Will Farage lead a new party after election...

I can see a massive defeat for the Tories leading to a split in the Party - the Thatcherite wing could easily combine with Reform and have Farage as leader. The One Nation remnants would either wither into nothing or join Labour or the LibDems who they are more in tune with anyway.

I don't. You see the problem is the fuckwits in the Conservative Party are the same fuckwits in the civil service and the Times, Telegraph etc, and they fucked the country up big style. In politics my take on it is of you have  a highly corrupt party, the last thing you want to be seen with is bits of it mingling in with your own. You want a totally independent firm with all new people in it, and they should be selected by those who have got their wits about them. I think Tice knows a competent person as he is a businessman and relies on his judgment. Farage though, I think he should stick to being frontman. Presentation of policies is Farage's forte. The thinking, planning, research, the vetting of candidates and all of that stuff should be done by those who are as skilful as Farage, but whose expertise is in the thing they deal with. For example in planning tax policy you get  tax expert and so on. The only Tories you could possibly make an exception for are those who get thrown out for opposing the Tories in some way, as in say they are anti-woke, but even that is a bit off-putting to many. Especially Labour, they think a Tories is like the stuff from hell. Right now with Farage leading they are still climbing fast in the polls. So I think they have the right formula right now. If they can poll above the Tories then things will get very interesting and they will get a lot of publicity, which in turn can push the vote even higher, and perhaps hit polling day as this excitement peaks and get some MPs.

It's not rubbish. Farage is both pulling prospective Tory voters and Labour voters. I've been following the polls and it is clearly showing this pattern. See the last few days Reform has shot up and Labour and the Cons have dipped in equal proportion. Reform are running in second place all over the North and the East and West Midlands. These were once traditional Labour seats, and Reform do worst in London as you would expect. It's London that is weighting the party down in the national sense. You read the comments on leftwing forums and they absolutely hate the Tories. They also think Starmer is a Tory as well, but some of these people actually go with Farage. They would not like Farage as much if he were sucking up to Tory shits. Also I feel like when you have a team of people you get the one bad apple, then that can sour the whole thing. They can not go on stage and say the Tories are failures and go recruiting them at the same time. People would say fuck you, you are just as hypocritical as all the rest. There are also those who normally never vote who Farage might encourage to vote. I see a few like this as well. This sector is pretty large.

Well, without doubt the Farage is the most influential politician in UK politics by a country mile, will he turn that into votes, that is a different matter. He certainly isn't offering to revolutionise UK politics, which I am not sure is in his favour, he is trying to turn the clock back, I am not so sure that is an overall vote winner.

Personally, I think he is spouting Thatcherite policies because he knows that will draw the old school votes from the Conservatives which is working like a charm, I am not sure it will change anything come election time. Boris was on a bandwagon he never expected to actually pan out, but ran with it, because it appealed to a much wider audience than plain old Westminster politics. 

I wonder how the cons got to be like this, it shows how being left is always a recipoe for disaster. The lesson to be learnt is that at heart britain is conservative.

Britain is conservative. Its conservative with a bit of leftism which is healthy, its getting the balance right. Who knows what will happen on election night, to me it seems crazy to vote Labour, its voting for more of the same but worse. Maybe, Reform will come second, maybe even win it.
