Election Year or Fear!

Little said about Farages support for Mandelsons appointment at the time though.

Fartage. Hardly ever in the Commons. Almost never in Clacton. Was hardly ever in the Parliament in Brussels. Sat on a committee there and, IIRC, attended either 1 or 2 committee meetings in all the years he was there.

If his attendance record in his constituency remains at the current level, he's not going to get re-elected. If vox poppers keep going to Clacton and explain all the things he voted against that were to the betterment of womoen, girls and the working class, then he's not going to keep his seat so won't be PM.

Has there ever been an instance of a party winning a GE but their leader losing their seat?

[Ram Pant]

No

[SithHappens]

No

Didn't think so. Wont matter anyway because if Reform are looking possible GE winners Farage wont run anyway.

I think you?ve caught ITKitis from one of the fan sites Sith, who?s feeding you these insights? Or did I miss something?

Isn't making predictions or opinions part of the reasons we post? After all TTR has been making bold yet failed predictions aslong as I've been a member here.

Of course happy to add an 'in my opinion', or 'I think'

Just a bit out of character to predict so far ahead. And TTR makes so many predictions I lose track so not worthy of response

Ive said a number of times I don't think Farage will become PM. Hes a drifter, too obsessed with his other careers he won't want to give them up. Hes also incredibly thin skinned and won't cope with the scrutiny of being PM.

He will step down acting like some kind if hero , probably hand the reins over to Jenrick or Braverman.

It’s an interesting proposition, although, imo, far too early to try and guess.
Farage is a narcissist, but he also seems like a greedy b@st@rd which might give him quite a dilemma.

I think/hope that if the worst came to the worst and Reform won the most support - don’t think they will but let’s go with the hypothetical - then a coalition of Labour, LibDems, Greens and increasingly reasonable Tories (because their nutters will have all joined Reform) would still keep him out of Downing Street.

Seeing as you’re in prediction mode, Sith. Do you think Trump will still be around by the end of the year, or will he have been got rid of…one way or another?
