Election Year or Fear!

Dispassionately that seems a natural outcome and one I'm sure our government would utilise to try and enforce it's will on any dissenting nation. Well maybe not ours as it's spineless, but any "normal' government. It is diplomacy. Trump style!

That’ll be a ‘no’ then!

Because the collective failure of those who have gone before doesn?t justify handing over the reins to those who we already know have nothing to offer and whose only contribution to date (Brexit) has only served to exacerbate the situation.

Aren't all the Reform Ltd MP's former Blue Tory politicians. Aren't all the Reform Ltd career politicians not yet elected as Reform Ltd MP's former Blue Tory MP's. Does that not make them all, current and prospective Reform Ltd MP's, part of the collective failure that went before?

That's the idiocy of it all. So many Blue Tories who are part of the problem changing horses in a vain attempy to win a long lost race? They'll simply do more of the same and make things worse rather than better.

But your ?we? is just four old farts on a moribund forum, it doesn?t represent the plebiscite who it would appear to be more open to giving someone new a chance

It will be interesting to see if the electorate will be more open minded in the long run.

Support for Reform appears to be eroding away in the polls, although they are still ahead, just less so.

And the public don't seem to have confidence in Farages ability as a PM as polling suggests every other leader is favoured in polls vs farage.

in fact the right wing media appear to be going into panic mode and suggesting a Reform/ Tory alliance is needed to prevent a labour victory at the next election.

I think there is a lot water yet to flow and Farage and his supporters confidence that the next election is already won may yet fail to transpire.

Farage has repeatedly stated Tories cannot be trusted, indeed yesterday he said 'The Tory party are treacherous liars and they cannot be trusted.', this at a time he appears to be opening his arms and accepting every such treacherous liar that wishes to defect to his party. Surely even he can see how badly this reflects on him and his party.

Starmer appears to be growing into the role and the guarantees given, even on this forum, that his tenure would be short, appear to be increasingly unfounded.

My ‘we’ referred to that percentage of the electorate who have sufficient intelligence and insight to recognise Farage and Reform’s shortcomings rather than the majority on here who feel the same.

More interesting perhaps is your disrespectful reference to ‘four old farts’ on a ‘moribund forum’. If that’s your perception maybe it’s you who should ‘be more open to giving someone new a chance’. Certainly wasn’t a ‘moribund forum’ when you took over.

Looks like Farage chickened out of laurak this morning, sending tice instead.

I know not everybody has FB. For those of you that do, there's a profile named "I F*cking Love Australia" (obviously with a u where the * is). To me, the posts seem pretty much spot on. Rubbishes much, if not all, of what Fantaface has done. Gives a good description of what other countries are doing like the 1 Trillion deal Canada has done with China. How that will affect the US car industry negatively. How his going for coal rather than cleaner energy and his push for oil, even to the extent of trying to hijack Venezualan oil, is a retrograde step for both the US and the world. There's at least one lengthy tome a day and they make interesting reading.

Reports Farage was unwell this morning, apparently had a bad case of the Trumps.

rA "My ?we? referred to that percentage of the electorate who have sufficient intelligence and insight ..."

To agree with me???

What elitist socialist arrogance - I hope this attitude is not typical of today's generation of teachers. Everyone who disagrees with me must be unintelligent? Really? Thats a statement I'd expect of Farage et al but not from a liberal woke individual at least historically responsible for developing the intelligence of generations of children, no doubt many of whom are now Reform supporters (statistically)
