Fishi Rishy History after May 2nd ?

But who's going to be willing to take over in the face of almost certain defeat?

(Well, I say defeat but the Tories aren't losing so much as self-destructing).

The Tories are in for a well deserved kicking no doubt about it, but Starmer has plenty to worry about. Labour fanatics who are hoping for a 1997 style election landslide will I think be disappointed. Yes Labour will probably win the election, but the big winners may well be Reform UK. 

They seem to think that the Overton Window is narrower than it is.

Indeed

If Sunak were to lose such a vote the only course i can see open is an immediate trip to the palace and the mother and father of all negative campaigns, leading to a total wipeout and Sunak fucking off to the States because lets be honest i’d be inclined to join the party to vote against the shitebag.

The alternative ? Well i suppose if Sunak chooses not to go to the King for a dissolution then someone who fancies ending their career with the grateful thanks of the party might possibly stick their name in the hat for nine months tops and a peerage at the end of it.

Reform are unlikely to win many MP's which will come as little comfort to the Tories or Labour. Yes people will vote Reform as a protest vote, as people voted UKIP as a protest vote, and after 20 years UKIP got to 12% of the vote and achieved their aim. After 5 years Reform UK are polling 15% and believe me, behind the scenes both the Tories and Labour, and probably the EU, will be worried about the rapid rise of Reform UK and that support is fuelled by Tory and Labour support of mass immigration and they're not going to change, so all Reform UK need do is sit back and gather support as people become increasingly angry with the mass immigration appeasing pro EU Tory and Labour parties. 

The main concern I have is that nothing will change

I look back to 2009, and I recall a European Parliamentary election so badly engaged with by the public that on the Thursday night the polling stations closed at ten, the ballot papers were all at Newbridge counting centre by quarter past, opened and 'face down counted' in the peculiar EU ritual that left unsealed ballot boxes in the labour returning officer's hands in an unknown location until Sunday when storage containers with the unsealed votes were brought back and counted, a process that took so little time that I was back in Cwmbran by 10:55 in time for a pint before last orders.

(I'll leave you to wonder at the integrity of the vote with unsealed ballot papers in the control of the labour council leader for two days at a secret location ......)

However in the North East and North West even that ritual removal of integrity failed to stop two BNP candidates becoming Members of the European Parliament

The impact that had on Labour was quite interesting

Brown, whose opinion of the English was of course revealed in his famous open mike gaffe Was reduced to stealing the BNP's "British jobs for British workers" slogan (although knowing full well he was lying his arse off as continued EU membership meant any one of 472 million people had the absolute right to rock up at Dover, demand a NINO and take a British job, and no British Government had ever used it's right to throw them back if still unemployed 13 weeks later) but the more interesting impact was upon Phil Woolas the then immigration minister who started openly stating it was time to make illegals register for asylum in the first point of entry and process their claim there, offering residence across the whole EU to those successful and a swift return to those not.

These two changes of policy show that one does not need a majority to cause change, merely the ability to overthrow the status quo or sometimes not even that, given that Farage got a referendum on EU membership without a single MP.

I fear that even the election of a Reform MP will not change either Labour or Tory policy (such as either have)

Look at the stupid bitch the stupid Tories want to replace Rishi with. It's the "I'm going to fight" fuckwit with the sword. Rishi is probably more sensible than he comes across due to the fact he has to represent the whole asylum (party), not say what he thinks.
