Yelling 'racist' at Farage for over a decade hasn't got rid of him. Maybe 4 more years of doing the same thing will do the job?

Can't see the Tories bouncing back in a few mere years. Labour are heading rapidly into the same unelectable territory.

Which leaves us with Reform vs a Green-LibDem coalition?

But the Greens have chosen to embrace their own form of populist lunacy. And some will never forgive the Lib Dems for their last coalition.

Well, populist lunacy is how Reform got so popular, so I can see why it would be tempting for the Green party.

Main thing that's weird right now with the UK is that because it's first-past-the-post and the current polling is Reform:~29%, Lib/Lab/Con/Green:~16%, I would not be surprised by any of these parties forming a minority government nor any one of them getting a massive parliamentary majority.

That said I will find it very very funny if the Conservative party ends up last from that list.

Out of curiosity, which of Reform's policies are "lunacy"?

Removing the 2 child benefit cap? Increasing NHS spending? Returning to New Labour levels of net immigration, being a country with borders?

At least we agree on that. The Tories deserve to be confined to the dustbin of history.

Removing ILR for example?

Also the small possibility of being a Russian asset of course.
