Beyond Nigel's wildest dreams

Nigel Farage is quoted saying this result is beyond his widest dreams. Love him or loathe him he has waited a long time for this day and has worked hard for it. All the results aren't even in yet. Personally I don't think this will result in an eventually takeover by Reform. We've been here before with UKIP and it all came to nothing. Labour and Tories have got themselves to blame if they don't like these results.

He took the country with him through Brexit so I think many will follow him to be next PM. His popularity rating is so much higher than KS.

He is popular and quite a character. Whether this is enough to get him further is anybody guess. Keir Stammer is very boring though and totally without voter appeal. But at least he isn't Jeremy Corbyn.

He has no idea of how to run a country, is in bed with Putin, is a self serving grifter, is friends with Trump and lacks the intellect to be anything other than an annoying middle aged racist who might be a 'bit of a larf' when down the pub with other thick, middle aged male racists. Any MP candidates he manages to rustle up are likely to be poorly educated grunts with highly dubious morals.

Other than that he's probably great 🙄

And those are his good points.

People are voting for reform because they're desperate. People voted for brexit because they were desperate. People swing to the right because they're desperate.

Until the other parties come to terms with this and address the issues that are making people feel this way - and it's not all about migration - then this shitshow of a party will continue to attract votes.

Keir Starmer is a flip flopper with no backbone. No one trusts him.
