Common sense? Common sense is understanding that you cannot stop immigration and have a functioning economy. Even in the impossible scenario of net zero, you are still receiving immigrants. That is common sense. Reform, just like with Brexit, is selling desperate people pie in the sky policies that no government is ever going to enact. If people understood that the economy would tank if they closed the borders, they’d be less keen on the idea. This is why Reform are dead silent on economic issues.

​​​​​@@belson65by tax the rich - are the tax brackets currently not enough for you? It's like an effective 60% tax for those earning over £100k and 40% under that until the basic rate. The tax we pay in this country is absolutely absurd already. I personally just can't be bothered to work any more - when I do 60 hour weeks and can barely afford a house.. whilst at the same time people who aren't contributing are expecting ever increasing handouts for cause X and cause Y, demanding "the rich" pay for more. Unionised workers demanding ever higher wages for ever more expensive but crappier services. I don't think there are very many "rich" people anymore. There are the super rich, and the middle class has mostly become much poorer to the point they are surviving not thriving. I do agree that there are some super rich who use tax loopholes to avoid the tax on income and those should be closed. However sole traders and other non super rich people use these loopholes also. For example a sole trader may pay themselves a salary just under the high tax bracket then take dividends, and live off expenses. Meanwhile though, any tax gain that is made, you then then just see governments pi** most of it up the wall with no repercussions, and we continue to get more of the same come re-elections.

@@shazAnddollysausageit’s just the weird voting system first past the post. Horribly outdated in this day.

Because there has to be a winner and a loser in every aspect of life. There are no rewards for failing to win.

Because when we had the chance to move to a different vote system people said no

RIGGED FOR THE UNI PARTIES 🤪

Yes, absolutely and there's nothing wrong with that. Populism has been painted as something below-par, naff, the preserve of the unthinking chav, but it's really the spirit of common sense. I like Farage's inclination towards referendums, as per the Swiss. This is a great way to settle key issues. If you trust the people to choose well that is, and the trouble with a lot of governments is they would rather have their teeth pulled than trust the people who elected them.

@@johnpoulter there has to be a movement , which populism purports to be, which isn’t , more of the same.(MOTS) The sounds emanating from reform have a ring of populism but they need to keep convincing the electorate and it will only happen if they’re genuine. If they are not they will be found out very quickly , even now the lying machine is working overtime, as you’d expect and the so called sympathetic media outlets, already have their knives at the ready , as that is the starting blocks of the media. Time me will tell .

​@@johnpoulter I think populism can sometimes be reductive and impulsive. Making policy on gut instinct because it feels like "common sense" without considering complex and counterintuitive details. But we certainly need a fair bit of populism to balance out technocratic elitism.

No, because Cooper refuses to leave the ECHR which has blocked deportations. Labour will fast-track asylum claims to clear the backlog, which in turn will encourage more boats. Labour will also make it easier for immigrants to apply using a new legal method. Net migration is about to explode.

Yep. If Labour doesn’t understand that they’ve won mainly for being “not-Tories”, they will get a reality check really soon.

Truss'a idea to grow the economy appears to have been a good idea when taken up by Hunt and Reeves as though they thought of it first ..

The announcement of the budget was enough. Truss planned a budget deficit, financed by cheap borrowing. The markets decided this was not going to work, that inflation would rise. Fhey weren't going to lend to H.M. Government or to the people of this country except at high interest. Loss of support for Truss in parliament and country. To put it figuratively, would you lend your car to someone who said she was planning to drive it off a cliff?

They got a lot of 2nd place finishes. The model simply pointed that the probability was of them winning more of those. The issue is that it was an uncommon race. The regular models don’t work well when this happens.

They came within 1000 or so votes several times. I think the model hasn’t learned 5-way races very well.

But honestly it wouldn’t surprise me

I think it's just the _Law of Large Numbers._ You inevitably get more randomness in your statistical sample for smaller parties. Exit polls are typically accurate to within about ±10 seats. So proportionally that's a larger error for lower seat counts.

@@andybrice2711 Makes sense. They also weren’t competitive in enough places to make up for it. The exit poll didn’t predict S. Basildon & E. Thurrock, but that was the only unexpected difference from the exit poll that mattered. When it’s Tory or Labour, the constituencies they’re supposed to win are more likely to be canceled out by unlikely wins since small differences more often matter in wins and losses for those parties.

Probably recorded before the recount that gained the 5th seat

Apart from incompetence. They verred further to the right. That was why. Starmer took up the center ground.

He's not Indian

They came second in 98 constituencies.

​@clairee4939 which means they lost 98 times....easy maths

They will. Reform was a protest vote. They ignore it at their perril.

Trump is an anomaly. The more the deep state throws at him the stronger he gets. I hope Farage has the same resiliency.

You are 🤪 crazy. Honestly, you are.

His only achievement helping liebour.

Almost certainly it will be youtube. Due to UK & US elections this year and the growing anger with the status quo, yotube are censoring harder and harder.
