Careful now - people might start to notice that you need the organised Left to defeat the far right, and they might start to ponder the implications of that for the UK...

Probable outcome is that they realise FPTP is unlikely to deliver extremists to power, regardless of vote share.

I've been enjoying footage of assembled groups of National Front* supporters watching the results come in from the exit polls.***

*Yes, I know they arent called that now

** The RN supporters really are quite stupid. It is illegal to broadcast the results of the exit poll before 8pm. But those laws cannot be enforced abroad, and Belgian tv beamed it out earlier. Anyone with a brain already knew the result before 8pm
