Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

I love that the story now is that he didn’t realise the investigation would continue of he won. Someone’s getting new advisors.

Wasn't it Yusef who supposedly told him that? Funny whoever it was.

He was always going to win. What will be interesting is to see what the turnout is, and what % of the vote he gets vs Count Binface.
Reform will spin it as an endorsement of Farage whatever. The good thing is that once he is re-elected the investigation can re-start. There are a few reports that all is not hunky dory behind the scenes in Reform. I guess there is only so much space for so many ambitious bigots.

If he losses a load of share and votes in whats a walkover then its a HUGE pie in the face

What you say is true, the sad part is I have not seen a credible plan from Reform or Restore and when questioning any of their supporters you don't get one beyond "tow them back" or "slash their boats"

The truth is, as you say, a complex situation with is as much about the global political situation and its impact on the world than it is our inability to merely stop boats crossing a body of water.

I don’t disagree. But I’m not sure people really care what the plan is, or even whether there is one. All they hear is another party making promises that they will “deal with” the situation. They should be held to the same standard as the government and the opposition and be expected to produce a credible, workable immigration plan rather than relying on sound bites.

And parties like Reform and Restore will continue to win support and make inroads until both the government and the opposition come up with a credible plan to address immigration. Obviously, people like Farage go too far in the other direction, but the general public clearly doesn’t have confidence in either this government or the previous one to deal effectively with immigration—which, admittedly, is a complex issue.

My thoughts as well, i have been around a lot longer then most on here but i doubt there has ever been such poor choices of who to vote for. IF the major partys do not get their acts together then this could happen far more often.
