I had so hoped it would at least be double digits.
Don't get me wrong, it's good that Farage won his seat and to get four (up from zero) is pretty amazing, but it still feels like a kick in the teeth.
I bet they have a decent percentage of the popular vote though, which is what makes it hurt more I reckon. Labour are an unmitigated disaster for this country.
Farage is MP so they have a good voice
I knew it wouldn't happen, when you have WEF stooges replacing each other.
Last I was aware. They were projected to win 13. They’ll need to make alliances to be viable and have any hope of affecting National Policy now more than ever.
I watched it last night. With 17% popular vote in a poll 1 day before election they only got 4 seats out of 650, which is 0.6%.
With 0.6% seats there is no alliance possible, especially when the main party gained more than 60% of parliament.

Maybe 2020 is happening in the UK now. Let’s see.
Getting your first seat as a party is the real challenge in a first-past-the-post system especially when the ruling government is corrupt and bad.
When times are good, the voters will freely vote for a party they feel is best. When times are bad and the government is too, they'll harden and vote for whomever they feel has the best shot of ousting the ruling government even if they're bad too. Those types of governments never last past the next 4 years when the people return to the ballot box though.
For Farage's party to win even a few seats is a positive sign. In a tough election like the one they just had they were lucky to have gotten 4. The good news is once you get a few seats they tend to grow in future ones.
The conservative government helped to overthrow the government of the USA by stealing the 2020 election from Trump. The disaster of a Labour government will pale in comparison to the earth-shattering disaster that will occur when America declares war on Britain.
No one seems to be asking, so I am curious... do you thinkthis election was fair and not rigged?
I suspect the Tories may have rigged it so as to not lose by so much, 120 seats is twice as much as what many of the pollsters had predicted, who typically favour the status quo. Genuinely don't know a single person who voted for them in 2019 who voted for them this time around.
No reason not to think it was on the level, apart from postal votes being a bit open to abuse the actual counting is done by hand with paper ballots.
That's good to know. Thanks
