Could have interesting repercussions if this comes to pass

If their aim includes persuading the Tory party to adopt their policies they would be better off not pulling out but inflicting desperate defeat on the tories in the hope of a new right wing version.With "Reform UK" widely polling around 13% as we head towards a general election at some as yet unknown point in the next 9 months, and with the possible almost wipeout of the self-servatives, do you think that they will contest seats, and potentially risk a Labour government with a massive majority, and potential Lib-dem as official party of opposition, or wil they "pull candidates" to try and save some Tory seats?
Lee Anderson confirms he has defected to reform.
Im shocked.
Bring on the GE. Idiots like this need removing from politics.what a daft **** - when Tice winds the company up he will not have done enough time to qualify for redundancy pay

No doubt he will make a career as a right wing agitator, shit stirrer and gbnews presenter.
There is money out there for promoting far right wing BS. He's made a name for himself.Go back to mid-2019 nobody had heard of him - four and a half years later its this. Believe me he gets voted out in the GE and in two years time he will be unemployed spending 8 hours over 2 pints in Wetherspoons angry that the papers keep running articles on how he is signing on and broke.
Last guy who did this was Dounglas Carswell - BUT - Carswell was from a family with parents that have professional background and was educated at boarding school. He has a posh accent and a degree and even he had to go to Mississippi to get a job.
Where the fuck is an ageing racist ex-mine worker going to have to go to get a job?
The people who listened to the Brexit promises (put out by some of those now involved in Reform, with Farage likely to join in soon) have looked around and seen that Brexit hasn't improved their lot.Is there any chance reform gets more seats than the Tories?
No, doubt they will get any.Is there any chance reform gets more seats than the Tories?

Also noted in his speech today that he had a go at culture wars.
The same culture wars he has contributed so much to with his facile soundbites.

The party will be deader than dead if Labour win with a large majority.He'll need the backing for the election.
Maybe he thinks he'll get a senior position if Reform try strongarming the Conservatives after the election.
