Right - all out and buy a poppy.
Just the one?
Right - all out and buy a poppy.
her boyfriend has posted in support of this. So - last week the Party of the working people got all 5 MP's to vote against better protections for - checks notes - the working people. Today their policy is boycott the legion because of diversity and inclusion - we know what the true racist undercurrents behind this move are but bear in mind that inclusivity is also about the British Legions inclusive support of veterans with PTSD or who are amputee's or homeless - the Reform Ltd grift is vile but thankfully keeps exposing its true self time and again
You can see parliament in action on BBC Parliament on the telly. I don't spend my life watching it, far from it, but it is interesting, in an unintersting sort of way, to see just how boring life as an average MP can be in the chamber.was listening to an interesting bit on the Radio today that a lot of new MP's - particularly Reform Ltd - want the systems within Parliament changed. In the debates MP's "bob" to get called to alert the Speaker that they wish to contribute. Convention is that you attend the start - listen to the contributions and "bob" in order to get picked and make your case. If you get called and instead of making a contribution you use it to grandstand you will have jinxed your chances in future debates.
What occurred to me is that it seems for some its all about grandstanding - I want people to listen to the debate from the start and then make a meaningful contribution based on the debate they have heard. Much of Parliament is ripe for review and possible modernisation but having people attend and do their job in full rather than treat it like a reality TV show is not on
They really won't they have not got the infrastructure to do so and in the British system you need money and boots on the ground they have money but their support is confined to the few loonies that exist in every constituency, have we mentioned candidates? They found it very difficult to attract decent candidates last time around and ended up with lots of ex BNP people, in reality that's all Reform are a slightly larger reincarnation of the BNP they poll a slight bit higher but not by muchMusk will start supporting these cunts next. They’ll replace the tories at the next election.
Trump took over the republican party. Farage will take over the tories. Traditional conservatives are done. They’ve been eaten up by the loons and dax.They really won't they have not got the infrastructure to do so and in the British system you need money and boots on the ground they have money but their support is confined to the few loonies that exist in every constituency, have we mentioned candidates?

At the moment they are very useful to Labour as they take votes away from the Tories and very few away from Labour It's worth having a fractured right wing than a unified right wing, and Reform will not take over the tory party it's true that they have shifted the tories to the right again it's another advantage for Labour on could argue that Farage is actually a Labour plant
Yes that's kind of true, however the UK and the USA are very different countries generally extremists don't get many votes, I don't like our system and would prefer some form of PR however it works well in preventing extremists getting a footholdTrump took over the republican party.

If it’s not farage it’ll be that scruffy **** who thinks he’s Winston. Badenoc and that thick twat aitkins were trumping it up at the farmers protest yesterday like a pair of twats. Out politics mimics what that lot are doing only it takes time to cross the pond. I’ve no doubt the tories are finished as we’ve known them. There’s enough idiots in this country to cause a problem for Labour. The press coverage of the farmers protest is a good example of how the right wing media will assist any trump like wannabe.Yes that's kind of true, however the UK and the USA are very different countries generally extremists don't get many votes, I don't like our system and would prefer some form of PR however it works well in preventing extremists getting a foothold
If reform did a reverse takeover of the Tory party it would be an even bigger disaster for them, Trump in power is not a particularly edifying example, it's going to be a clown show, which will not be good for any party that want's to ape his natavisem
Also you forget that there are a lot of centre right voters who vote labour it's one of the ways they can get in power, if a centre right Tory party emerges Labour will be in trouble
