General Election 2024

What are the chances of Farage becoming leader of the opposition and mouthing off at PMQs every week? Please tell me it can't happen.

No chance.

FPTP means that vite share does not translate into seats and hence to opposition.

Lib Dems on the other hand, could possibly form an opposition.

I dont know if you can make a coalition opposition, such as LD plus Green?

I think not, that kind of thing is only for forming a govt.

The problem for Farage is identical to the one Sunak faces, in that they are competing directly for the same voters and will split the vote in a lot of the constituencies where they could win.

And, as @mashton says, FPTP favours incumbent parties, not challengers.

He needs to actually get elected as an MP for that to have a chance of happening and, as others have pointed out, their vote share does not translate into MPs.

[EDIT] I mean enough MPs to be regarded as the opposition. There's a reasonable chance that Farage himself will get elected, but I'd laugh lots if he doesn't.
