  • That the Faragists are tracking to win 20% of the vote doesn’t feel like a good thing nor reason to celebrate. If those numbers rise (wins from floating voters and a pact is formalised between T*ries and them) then the Populist Right looks more like the European direction of travel?

  • Think tories are suppressed by people who would of voted for them saying they won't vote this time, which elevates reforms share but yes there is no reason to think we wouldn't drift right as a nation like Europe if the right right party comes along. Farage isn't enough to attract large numbers of young people but has stated he is doing this now so fresh blood can take over for 2029, a younger charasmatic leader and some pro young people policies, more childcare, more houses etc and you could see the right getting a lot larger share. The young haven't drifted left in Europe and the UK is an outlier in that and most likely due to a fairy anti youth last decade rather than some socialist shift

  • They need to get Andrew Tate or a similar twat off TikTok.

  • This is the sort of thing that worries me.

    While younger people are more progressive how much effort is it to shift their views?

    • cost of higher education reducing numbers of grads
    • insecure job market
    • insecure and crippling housing costs

    Exactly the sort of things that push people to the extremes.
