General Election - 4th July 2024

A supposed Labour “game theorist” voter on C4 just said he voted Reform because he thought Farage would be excellent opposition to the Labour government.

I bet they've got a bantz TikTok channel they did it for.

Fucking joker he was.

Thanks - that's hilarious. I bet Campbell has been waiting for his chance at dissing her.

The mum spoke some sense even if it was for a Tory. The son thinks he has done some 300iq move.

I don’t know what BBC are saying, that it’s disappointing for Labour.

What the fuck am I watching?

If the exit poll is correct, and no reason why it isn't, the next parliament is likely to be the most left wing/progressive that we've had.

All the media will go on about though is reform...

It won't be left wing or progressive though.

Not a bad thing.

They can concentrate on their "War on Woke" or whatever catchy title they come up whilst the government uses it's majority to enact policies that will make them insignificant.

I know a lot of people who have voted Reform and they're not Nazi's or far-right. They're just normal people who usually vote Tory. The party itself has its odd share of nutters of course but that isn't because the party has far-right policies.

They want to nationalise utilities, cut taxes, sort out the cost of living.. These are not far-right policies. The only policies that sit remotely close to the far-right are those on immigration but they're advocating to slow/stop immigration and not to start shooting immigrants. Slowing immigration is a very popular policy.

I don't agree with Reform btw, but I think we need to understand people and not just cast them aside or don't be surprised when they turn to the extremes. It's highly likely that Reform will be the 3rd/4th biggest party by the popular vote, I highly doubt that 5-6m people have turned into Nazi skinheads.

I think you need to spend a bit more time listening to Reform candidates and also studying the history of how far-right movements have risen in democratic nations. And perhaps consider that your own political beliefs may cause you to see Reform as more moderate than it actually is.

If you would like to see some modern parallels, read up on Marine Le Pen’s and the National Front/Rally’s rise in France.

Tory K spinning like fuck for the Tories.

If I'm understanding this correctly...

The Tories 131 seats MEAN MORE than Labour's 410.
