat, his party won more seats than reform in the local elections and he's on news media about a 50th of the amount of time Farage is on.
Farage may not have been an MP, but he led ukip to win millions of votes and overcame the odds to get Britain out of the eu. Like it or not, he’s indisputably achieved quite a bit.
@@bt82 they won millions of votes because in 2015 his party was on the news as much as the government and shadow government and at times more than all parties combined... It wasn't against the odds they constantly l ied and the use of Cambridge analytica that won brexit.
What about the amount of lefty luvvy celebrities that said they would leave the country if we voted for Brexit, and yet they are still here? Plus we didn't get the Brexit that Farage wanted. The Tories controlled that - he had nothing to do with it.
@@mlgfrog27Brexit has zero linkage to non-EU migration, which was always in the government’s control and has always made up a large proportion of the people coming to the UK. Voting for Brexit and expecting non- European immigration to go down wasn’t a “version of Brexit”, it was something that was already possible. And that’s how Brexiteers were confused about what they were actually voting for.
There is a small part of me that wants Farage to finally get into government only for people to see him for who he really is. Slightly fed up of one issue political manifestos with nasty hidden undertones dominating politics since about 2014. Get it over with!
@Napoleon1123 yep. If you can convince certain voters that you are going to be tough on immigration (the one issue I am talking about, although it was disguised in Brexit form at one point) and that you will make the tax situation amazing (something the tories have been harping on about for the last 14 years and look where it’s got us!) then, yes, people will forget and vote you in. Even though there are thousands of other issues out there that, if fixed, will make everyone’s lives better.
Well one issue political manifestos are better than the sh*tshow that the Tories and Labour have going on now. Incompetent parties that are all over the place.
What if he got into government and made the uk a better place by reducing house prices due to less Immigration and also improved the NHS? would this upset your bias that you voted wrong for the last 20 years and believed all the left wing bias that was all that Was offered on mainstream tv? Would you be embarrassed how gullible you was?
well if your a right of centre voter like me and have been disappointed with the conservatives and wont vote labour then yes the reform party has a very high percentage of getting my vote now that would have usually gone to the Tories
How can you continue to be right of center after the last 14 years? You know you can change your opinion. Read other party Manifestos and it's likely they will address the issues you feel in this country
He doesn't even understand brexit wasn't executed, so how can he say it is destroying the country? Ignore the left wing brainwashed clown, probably brought up in a single parent household where emotion overrules logic Vote reform, end immigration in UK.
@@carlramirez6339 My comment was regarding your statement that Brexit is ruining the country. You asked why people still vote for Brexiteers. Brexit is not ruining the country as you wrongly think. That’s why no political party has pledged anything remotely close to reversing Brexit. I didn’t complain about Brexit, if there’s a vote tomorrow I sleep outside the polling station, and vote leave again. By the way, I am in my mid 40s, work & live in the financial district, for 2 decades….
To all those saying 'No seats!', for now maybe. But if polling percentages keep increasing eventually they could eclipse the Tories by the next GE or the one after that. Farage and many reform speakers have said they dont aim to win much this GE, but the polling numbers are important, for them its a start.
The NHS has collapsed due to underspending and privatisation, why does anyone think that privatising it further would fix it? Unless you're a millionaire there's no reason to be envious of the enormously expensive privatised alternative model seen in the US.
I think it's probably far more the fault of underspending on the NHS if I'm honest, not to mention it had a very hard time keeping up during covid and having a million extra people to account for each year definitely isn't helping.
The great British nationals are in no need of NHS and their life would be so much better without pointless taxes for a finding of something for the weak. Also the failure of the NHS opens up incredible opportunities for people to capitalise the healthcare system.
@@Thereisnogreatersword literally where did you get that number from. The UK’s population grows by about 200,000 a year, about half of all growth is immigration, and most immigrants immediately become taxpayers while also not being able to reap the full benefits of the NHS. Population growth isn’t the root issue.
As I will never give my vote to a party that opposes democracy (Labour and Conservative are both in favour of maintaining their rigged voting system) I will vote Reform UK as they are in favour of proportional representation. This is the only policy that matters because until we get PR we will never have a parliament that represents us.
Brexit happened because British people wanted less immigration. The Conservatives then brought in the highest recorded number of immigration we've ever seen. It was a complete betrayal of why the public voted for Brexit. Thus Nigel is popular because the issue of mass immigration is even bigger today than before Brexit.
@@museli_addict Thank you for your reply. What i don't understand is how the economic ramifications of brexit don't seem to influence his popularity. What are your two cents on this side?
@@Badpak. There are no brexit specific economic ramifications that stand out for regular people to notice because the overall economic conditions have been muddied so much by bad governance and record spending during the pandemic.
A compelling appeal to all political factions: Unite under a single banner, present a unified candidate, and prevent the dilution of votes. This unity is not just a strategy, but a testament to our shared commitment to effective governance. Let's stand together, undivided, for the greater good.
You could have usefully noted that Reform is not constituted as a conventional political party but as a limited company wholly owned and controlled by Tice and Farage.
I think this is at least truly the BEGINNING of the end for the tories. It seems that even if they scrape by, I think they will not command the dominating presence they have had for years after this election.
I feel like the UK has changed more PM's after Brexit then years have passed ... Is there a Guinness world wide challenge going on to whom can go thru the most heads of state in a decade?
Had nothing to do with Brexit but think how you want to. The only two that resigned as a result of Brext was Cameron who started it and Theresa. Boris came in after that and resigned due to Covid issues etc Lizz came in and knackered everything and nearly crippled the economy and Now we have Sunak who hasn't resigned so two to Brexit one to Covid and one because they were useless.
If Reform/Farage do a deal with the Tories again it will be the end of Reform and Farage's political career/ambitions. At this moment I am 75% sure I will vote Reform, but if a deal is done with the Tories that will reduce to 0%.
I've no idea why ➡️ Reform would even consider it. All polls show Labour will win, and by standing-aside it just means more Tory MPs in opposition. But that makes no difference under our system, as Labour could still get-through whatever they wanted, providing the vast-majority of their MPs vote with them. I don't see how making the Tory opposition bigger makes any difference? 🤔
@@dftfire I was in debate with some friends regarding this topic recently and THEIR view was that a greater Tory representation in the HOC , one that was not hindered by the Reform protest vote by disgruntled ex Tory voters, would lead to a better opposition voice in the form of a stronger Tory presence, one with more experience and political nounce.
@@mdf2mdf287 Well tell your friend sorry but it makes no difference. The opposition can protest and give a counter-view all they want, but they can't do much-more than that. As long as Labour hold a majority, they can make new laws and change existing ones and cannot be stopped (except by the Lords, though I think that's only for things that weren't in their manifesto... or by the King, should he wish to intervene, unlikely though that would be)
Farage will not only take votes from the Tories he will take votes also from the Brexiteer Labour voters, fortunately some of them have realised that Brexit was a mistake.
@@Neutralino When did he admit it? And no it wasn't a mistake. The UK left before it was too late. The Brexit hasn't even been into effect for a decade and you say it "failed". Give it a few decades and the sinking ship that is EU will solidify the importance of Brexit. The EU is already facing extreme difficulties btw.
@@captainvanisher988 15 May 2023. And yes it was a mistake. The results are clear to see, even now. All the promises made by Farage and his ilk have turned out to be barefaced lies. In a few decades, it’s unlikely we’ll still be out. Brexiteers were comprised of overwhelmingly the old and the uneducated - year after year they die off.
Could you explain what it is you have a problem with or is it hysteria? The two main parties have been around far too long like a rotting corpse, they say the will improve things but never do and without fail every 5 years the same idiotic voters forget how bad they were previously and vote for them again and again. It's people like that who are part of the problem, at least vote differently or study politics before you make jokes about a genuine politician who have a good track record and speak the actual truth. You might not like someone but at least find out what they have achieved or trying to achieve and grow up a bit, who are you voting for Starmer? If so prepare to be poorer.
@@eddiecalderonethat’s true for everything in TLDRs videos. While the answer can be found elsewhere, I still think it would be a good topic for TLDRs style of clear and concise explanations videos.
@@michaeltrott1542 Let me rephrase my statement, The first past the post voting process has been around for many years. Most TLDR videos tend to be about something that is going on right now.. I mean, every single subject has its history, but it’s probably a good idea to have a little bit of basic understanding and knowledge about the issues in question.
I'm not sure we do, to be honest. We're used to one big party in power and one slightly smaller party in opposition, as a result of FPTP. But we could absolutely have coalition governments and loose alliances of opposition parties.
The Lib Dems and Labour have long since split the centre-left vote. If a modestly, piffilingly succesful part emerges to the right of the Conservatives, great.
Whether or not you support Tory, there is a worrying aspect to their disappearance. Lib-Dem, Greens, nor Reform UK are likely to ever be in a position to run the country. Do we really want to become what is, effectively, a one party state?
I get what you're saying, but what's the alternative? If people continue to vote Conservative, and each-time they get in they don't do what they've promised, that's just rewarding failure, surely?
@@humanbeing4841 They could have been a sizable opposition party but now the vote has been split by a popular alternative party off the back of their own repeated failure, they are in direct danger now of being overthrown as the leading conservative party.
Haven't Labour proposed the same-thing though? I'm sure they've said to reduce the backlog they are open to sending NHS patients to private hospitals and medical-centres, but will only pay the same as it would cost on the NHS for like-for-like treatments. Are Labour daft too? 🤔

Your average tory party voter probably has some level of expectations for lower taxes or reasonable economic growth, balanced or mild budget deficits, and debt, and of course controlled drastically reduced immigration. On all three points the Tory party record is hardly likely to impress them. Add to this incessant party infighting and the self-fulfilling belief that they are going to lose big anyways and Reform has a real chance of being the second party by vote share. Maybe traditional party/tribal identity and loyalty is what will ultimately save the tories from third place.
Labour will very likely win a decent majority and the tories will crawl away to lick their wounds but make no mistake they will be back. I’d like to see proportional representation but I’m not holding my breath.
Labour will win because their base only shrunk slightly so in comparison with the Tories, they will win bigly. Starmer is very shrewd politically to compensate for his lack of charisma. He said he found it easy to be ruthless and you can see it in the way he purged Corbynites and replaced them with Blairites. Blair's shadow has governed the UK since he left the PM seat.

Long term it's a good way to keep the Tories away from power, but they may see the appeal at the moment. And Forward Thinking isn't a Tory strength.
yep, though in the uk proportional representation wouldn't work as well since our system of constituencies means we would need to half the number of them in order to allow for a regular fptp system and then have other added in from a pool to bring the PR in line, kind of like how germany do it. personally i prefer the system of smaller constituencies built around a certain number of individuals but fptp is still bad. alternative vote would be better
STV is the answer, perhaps with a proportional representation Lords House (get rid of the peerage seats too).
If the review house is based on shire or devolved kingdom sized PR, and the Commons is STV, I think you get the least worst of both worlds.

Good man, zero seats!

The tories are already finished. Labour have nothing to offer other than their not the tories. Its time for the end of the two party system.

If labour decide not to get rid of FPTP, I'm going to be extremely annoyed.
But I can well and truly seeing them winning and thinking "Tori's wiped out, now it's just us vs lots of smaller, we'd be mad to get rid of it", being as short sighted and full of bell ends just as they were last time it was on the table. ... And we got 12 years of the sodding Tory's to thank for it.
Unfortunately, the best opportunity for reform of voting is for it to be a tight election and major party having to form coalition with a minor party who makes that the core agreement to signing up.
Hopefully who ever that is, they're not as gullible as the Lib Dems were last time, and let it go to a referendum while the major parties control all the media and narrative, pretty much deciding the outcome before it even starts.

As a German, let me introduce you to the concept of proportional representation. We have been running it since 1949 and it is working well.
I'm a Kiwi and I fucking love it! I do wish the threshold was lower or had some ranked system in place though.
Tell us, how did proportional representation work in Germany in the 1930s?
@Minimmalmythicist Actually, the German system also combines proportional voting with constituencies. Both is important to ensure that all parts of the country are represented while still the parties get as much power in parliament as they get vote share from the people. And yes, the big players having no interest in making things fairer for the smaller ones is quite a problem.

The whole reason we had Brexit was out of fear of Farage siphoning seats from the tories, despite everything we've been through the last 8 years, that's happening anyway
tories just riding the waves, no brain just waddling about trying to not collapse
The Tories never realised that what actually drove Brexiteers was mass immigration and Islamisation, this is why Reform are doing so well
I figured Brexit was pushed by the rich as a way to leech even more money out of the common people.
The whole reason for Brexit is because of a narrow minded public who are ignorant and mind warped by media.That's what made Brexit happen.
The Tories and Brexit (totally linked to Tories, after Boris kicked out the committed remainers) keep promising to cut immigration and it keeps going up. Reform will get votes until whoever the government is actually tackles it.
If Reform became the opposition to Labour, it might make some interesting politics
If Reform become the official opposition, Labour will be in trouble because all eyes will be on them. Reform have no previous precedent on running the country. Labour have run the country before and have failed.
I want the opposition to be Green, but it's more likely to be LD if the Tories are crushed enough. It certainly won't be reform. Not at this election anyway. They might get a lot more at the next one.
The tories would still be toast without Farage

The worst part of our politics system is the level of hate between voters, look at yourselves, calling each other derogatory names in the comments when on the day to day you have no reason to dislike one another.

This is part 1 of Farage becoming Tory leader - show them he can take their core voters (the ones who refuse to vote Labour) and let them get even more obliterated than they were going to previously. Part 2 is spend the next 5 years pointing out how bad Labour are doing and how limp the Tories are in opposition. Part 3 is put himself forward as a charismatic, Boris-type populist to save them at the NEXT general election, which they will probably go for because they have scraped the barrel of candidates already. Quite smart really, whatever you think of the man and his politics...
Opportunism in politics? I'm shocked! 😳
A Farage led Conservative party isn't going to win centrist voters over. That'd just ensure Labour stay in power for 15 years.
Boris had his time as London Mayor and Foreign Secretary as leverage and benefitted from the 2019 election being a referendum on Brexit as well as a the most left wing Labour leadership in decades.
People do not forget Farage's role in Brexit, he wouldn't be as successful as Boris.

I think it's probably far more the fault of underspending on the NHS if I'm honest, not to mention it had a very hard time keeping up during covid and having a million extra people to account for each year definitely isn't helping.
Don't we spend more on the NHS now than ever before in history?
The great British nationals are in no need of NHS and their life would be so much better without pointless taxes for a finding of something for the weak.
Also the failure of the NHS opens up incredible opportunities for people to capitalise the healthcare system.
@@Thereisnogreatersword literally where did you get that number from.

Give it a few decades and the sinking ship that is EU will solidify the importance of Brexit. The EU is already facing extreme difficulties btw.
@@captainvanisher988 15 May 2023. And yes it was a mistake.
The results are clear to see, even now. All the promises made by Farage and his ilk have turned out to be barefaced lies.
In a few decades, it’s unlikely we’ll still be out. Brexiteers were comprised of overwhelmingly the old and the uneducated - year after year they die off.
The Tories ended the Tories by betraying their conservative values - Farage is just putting them out of their misery.
"There is something happening out there" and it smells like Fartage...
Could you explain what it is you have a problem with or is it hysteria? The two main parties have been around far too long like a rotting corpse, they say the will improve things but never do and without fail every 5 years the same idiotic voters forget how bad they were previously and vote for them again and again. It's people like that who are part of the problem, at least vote differently or study politics before you make jokes about a genuine politician who have a good track record and speak the actual truth. You might not like someone but at least find out what they have achieved or trying to achieve and grow up a bit, who are you voting for Starmer? If so prepare to be poorer.
@@maccagrabme you actually got this triggered by "Fartage"? Lol
7:50 Please can you do a video explaining how seats are given and the FPTP system.
Ffs, a little bit of research online, a simple google search would answer your question.
@@eddiecalderonethat’s true for everything in TLDRs videos. While the answer can be found elsewhere, I still think it would be a good topic for TLDRs style of clear and concise explanations videos.
@@michaeltrott1542
Let me rephrase my statement,
The first past the post voting process has been around for many years. Most TLDR videos tend to be about something that is going on right now..
I mean, every single subject has its history, but it’s probably a good idea to have a little bit of basic understanding and knowledge about the issues in question.
But we do need a reliable and strong opposition - where is that??
Lib Dems?
I'm not sure we do, to be honest. We're used to one big party in power and one slightly smaller party in opposition, as a result of FPTP. But we could absolutely have coalition governments and loose alliances of opposition parties.
@@NataliePine Whatever helps keep them accountable - cant rely on mainstream media these days for sure...
@@matthewparker9276 You might just about get a pin between all three Parties - Labour, Tory and Liberals.
Thanks
The Lib Dems and Labour have long since split the centre-left vote. If a modestly, piffilingly succesful part emerges to the right of the Conservatives, great.
Sounds like labour shouldn't have sodding campaigned against LibDems referendum on voting reform. Short sighted gits.
@@davescott7680 Perhaps, but you can't accuse anyone of being more shortsighted and self-foot-shooting than David Cameron
Whether or not you support Tory, there is a worrying aspect to their disappearance. Lib-Dem, Greens, nor Reform UK are likely to ever be in a position to run the country. Do we really want to become what is, effectively, a one party state?
I get what you're saying, but what's the alternative?
If people continue to vote Conservative, and each-time they get in they don't do what they've promised, that's just rewarding failure, surely?
That's what the left wing brainwashed want lol.
Vote reform.
Nigel already has ended the Tories.
Nigel has indirectly anointed Sir Keir Starmer.
Yep, reform is taking a lot of the Tory vote
How though? Labour are winning anyway and the Tories destroyed themselves.
Kier Starmer is going to win anyway. This election is about choosing the opposition.
@@humanbeing4841 They could have been a sizable opposition party but now the vote has been split by a popular alternative party off the back of their own repeated failure, they are in direct danger now of being overthrown as the leading conservative party.
not sure they're _more_ fed up... but maybe still a lot @SiegfriedDerDrachentoter
Wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up being an election like Canada 1992.
farage is a tory hes laughing at you guys right now 🤣🤣🤣
The problem is the Tories are no-longer Tory 💀
@@dftfire What part of what they've done over the last decade has differed at all from their MO since Thatcher?
This won't be Labour winning as much as the Tories loosing. Grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory
The guy that pushed UK beyond the 50% to leave the EU, worst decision of the 2010s
So they'd send NHS patients to private care. Well, that will just clog up the private system. The DRAFT watermark should read DAFT.
Haven't Labour proposed the same-thing though?
I'm sure they've said to reduce the backlog they are open to sending NHS patients to private hospitals and medical-centres, but will only pay the same as it would cost on the NHS for like-for-like treatments.
Are Labour daft too? 🤔
@@dftfire They all are. There's no real choice.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!
*Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $15,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD* ❤️.
I'm in a similar situation where should I look to increase income? Do you have any advice? What did you do ? Thank you
Well I engage in nice side hustles like inves'ting, and the good thing is I do it with one one of the best(Michael Wayne), he's really good!
It's great to see you guys talking about
Michael Wayne, This man changed the game for me. Good Man ❤️
No doubts, this Michael Wayne must be an icon; how good is he and how safe is "profit making" with him.?
*with over 10 years of tra ding experience, Mr Michael has gained himself a good reputation by helping a lot of persons build their finances' through inves'tments🇺🇸.*
You mean those millions of people you lied to about Brexit?
YES HE CAN
ZERO SEATS
Please talk about the green party ❤❤❤
Deform party
One second he says "UK Reform are", the next he says "UK Reform is".
You get out there in the hustle and bustle of the hustings and see how your education works 100% every time!
Should be the latter as it's a singular entity.
What is the point in ending the Tories if they are replaced by an even more right wing faction?
Please tell what policies have been remotely right wing by the Tories?
Right wing governments dont let in 685k net in migration.
That's a very low bar when the current tories are more left wing than Tony Blair was
One good thing with Farage changing his mind about standing is that we can now have a vote to change our mind on Brexit ,in his words it’s allowed.
Vote reform... end the 2 party system. Tories and Labour are no different from each other at this point.
Politics in the UK certainly need Reform
Just not Farage
Your average tory party voter probably has some level of expectations for lower taxes or reasonable economic growth, balanced or mild budget deficits, and debt, and of course controlled drastically reduced immigration. On all three points the Tory party record is hardly likely to impress them. Add to this incessant party infighting and the self-fulfilling belief that they are going to lose big anyways and Reform has a real chance of being the second party by vote share. Maybe traditional party/tribal identity and loyalty is what will ultimately save the tories from third place.
The tories are getting torn
Not a word spoken about the actual politics!
Labour will very likely win a decent majority and the tories will crawl away to lick their wounds but make no mistake they will be back.
I’d like to see proportional representation but I’m not holding my breath.
Labour will win because their base only shrunk slightly so in comparison with the Tories, they will win bigly. Starmer is very shrewd politically to compensate for his lack of charisma. He said he found it easy to be ruthless and you can see it in the way he purged Corbynites and replaced them with Blairites. Blair's shadow has governed the UK since he left the PM seat.
As a soon-to-be Brit by descent, this warms the bollocks of my parts. 💪🏻💪🏻
Reform UK isn't a political party, it's a company.
@stephenclark9917...Its a grifting organisation that plays of the emotional sentiments of lower class/working class who live in their GBnews bubble full of anger and muh muh western civilization narratives.
not a political party?
It's quite obviously a political party
@@robhingstonIt's sort of a weird technical thing. It postures and behaves like a political party, but is actually a corporation. It's structured this way so Farage has much more direct personal control.
Another one...
