But that’s irrelevant HB.
The comparison with the current Westminster set being totally out of step with the population - as they were with brexit.
If you don’t listen to the electorate they will turn to someone who is listening
You laugh at them only having 5 MPs - well 4 now, and yet the opinion polls are putting them out in front.
I’m not laughing at them only having 4 MPs, I’m laughing at their inability to go 2 minutes without public disputes whilst only having 4 MPs. This is a microcosm of what’ll happen when they inevitably win more seats.
And yep, certainly don’t doubt that people will turn elsewhere when they don’t feel listened to. Even if it is to parties who do not hold their best interests at heart. And if people think an ultra-capitalist populist anti-NHS party who want to funnel money to the richest in society have their best interests at heart, I’ve got a bridge to sell them etc

In an earlier post we had someone referring to the Reform MPs as gimps, he may think of their voters or members in the same way, I don’t know
Oh absolutely, no doubt in my mind. And as I’ve said many a time on here, this country is teeming with absolute thickos, so I’ve no doubt we’ll see plenty of gimps elected in the future.
(You’re not thick, just heavily radicalised hence why you hand money over to Farage’s little plaything where he’s made it so it’s nigh on impossible to remove him as leader)
