    In this video, we’re going to look into the possibility of Nigel Farage returning to Reform UK and whether this could, in turn, damage the Tories even more at the next election.

      That's only because the New Labour party are so awful that they couldn't win an election in all that time even with an awful Tory gov. It's only now that the Tories are so far gone that Labour gets in by default, not because they are going to improve anything. This is the end of the UK as we know it, a decade of New Labour with Bliar pulling the strings is the end.

      People are absolutely mental if the vote for labour or conservative again. David Kurten Heritage Party We are now in our fourth year since we launched as a party in autumn 2020. This is a vital year for us as there is likely to be a General Election at the end of 2024. We will also be contending local elections in England and the London Assembly election next May.
      In the UK, the old political parties continue to work in lockstep together to allow perverse materials into classrooms for Relationships and Sexuality Education, permit open borders with unprecedented levels of both illegal and legal immigration, and make war on motorists with increasingly onerous restrictions on travel for ordinary citizens such as LTNs, 15-minute cities and the ULEZ.
      The Heritage Party is the only UK-wide party that will end the climate emergency hoax and lift all restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage.
      We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country. I Edward say that if anyone votes Lib/Lab/ Con or any other left wing parties they need their head examined. Heritage could, with your help make Britain great again.

      Here's what will happen. The Tories will take a pounding at the election, Labour will win a majority and Reform may perform well cutting into the Tory vote however they won't gain many seats due to the FPTP system, the same thing that happened to Ukip in 2015. The Tories will become the opposition but will be heavily weakened and there will be talk of the party dying or splitting. That won't happen, however.
      Then after a decade of Labour's rule, the Tories will eventually rebound in voter opinion because voters will grow tired of Labour eventually. The same thing that happens with every two party system.

    • @bluebull399
      @bluebull399 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@JD-Media I don't think this could happen. Think about the economic situation of the UK 10 years down the line. The UK would have added at least another 5 million to its population through immigration. Immigration was pretty much the single point issue the Tories were supposed to have fixed but didn't.
      Housing and infrastructure will be far worse off. We will most likely be facing a far right party at that point. Reform are right but not quite far right (yet). However, we don't know what events will take place in the UK.
      There could be sectarian violence between communities, a new round of terrorist attacks plus scandals within the ranks of Labour. Labours upcoming term will be last term served by the Duopoly. The Tories will not bounce back from this.

We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage.
    We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country. I Edward say that if anyone votes Lib/Lab/ Con or any other left wing parties they need their head examined. Heritage could, with your help make Britain great again.

    In my opinion, it all depends on whether Reform has their campaign geography right. They absolutely could poach seats from the Tories if they target the right seats. But, if their vote share is spread across the country they may end up as spoilers with their project just like their UKIP predecessors did in 2015: 13% of the public vote and only 1 MP.

    UKIP took more votes from Labour than from the Tories in 2015. It's a common myth that they only split the Tory vote - not actually true at all. Presumably the same will be true of Reform.
    Edit: I see this was touched on later in the video. I still think in a general election without the backdrop of Brexit influencing people's votes, Reform has the potential to take votes from Labour just as UKIP used to do. The parties have a similar target electorate after all. And this is something they will need to do if they are going to win any seats.

    The problem for the Tories is that there's a big divide between the traditional middle class pragmatic, more affluent than average, Tory voter and the white reactionary working class voter. These two sides increasingly cannot work together. However, Labour will potentially struggle with this divide too once in power when you have Lab MPs coming from whiter, more provincial towns and villages versus Labour MPs in diverse and younger cities. People can blame individual parties all they want but the truth is we are just a pretty divided country today on issues like diversity and immigration. No matter who is in power these divisions will shake politics. I'm old enough to remember how much trouble was caused in Labour over these issues post 2005.
