“It's 12 more MPs than Nigel Farage really wants.”
The How To Win An Election team find out who has won the election. Peter Mandelson is “an extremely happy boy”, while Polly Mackenzie looks ahead to how the opposition will take shape. Daniel Finkelstein says Nigel Farage will face a “battle for the steering wheel” in the Reform Party in parliament.

Labour may have gained seats in this election but their share of support is basically back to where it was prior to the 2019 election. So, more a Conservative collapse than a Labour tsunami.

Not really. There was a massive rise in the share of non-Lab/Tory votes. Quite simply, the small parties have generally done incredibly well, so there is simply fewer votes available for the big two. Add in the fact that if the Libs had been second to the sitting Tory in my constituency, I would have voted for them (I'm a member of the Labour Party, btw) and I would have been one of millions who did vote tactically.

For anyone looking at this with subjective eyes, the biggest issue for any voter of this election must be how unfair this 'democratic' 1st past the post system really is and how it forever favours the big 2 duopoly. Just look at the numbers by actual votes alone. Things need to change to be more representative of the actual democratic vote.

This is a typical view from an old school politician like Mendelson, who can't stand the idea that the country is fed up with the same old run-of-the-mill out of touch career politicians. The people want to try something different. Reform offer such an alternative and the Conservatives might just find out what their complacency cost them, but I very much doubt it.

People want to have their cake and eat it. It's easy for small parties to promise this. Reality hits hard when you have to run a country. Reform are offering everyone a free pony and unicorn rides. I'm sorry, but give any economist those economic 'proposals', don't say that they are Reform's, and you'll be shocked at how economically illiterate the proposals are. Farage praised Truss's budget as the best since 1986 (the Thatcher/Howe one). The markets were being asked to fund unfunded tax cuts. Farage got his answer. Time he was held to account for all his lies.

Nigel's probably not there to promote anything but himself. His opening speech was pretty solid evidence of that.

It looked pathetic in the context of every other speech but, naturally, GBeebies trimmed it from that context. It worked.

I think that's because there has been a lot of 'we can shout louder' making them look more prominent than they are. Hopefully though it will help form a case for a call for proportional representation. I'm no fan of Reform, but I would gladly see them get more seats, if it meant others do too. A big part of their success I think is due to people not feeling they are being heard, and PR would be a great way to fix this and our whole system.

I notice that all Reform supporters know all the answers - and they're all easy. The rest of us know that the fertility rates are so low that we are increasingly short of workers, the number of disabled and elderly are growing at speed and need care and health provision as well as income. The rest of us know that as climate change causes more flooding, droughts, and fires, vast numbers of climate migrants will seek to move from places that can no longer sustain them. So there will be even greater problems with those fleeing from those areas. The rest of us know that Brexit enabled us to be unable to return migrants to safe countries (well done if you voted for it!), that finger-printing agreements and exchange of information with other EU countries was dumped by Brexit (well done if you voted for it!) and that far more migrants were going to come to Britain illegally once you ended free movement because of Brexit (well done if you voted for it!).
