what is your take?

Ironside, the Reform party are here to stay and will be the main challengers at the next election. The first past the post system in this country is unfair. Labour had more or less the same votes when they lost in 2019, so they haven't gained many more supporters. Reform has done well, for a party that is only 4 years old, and had over 4,000000 votes and should have been 3rd this time. If the voting system had been PR instead of FPTP, they would have had over 100 seats in parliament. You can see how unfair the system is by the latest result for seats...

Reform: 4 seats 4m votes
Green: 4 seats 1.9m votes
Plaid Cymru: 4 seats 0.2m votes
Lib Dem: 71 seats 3.5m votes

What does that even mean?

Jon, for someone who I've always regarded as highly intelligent, you can act dumb sometimes. People have explained to you what "woke means", many times on here.

It's delivered a good result this time.

Anything that keeps Farage's aging suburban fascists down is a good thing.

explained to you what "woke means", many times on here.

With different answers each time and basically just examples of things they dislike, with very often an unhealthiy dose of conspiracy.

Basically, the term just seems to mean anything modern or involving good manners that bitter people dislike.

The first-past-the-post system in this country is unfair.

Thank you.
Same claims it. However it is want it is I don't see it going to change anytime soon. So my question is, can the Reform Party set roots in this existing system, become stronger and more organized, and get better results the next time? I know they have potential with over four million voters and the ability to gain more.
What is unclear to me is whether or not it can become a permanent feature on the British political scene.
Do they even have politicians who are recognizable nationally other than Farage? What about financial support? Any willing parties? Those sorts of things.
I'm sorry that I bother you but it is interesting for me...

Most of their core voters are over 60.

What about financial suppor

It's not even a party. It's a private company owned by farrago who is known to have lied about his links to r*SSia. The6 don't have any local membership, any party structure. Just dodgy PR companies with unclear funding.

That fits their demographic perfectly.

agism

I'd say "OK boomer" but as I recall, we're of similar age, with8n about a year.

It's true though; they have an aging suburban support base. Unfortunately, elections in the U.K. have a low turnout and it's the boomers with the time on their hands who stop off at the polling station in their hatchback cars on the way back from the supermarket

No. It means something else...

Woke Ideology is a political movement meant to deny the existence of objective truth and to replace it with mass hysterias based on feelings, not facts. See Covid and trans bullshit.

Once we accept that nothing is objectively true, everything is off the rails. That is why in totalitarian systems, the first victims are the objective truth, traditions, religion, family, freedom of speech, and the right to own arms.


Slicing healthy breasts off a healthy woman is not "good manners", moron...

Yes, they will become stronger and get better results next time. Don't forget, they came second in many constituencies, and will target those next time. Regardless what people will tell you, many young people voted for them as well. Their leader is a straight talking man who dodges no questions, and doesn't need a script when talking on TV.

Re politicians who are recognizable nationally, they have only a hand full who are well known nationally, but this will grow in the next couple of years. There might be a few of the better ex Tory MP's who will deflect to Reform as well

Isn't it because people are dissatisfied with their main parties both Tories and Labour? Especially when it comes to migration and immigration.

Not the latter since they've been out of office for 14 years and have just been given an unprecedented supermajority.

Especially when it comes to migration and immigration.

Most people understand that if the party who pitched themselves as being against large scale migration not only failed to deal with it but have seen it increase on their watch, then the issue is not one that can be addressed by quick fixes.

Pan Ryszard thinks they can prevent rubber dinghies from landing without loss of life.

He should take some more of the tablets he's prescribed.

You can't let them land without loss of life either.... the question becomes whose lives do you value more..... unvetted migrants or citizens?

Personally I think that the UK government should prioritize the lives and safety of UK citizens over random chancers in dinghies...

No, Fagotinski. All you need is to drag them back to where they came from or the midpoint. Or spray them with skunk perfumes...

While doing this, play music at 150 dB and they will be going back at three times the speed on their own ...

6 Jul 2024  #1248

Hey, Fagotinski, did you read my totally awesome definition of "woke" in 1237?

In case you missed it...Here is a short version:

Woke Ideology is a political movement meant to deny the existence of objective truth and to replace it with mass hysterias based on feelings, not facts.

Examples: Men can be women. Some women have penises. Some men can menstruate. Some men can be pregnant. A woman who has her breasts removed becomes a man.

That's wokism. If you are still at a loss what woke means, you are a moron who cannot be fixed.

I used it because he dislikes it, however you are right, he isn't a Pan and doesn't deserve to be. He is in fact an argumentative and contrarian wazzock whose pointlessly repetitive and deliberately sordid and unpleasant interjections are but a metaphor for persistent but fading moaning and instinctively clutching with claw-like hands at the last bits of oxygen he can get in his lungs while cerebral anoxia has already started to lead him down the tunnel of light.

Sad to see two Americans suggesting harming civilians in rubber dinghies. Do they think we're r*SSia? What is their country doing to people who cross from Mexico?

And teh6 also forget that the main issues for people who voted are cost of living, housing and health.

How? In the US the left is now more neoliberal than the right (and the socialist leader of Spain is a fanatical neoliberal).

Given that the UK and Spain are bellwethers for the world and Europe (mostly respectively) I wouldn't be surprised if traditional labour rhetoric will be used to dismantle public services even more....

They've done that as much as they can. Labour will be judged by how they reverse this. It's already been announced that the railways (a big thing there) will be nationalised.

France's Jordan Bardella, the immigrant's son who would target migrants

If by "target" he means to shoot, I will send 1000 rounds.

In scathing critiques, the 28-year-old seeking to be this country's youngest prime minister cites the multiculturalism here as an example of everything that is wrong with today's France.

Yes, it takes an immigrant's son to see the evil of migrants. Locals are too scared. It reminds me of the rule that you have to be black to get away with black jokes here.

Being woke or LGBT is without any doubt a mental disorder.

Stopping the flood will not save Europe. The cancer you invited will kill you. It will just take longer without new arrivals because what you already have will outfvck you - a genocide in slow motion by a million cuts...

To make Europe white again, you will have to expel brown and Muslim scum by force or self-deportation.

Here is the bad news...You are too far gone in pussification. You need another Hitler. Yes, I said it. You can cringe, vomit, have a heart attack, and call me names now...but that's the only way...or die...

If you have a better plan, please let me know what it is.

I have a better plan for you. Go for a walk.
Reading you here, I tend to believe you are 80 years old and don't understand reality, and are not at speed with what people think and feel.
Those who know it and to the same degree agree with you do not need to be mixed with Hilter or shock people with your ridiculous phraseology and wording.
Those who disagree have you already pegged as the NAZIS THAT SHOULD BE LOCKED AWAY.
Either way, you are not helping unless you are trolling people who try to return to times when a country has borders and citizenship for a reason.
Globalism is against it and you seem like you are working hard to further globalism by being a troll.
I mean you would if not because you chose PF for that. It is rather an obscure site and the number of people you can reach here is only a handful.

By the way, I don't like you because you using this site as your toilet. Shombys should sh'ty in on your garden or in a living room.
