The Reform Party

A 'focused protection' policy to protect the most vulnerable so the rest of the population can develop herd immunity and get on with keeping the economy alive as well as thousands of people --- I'll have some of thatΒ πŸ‘

This is where very poor leadership leads. A big hole for opportunists like Farage to fill.Β

This nothing but good news, apart from maybe having to see more of theΒ  unemployed talk radio DJ. Will only appeal to the elderly, white and lesser educated cohort that Johnson/Cummings hoovered up last year to get their large majority. If it chips a few percentage points off the 39% the Tories currently have that can be nothing be good.

So your going to sweep the board with a freshly invigorated United labour party?

Is that with or without Corbyn?

The reform party it is

Doris has proved himself as out of touch as BigFish

and by the way it changes nothing, just makes a coalition more likely

Yep, Nigel's found his latest opportunist scam and the usual types unquestioningly jump on board.

Farage does make a fair point that our electoral models are antiquated and not fit for purpose. I've said several times that our first-past-the-post election model is outdated, undemocratic, and effectively useless. This is one of those cases where as much as I rarely agree with him, this is one where I do.

Yeah I agree with that at least- as much as I don't like their policies it was a scandal that UKIP got nearly 4m votes in 2015 but only 1 seat, while the SNP got under 3m votes yet ended up with 56 seats.

The system does need an overhaul for sure but this 'Reform' party isn't the answer. We have had two party politics for far too long with these two groups of idiots leading the country. It's not likely to ever change though as they'll hold on to power for as long as they can. I can't see a way to get a change in voting system through parliament.Β

It's called the Reform Party because all its members are required to be ex-Reform school in-mates. Great news for Labour!

If RUK get above 10% support, yes it will be board sweeping time (without Corbyn)

Needs the LibDems to come on strong, like when we had the AV referendum. Problem was that AV was the proposed idea and not full proportional representation or indeed my preference of going full Swiss.

I believe there is a lot of recruiting potential on the main Coronavirus thread given a lot of posters' views of lockdown. Maybe Farage has hit upon a big seam of discontent if that thread is reflective of the population. I know, according to polls, that 72% of the population support the lockdown (YouGov) but that leaves a large minority.Β

The Swiss system does seem to get people really involved in decision making

More pertinently, it gets those involved who are interested and therefore more likely to be reasonably informed. If you're not that interested in the topic matter, no worries, as there'll be another referendum soon enough on a topic you may have more interest in.

Sure. For as long as politicians and the electorate want fundamentally opposite things, that will happen. Politicians want safe seats. The electorate wants their party to have a chance.

I would think thatΒ many a 'Brexit' voter may be questioning themselves as to what theyΒ actually have in common with Farage. Seeds of self doubt I wouldΒ guess are sprouting in the mindsΒ of many - especially the nostalgic elderly. Arh wellΒ  - three score years and ten seems about right πŸ˜‰
