Considering he won 15% of the popular vote, so far, I think he's done a stellar job. The political pundits totally underestimated him. So glad, after 8 attempts he is now an MP. The only British politician in my opinion to talk sense.
Oh crap. I thought he was looking to become PM, not just an MP. So the UK is still stuck with either the two phony bozos regardless of this election. Both the Conservatives and Liberals have screwed UK badly.
Unfortunately we don't actually elect our PM. The PM is the head of the party that is in power, and they get in power by how many seats they get in parliament.
Reform got more actual votes than the Lib Dems, who got 71 seats to Reform's 4.
Likewise, mate, they're claiming a landslide, and in seats yes but not in votes. Nearly 70% of the population voted against the Labour party. The election was a condemnation of how badly the Conservative government moved from its core values and principles.
We have merely swapped one useless corrupt group of bastards and traitors for another.
There were over 600 Reform candidates I believe, but half of that was all very last minute due to the snap election being called.
Rishi Sunak screwed us all. I think he called an early election because Reform were starting to threaten the Conservative voting block, but that happened anyway and he just handed Labour a super majority (which is probably why he did it - fell on his sword to ensure an establishment party gained power)
The PM does not have insane amounts of power compared to regular MPs. In most cases it's better to be an MP as you'll be in opposition, you can call out the PM as much as you want but will never be held responsible for any of the fuckery done by the government. You can also block much of the fuckery.
All new MPs make a "maiden speech" in Parliament. That will be one to watch.
Looking at the current results, Farage's party, Reform UK, has about 40% of the votes that the Labour Party has but only 1% of the seats. That is how the UK's "First Past The Post" system can work.
Farage still calls himself British so he's not the right guy. In case you forgot, we fought a revolution against the British. The people of ENGLAND need to remove the British and take ENGLAND back.
It was England until 1600 when the East India Trading Company established "territories" in Africa. If you read the "English Constitution" you'll see it looks a lot like ours, the founding fathers knew the "English Constitution" was what they wanted, NOT the British.Also, our legal system is based on "English Common Law" which does not exist today in "Britain". From 1600 to now they have been experiencing the "slow creep" of "British" rule which looks nothing like "English" rule.
Nigel Farage is a Treasure for Freedom, protect him at all costs! If I could vote for him I would! Farage for PM of the UK!

I'm ashamed of my fellow countrymen today.

The only party that elects its leader is the Labour Party, all its members can vote for this.
Only 4 seats because... not many Reform candidates to vote for?

Good point!
8 attempts?! I had no idea. Sorry Iām American. God bless. He seems normal!
He is! No problem. I'm a South African - Australian married to a Brit, living in Italy. š
God bless you brother, I know a preacher from Rhodesia and who fought for her during the war. I pray for the day S.A. is freed from all this tyranny.
I hope Italy is treating you and the misses well, are there a lot of patriots there?
Thank you. We love Italy but don't know too many patriots here, sadly, which is why I enjoy GAW so much.
That was absolutely fantastic.

Clacton is where the onlyfans slut threw a milkshake at him.
Reform just added another seat, so that makes it five.

England are the British along with Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland so how is that going to work ?

Nigel Farage, basically
