There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

It’s a fine line Reform need to walk here. They’ve very little experience of running a government so will need to bring in people with experience and knowledge. However, bring in too many and risk looking like the Conservative Party V2.
I agree.
I've said many times that I feel it's an election too soon for them to take power. I still feel this even if they bring in people with experience of governing (albeit very badly) the country.
They still need to be getting their undercurrent of direction out to the people/voters and acting on any feedback; they need to be seen as the party that listens because all (ALL) previous governments have demonstrated that they're weapons-grade past-masters at ignoring what the public want and giving what they need the public to want (to keep themselves in power).

Reform now has Boris Johnson’s… - chancellor (Zahawi) - communities sec (Jenrick) - culture sec (Dorries) - attorney general (Braverman) - political sec (Kruger) - skills minister (Jenkyns) - Northern powerhouse minister (Berry) - health minister (Caulfield) - parliamentary private sec (Nici) - assistant whip (Holloway) - Scottish minister (Offord)
I thought the point of voting Reform was because the two main parties fucked up and we need to try something new?
Depends on whether or not these imports/political immigrants can work within the Reform framework and (political) aims.
I don't thing the general public actually has access to such framework or policies/aims yet, just media speculation on them; speculation from the media that is still spitting feathers about the Brexit outcome.
You can almost taste the fear the traditional party voters have for Reform though, the irony being that it is entirely their fuckeries that brought Reform (or UKIP as it once was) into being in the first place.

Yeah. It will be all those insecure people desperate to prove to a bunch of other people they don't actually know they're not wrong - about anything.

Farage is a Nazi & Tice lives under Sharia law by choice
As poor as Starmer has been being not a Nazi puts him ahead
Streeting I understand lives in England so I put him ahead of Tice
As for Truss I think any government minister who has died recently or sustained a brain injury has her covered
..." Tice lives under Sharia law by choice"...
What does it matter which law you live under, so long as you respect it and don't (plan to) break it?
Now.The interpretation and implementation of that law at any given time by any dominant subset of the society that has (made) those laws is a different thing.

A lot of them were back then, likeable or not I could name many politicians pre 2000s with three words to describe them all, try doing that now with anyone outside the main party leaders
Weak, woke, wankers.
There you go, just done 95% of the commons.

That member of the public deserved to get lamped.
He did but that's neither here nor there, holding the position he did at the time he should have eaten a copious amount of shit for it.

I am slightly bemused about the acceptance of Nigel as an 18yo (and probably older… what if anything changed his mind?)
I can imagine if Starmer was accused of the same it wouldn’t be accepted so calmly
Reminds me a bit of Trump supporters
As Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a vote
Doing it in Minnesota now for real
It's not very complicated at all so I understand why you don't get it.
Some people have a skill or a persoal characteristic which makes them useful or liked and admired which means indiscretions are forgiven.
Othe people are just cunts and get treated accordingly.
Take John Prescott, John like Nigel was charismatic and people generally liked him so he got away with lamping a member of the public.
Mike Amesbury, like Starmer, is a rotten festering pus filled cսnt so when he lamped a member of the public he got porridge.

Crowborough has a Tory MP - Nus Ghani.
This is correct.
It's actually the Green Party's Deputy Leader Rachel Millward who objects to migrants being housed in her area.

I stand corrected... sure I saw a Green MP getting slaughtered at a local meeting about the camp.

people forget it was Blair & Co. who opened the door to mass-immigration to keep New-Labour in power, admitted by Milliband in 2009... look what's happening in that Nazi-town
Crowborough ( the sitting Green MP doesn't want immigrants in 'her' constituency)... and people wonder why Reform will win next GE, only complacency by the Electorate thinking Reform will win will give other Party's a chance.
btw... I used to call people cunts when I was at school, some still are.

Was told that if I didn’t like the prospect of a Reform government I should LEAVE THE COUNTRY
I lived through Thatcher & Johnson as PM so doesn’t affect me THAT much
And of course if people are so upset about the current government why are YOU still here?
Mr Sharia Tice might have a spare room for you
Inshallah
I think I already said I voted for this Government
Pay attention
I didn't tell you to leave the country.
I'm still here because this is my beloved home and I am a 'somewhere' not an 'anywhere'
If you did, I missed it. So IF you did, please accept my apologies for accusing you of being evasive about it.

Apologies, I assumed it would be easily inferred. I voted Reform. I will vote Reform next time, too.
For avoidance of doubt, I am a Thatcherite who also voted for Brexit.
Are you prepared to be as frank and honest about voting Labour? We know someone must have.
