      Says a lot about the Tories when a party with only two representatives at the most that anyone can name, overtakes them in the polling.

       that the worse your logic, the more interesting the consequences to which it gives rise

      Cameron killed the Tory party by the going ahead with [Brexit referendum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLFo6XOoXF0) their voters have now splintered off to Lib Dems and ReformUK.

      Vote share and seats in UK FPTP

      Labour 1997 43% = 418 seats

      Labour 2001: 41% = 412 seats

      Labour 2005: 35% = 355 seats

      Tories 2010: 36% = 306 seats

      Tories 2015: 37% = 330 seats

      Tories 2017: 42% = 317 seats

      Tories 2019: 44% = 365 seats

      Labour 2024: 37% = 400+ seats poll

      They’re 100% merging with Reform, this government has proven it will do whatever it takes to stay in power.

      With some tactical voting by labour and libdems, we could see the tories suitably punished for their crimes.

      Don’t you fucking dare underestimate right wing media propaganda effectiveness because that is also how Trump got the cult following in America today and how he also got in office in America.

      These lot are basically 2016-2024 Republicans UK.

      Don’t underestimate them. Starmer has a big 4 years coming up, he needs to be alert and competent at all costs. I should be optimistic regarding UK politics, but I am not especially long term.

      Otherwise we are fucked. I fucking bet you any fucking money Putin is funding Reform UK.

      Its worth keeping in mind that YouGov has consistently given Reform its biggest poll numbers. There is a huge amount of variation on their support, depending on who is doing the poll. Within the last week its been as high as 19% which it is here but as low as 10%.

      The story has been very clear, they’re taking votes from the Tories, but I would take this one with a pinch of salt.
