Reform, and the death of the Tory Party

[secretsqirrel]

Lee Anderson was Labour.
But I can’t see how a sitting MP could go over to Reform.

Ah 30p, he of no fixed bench.

Question is, which Labour MP could Reform accept without ruining their reputation 🙂

The Labour defection Farage is promising will be former MP Gloria De Piero

I can't think of anyone he'd want from current MPs

You cannot ruin a reputation of an organisation that has not actually done anything in government to build a reputation.

So far they have just been opportunistic chancers...but I suppose that is a reputation of sorts.

People only suspect that Reform would make a hash of running the country. Whereas we know that Labour has done.

So.
Vote for Reform: they are most likely shìt, but the rest definitely are shït.

Hardly a glowing endorsement.

I see you're not denying that Labour are shoot.

No.
Definitely not.

BBC news this evening(?) had excerpts of an interview with Jenrick. Came across as him having an unbelievably overinflated ego with nothing behind it (no thought processes - make me reflect on my lobster facts I posted in the Animal Welfare thread and how some species would do better than Jenrick).

We also know the Tories did.

So stands to reason that Reform, who are the Tories on steroids, will do an even worse job.

Starmer and his chums are sh*t Stevo. Watch this space if you have any remote belief that Reform won't be a hundred times worse.

* Hint - check out various Reform led councils.
There again you appear unable to admit Brexit was sh*t, so I won't wait for you to admit you're wrong about Reform.

My reasoning would be that the Tories made a thorough and historic hash of it, the Tories who were part of that but not even up to the task of making a proper hash of it are now at Reform, and Labour are just in the process of making a hash of it.

So...

Want to know what it is like to be currently living in the US under Donnie? Vote Farage.
He is just a mini-me wannabe.

I think Reform are still miles away from having the infrastructure/personnel to run the country (irrespective of their policies)

I still believe that faced with a ballot paper and their "X" potentially putting Farâge in No 10 a fair number will chicken out and vote elsewhere. Maybe I'm just over optimistic.

But a long time to next elections and a lot can change between now and then (plus Labour getting to realise how easy it is to cancel elections ...)
