A Political Thread pt. 2

[Leonormous Boozer]

I thought they were electing a singular pope not a team of cardinals

Hahaha, I honestly can't believe that wasn't in the Lions thread.

The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. Petite can be angry because real concerns are being ignored but then be stupid in his they decide to stop being ignored.

The thing is he doesn't offer a real solution to anything and his one "great" triumph has caused innumerable problems. He's a little racist saboteur. Insert some men want to watch the world burn gif here

I mean people are not only following him, his following is increasing, he's breaking his own records, and is odds on favourite for 2028.

So the question is, are stupid people getting larger in number, or are you discounting these people's concerns and branding them idiots?

He's not interested in sorting any problems out. He's just seen the gap where people are (rightfully) angry or concerned and is using it. These people are not idiots for being concerned, but they are for thinking he's the answer.

If he gets in things are going to get a lot, lot worse.

The irony of him being the brexit guy and british values and blah blah...the man is a tax resident of Belgium who got his kids German passports

I'll take any non financial bet Farage will be PM after the next election.

The only real path is if the Tories merge with Reform and I
a) Don't see that happening
b) Think the two brands are too toxic to the others set of voters and everyone else.

I can't see either getting enough total seats for a majority either.

UKIP/Brexit/Etc. all showed they have an upper limit and it doesn't feel like that's going away.


Next election will either be continued but massively reduced Labour majority or propped up by LD/Green

FIFY.

FIFY.

Ta its what I meant

No worries as I agree with the rest of your post. The only realistic way I see Farage in number 10 is if Reform and Tories merge or as a coalition and Tories are that desperate for power.

 

[Flankers' paradise]

Farage has repeatedly said publically that he won't do this and he wants to destroy the tories for everything they've done, he'd risk alienating all his labour voters if he did that

Replace the Tories with more extreme Tories.

Anyway time to hear the Uk-US trade deal.

Both sides need this
Trump to sell his Tariff plan works (it doesn't)
Starmer because Brexit is a crock of ****.

 

[ncurd]

Of course Trump giving **** all details other than amazing deal...

It’s important to differentiate between a deal and an agreement. This is the former, not the latter. Nothing has been signed.

I agree with a lot of this, but the people have destroyed the Tories, deci.ating their nu.ber, Labour lost 1 million votes from Jeremy Corbyn to win last time out, so with both major parties being abandoned who exactly is going to fix this voting bases issues?

 

[dirty harry]

Replace the Tories with more extreme Tories.

Depending how you look at it, you could call this Labour government more extreme Tories, certainly for those on benefits, the old, the disabled and the 3rd sector have been hammered recently.

Andy Farrell has selected a new pope

Owen Farrell is the new pope. The Vatican wanted a test match animal in charge.
