I am a 'Remainer' although I don't want to revisit it but if we did I wouldn't base my decision on the current composition of the EU Parliament. That's as short-sighted and reductive as those who argue for Scottish Independence because the Conservatives are in power at Westminster.

Legislation doesn’t originate in the European Parliament, it originates in the Commission.

Westminster has far more power to decimate the lives of people and their communities up and down the UK than the European Parliament ever had.

To be fair to the Scottish argument, the Conservatives have traditionally been in power in Westminster far more than Labour.

By my calculations, the Conservatives including the Lib Con alliance held power for 63 of the last 100 years and Labour 37 years of the last 100 years.

Reform are offering and end to Net Zero………. I approve.

In fact, I would say that is the best policy from any of the parties.

They’re also green lighting more North Sea oil & gas, should go down well in Aberdeen.

All they need to do now is promise fracking.

They can promise anything they like as they know they'll never have to deliver. Sums Nige up really.

It’s a bit, how should we say, ‘watergatey’ but if there was any intelligence on foreign influence on Nigel Farage and Reform, now would be the time it would suddenly leak I would say

(Posted this originally in the Brexit thread, sorry about that!)

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 4
 

Well worth a leak considering Banks lied about meeting Russians prior to the vote and the we only know of the meetings because of a leak, meetings with the ambassador at the time Alexander Yakovenko who boasted that they'd crushed the British into the ground,

Not in the conventional sense of the word - 4% intend to vote Reform in Aberdeen South.

Not seen much before on Reform UK's likely wins so this is interesting. Would Farage continue as a GB News presenter if he became an MP?

That’s a bit unfair - they’re polling higher in Aberdeen North…
