Main Street in Haworth for me with my grudging Bradford supporting mates.

The GE is going to be down - in my opinion - to which party the voters want to govern, rather than the best candidate for each seat.  It’s a quirk of our system that for each constituency, it’s the one with most votes who wins as opposed to an outright majority.  The more candidates there are, and the more votes parties like the Greens and Reform get, the fewer votes the probable Labour or Tory winner would need.  High 30s % probably enough for the seat, and get enough seats you get the majority in the HoC despite 60% plus of the folks who voted, not voting for them.

PR would mean these other parties could/would make a huge difference at GE time, but with the present system they may just take enough (say) Tory votes for Reform, to hand a safe blue seat to Labour.

Fairly obvious I know, but unless all the people who don’t want KS as the next PM vote Tory, he will win.

BST,

Sorry you are having such difficulty with these issues.
You need to understand that a link can be posted because it is relevant to the topic.
It does NOT mean that the poster always agrees with the content of the link...they may, or may not.

The Sky link is NOT my prediction, it is their own.

Put simply, the point I made is the difference between a probability and a possibility.
At the moment, it is not probable that the GE will mean a hung parliament, but the possibility has increased as a result of the impact of Galloway and Reform.
In this regard, the Sky article has a point, but how much of one remains unclear.

Look no further than the West Midlands Mayoral election.
A narrow win for Labour with a reduced vote, but the Tories have lost even more voters.
Both Reform and an Independent drew significant numbers, which pulled down the votes for both main parties.

The important takeaway is that both will have a distorting influence on the next GE, and that impact will be important in particular constituencies.
Whether that possible impact increases or decreases between now and the next GE is anyone's guess.

You'd think they'd have a brain.  Centrist policies win elections not movements to the left or right.

Ultimately of course if they keep moving too far they will get voted out and something will take their place opposing labour.

Boris made mistakes but he was the best leader of that party.  There are and were some good people still within the Tories.

The interesting thing is that in this country no one party still ever really convinces the electorate, fascinating that.
