Reform UK Finally Becomes A Tradional Political Party...

... by abandoning all their previous economic promises.


OK, so they were ridiculous, but that's irrelevant.

Reform ousted the Conservative Government at Westminster and shortly will destroy the Labour Red Wall in the Senedd Cardiff at the forthcoming elections, they may not pick up as many seats as they would like but they are changing the political map of Great Britain.

@senghenydd They are, But not for the better, I fear.

@senghenydd Reform helped to split the Conservative vote. However, it was Labour (411 seats) and Lib Dems (72 seats) that toppled the Conservative government in Westminster, rather than Reform (5 seats).

@SunshineGirl Yes your correct about the number of seats in parliement, you must admit the Reform party are picking up votes strange things are now happening, maybe I've jumped the gun a little.

I believe Labour will Come a poor third in the Senedd elections and the next General Election whenever that will be the Political map of Great Britain will be changed forever, that's just my prediction oh I've been wrong before if the current trend is anything to go on.

@FreddieUK Yes there's a shake-up I backed Nigel Farage over Brexit I worked in an Industry which didn't do too well being in the Common Market however we'll just have to wait and see, we need opposition parties even if they never govern.

@SunshineGirl That's not entirely true. Labour got an obscenely large majority (bad for them as well as everyone else) with only 32% of the vote. Everyone wanted the Tories out, reasonably enough. At the next election it could well be that everyone else conspires to defeat Reform. The underlying problem is that the first past the post system, which is fine when you have two large and relatively popular parties, doesn't work when you have a fractured political landscape as we have now.

@senghenydd I hope you are right, but I fear that the electoral system will enable the political establishment to prevail.
