  • UKIP maxed out at 15% vote share

    That’s the sort of swing that decides elections tho. That’s what they’re desperately aiming for.

    I don’t think it will work, but in desperate times you take desperate punts.

  • Maybe, but what happens if Farage decides to take over the leadership of Reform and stand against the Tories for betraying Brexit? Then they are both competing for the same voters and Reform would take enough that they’d lose even more seats.

  • Maybe that’s also in the Tory’s thoughts - placate Farage by appointing right wing nutters so he won’t wade back in. It certainly must be a concern.

    I hate to get too excited about how fucked they are, it always seems to turn back at election time. But it didn’t in 1997. I know that was then, but it could be again.
