RM just falls short!
Alliance efforts likely.
But alliances between enemies are difficult.
One dimensional parties don't do it.
Like RN/Sinn Fein etc!
Do it our way - until hell freezes over....

Odd Barney I thought the far right were a lot of wind signifying nothing - a bit like a fart. Let's see how the results are in France. Might they do as well as silly Reform (5 seats!).

Far-right RN poised to take control of France! More countries will follow.
Largely because of the 'immigrants are taking over our country' theme.
World crises have influenced/changed politics in all territories (200+).
Economic migration (and the usual racist factors) are competing with climate change.

I think if there was a well established, sober effective right wing party in the UK it could potentially do very well in time as well.
Reform is too new, too incoherent, too sloppy and Farage has too much baggage. But in 5 years, who knows.
The arguments are simple and appeal to millions of disaffected people. Also, while Starmer will be PM, I predict he will be wildly unpopular in office.
