The singular most consistent and defining factor is trauma experienced as a child and the loss of at least one ( often both ) parents to the actions of a foreign power .

Hamas probably want completely unreasonable things though, like an actual end to the war. And some guarantees that Israel won't just round up another 7 people for every Palestinian prisoner they release. And have probably turned down completely reasonable requests such as all standing out in an ope...

Sure, we'll just go on with rampant cronyism and higher taxes for worse outcomes under the Tories instead. I’m not here to defend the Tory mad spending …..

The spending from Starmer will still be legendary and on stupid things. They’ll still arbitrarily tax further and further into agerage earners and still take us closer to bankruptcy and interest rates soaring.

While the Tory vote has collapsed the numbers voting Labour this recent run was well down too. Apathy is the big winner.

Think you're wrong. But time will tell. Well I don’t think there much enthusiasm for anyone, and we could have the worst of all cases which is small minority Labour. Many traditional labour voters will stay home too and conservatives are traditionally more inclined to go out and vote. Think it'll b...

Nah. It was labour voters voting for ukip ... Not gaslighting. Tory voters will turn up at a general election, just not enough to beat the grey millionaire sir Keir KC They’re staying at home.

No. Reform is much further right than mainstream Tory, which has been centre right since Boris was elected, and more centrist than I remember since Heath. Truss was the puppet of the brain-dead right of the party who thought they'd try another coup. Blair’s 13 years were further right than the curr...

As a very interested outsider : Are the Tories moving further right as stupid a move as Labour moving to the left with Corbyn?

Reform's performance in these local elections was hardly great Fewer council seats than the George Galloway party Absolutely appalling.

Less likely than Labour merging with the workers party.
