To think Kemi and Nigel will likely win the next UK election after making a pact of some kind and fighting on an immigration / identity politics platform?

Especially after Trump’s win today.

labour has a tiny lead at 27% today (6th nov, politico.eu polling )

tories have 27. Reform has 19.

so that’s a possible 46/27 which gives a right wing team up more MPs than Labour has now. (OFC in any pact they won’t get all those votes)

this Labour majority is paper thin. Everyone hates Keir.

so yes, you’re a Trump supporter

(since when is “support” equal to a right to vote? 😕 )

Absolutely agree, you can't just add them up, who knows how many would be lost in a merger or agreement of some kind. It would really rely on the details of the pact.

We've already had a non-white PM.

I think it is inevitable that conservative will win the next election. Remember that historically Labour have only once served two terms,.

Keir absolutely is incredibly unpopular, and he is going to have to pull something serious out of the bag in the next four years.

It’s worth remembering that the only reason labour are in power is because people voted for them to get the tories out. In four years time we’ll be seeing a different story, and labour won’t be able to trade off the “we’re not the tories” line that they did in the last election.

I hate Keir! Odious hypocrite...ive met him irl as well.

I hate Starmer and his stasi and I'm right wing, working class, Christian Anglo Saxon - happy days

I dunno what sort of insult you think it might be to accuse someone of being a Trump supporter, given he just democratically won the vote of a country of 300 million people. I don't live there, luckily. So I don't get a vote.

It doesn't matter what the polling is. There won't be an election for another five years, barring accidents. The election is over.

well a Trump supporter is unlikely to think it’s an insult

interesting though that i asked a question and you have been ever so defensive about your answer 😆

The alternative is that Reform eats the Tories. Could happen....

Trump supporter

You voted Reform didn’t you OP?

Stupid comment - unelected.

There are a great many more reasons than accident why there could be another election. Also - why are you not interested in looking forward 4 years 6 months? It's hardly the next million years is it?

I believe this to be the likely outcome. If Badenoch does not deliver then much more likely

No I do not think so many in the Tory party despise Farage

I think Kemi Badenoch shall be a thorn in Labour's side for a few years but won't win the next election

Labour have bigger issues at the moment the issue now how to work with Trump, I suspect David Lammy will soon be changing roles in the near future

Why do you think the Tory party elected so many weak leaders over the last five years?
As compared to say, the Labour party.

likely inevitable if she does not deliver yes

I'd say they only became weak after a baptism of fire in the real world, and then they were swiftly-ish removed

I'm someone who is economically anti austerity and pro investment in public services but I don't support mass immigration

#highfive

As a betting women I would certainly place a bet on this. Stranger things have happened.

I think it is inevitable that conservative will win the next election. Remember that historically Labour have only once served two terms,.

Where are you getting that from? MacDonald's and Attlee's governments were both elected twice in succession, Wilson's was elected twice in succession for two separate periods, and under Blair and Brown they served three terms.

I don’t hate Keir, I really like him. He’s the best leader we’ve had for a very long time.

Part of her job is to beat and destroy Reform. This is barely mentioned but she will need to to win. I believe it is the thing that does her leadership in. Because Nigel Farage has strongly affected every Conservative leader for the last 15 years. I don’t see her being different. She just has a much worse wicket and a party that is divided.

For five days? Isn't it a tad early to make that judgment? It's not like she's actually been tested with anything actually requiring strength.
