They will always screw up because they're not serious about it

Ah The Standing At The Back Dressed Stupidly and Looking Stupid Party, they last fielded a candidate at the Dunny in the Wold by election during the regency period iirc

Most of the electorate are at the least sympathetic to what Reform is saying and they are way ahead in the polls.

If you would rather vote for the Monster Reving Looney Party, knock yourself out.

Another wasted vote.

Sympathy for all or some of their diagnosis of the problems the country faces isn’t the same thing as sympathy for their proposed solutions, or confidence that their candidate is suitable to deliver them (or even just to run a constituency surgery).

Reform’s candidate in Makerfield is a great advert for every other candidate on the ballot.

I'm starting to go with the earlier mentioned theory that Reform have deliberately scuppered it for themselves, allowing the Burnham chap a win and the prospect of a fight with Starmer.

I also don't think labour will do well in the general election, no matter who the head boy is then, and it's going to be fun seeing the infighting leading up to that.

Good to see the excuses coming pre-ballot, rather than post… ;)

I think it’s too close to call at this time…

My good friend Carth makes a strong (hidden) point which I'll try to bring closer to home.

The Makerfield "plumber", by his own pronouncements, typifies the body of Reform UK supporters. What's more, you can spot them as Reform UK types when they are on a TV panel - even the more eloquent ones. The upper echelon, however, are a different breed - some of them defected Tories.

Then you have the more refined types, like OB (may I say?), who are so disappointed with the Tories that they place their faith in Farage.

Then there's me: Farage is great; his upper echelon is very good. Kemi is great; most of her upper echelon are fails. If Kemi will sit down and have a curry with me, I'll help her put the Tories right.

Boy is this country screwed.
