There’s something wrong with a system which not only promotes people such as Beth Rigby (who has a speech impediment…yet is on TV and radio for a living), but pays them hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.
“The astonishing victory by the Right tonight in the first round of the French general election where Le Pen’s National Rally received 34.5% trouncing the Left alliance ( 29%) and destroying Macron ( 20%) augurs well for Nigel Farage and Reform. I suspect our voters will no longer believe a vote for Reform is wasted vote. They will view it as a chance to change the political narrative once and for all just as it’s doing in France. Anything could happen on Thursday.”
[Kelvin MacKenzie]
Must be the first time I have ever agreed with Kelvin MacKenzie.
That is my feeling, “unscientific” or not.
Huge numbers of people are getting desperate for social-national change. Reform UK is only halfway —if that— there, but it is a start, a start which can smash the “two main parties” scam, change the dynamics of UK politics (if it does well enough on Thursday), and move the “Overton Window”, or at least start to move it.
I suspect that many will say “**** it!” and put their crosses next to Reform UK on Thursday, as a last-minute decision. I may be wrong, but that is my feeling anyway.
Would Sunak raise a crowd that big? That is not even a question. 10, yes, 100, doubtful. 5,000? Ha ha…
What about Starmer? Maybe a few hundred (organized by the Labour machine)…maybe.
Whatever the voters want now, it is not the hopeless and ridiculous Conservative Party; not really Labour either, or the LibDems. They will profit only by default.
Who are the 10% or maybe 15% still voting Con? Must be lifelong unthinking habit-voters, mostly those in extreme old age, in my view.
Frankly, I doubt whether the Cons will even get to 20% in this General Election.

“Who are the 10% or maybe 15% still voting Con? Must be lifelong unthinking habit-voters, mostly those in extreme old age, in my view.”
In addition to the elderly habit voters who think it’s still the 1950s, there are a few other groups that still vote Tory:
-the (((zionists))) who own the Tory party
– Upper-class Thatcher-worshipping self-centered snobs educated at schools such as Eton and Harrow, who only care about low taxes and enriching themselves. They hate the White working class and view poor White people with contempt. They couldn’t care less if the country turns into Somalia, as long as the (((globalists))) let them keep their high-paying finance/law jobs in the City and corporate directorships and houses in Belgravia. In other words, people such as Jacob Rees-Mogg and Jeremy Hunt and Francis Maude and Rupert Soames.
-Ambitious, opportunistic, and greedy Thatcher-worshippers from the middle class and upper middle class, who want to join the upper class. I believe the British term for this is “on the make.” They are neoliberal, libertarian, open borders fanatics who support anything that benefits (((banks))) and (((Big Business))). They are hoping that they will be rewarded and become rich. Just like the Rees-Mogg and Hunt types mentioned above, this group only cares about advancing and enriching themselves. The difference is that the Rees-Mogg and Hunt types are already upper class, whereas this group are ambitious middle class hustlers who seek to rise to the upper class by betraying their country. Robert Jenrick, Johnny Mercer, Esther McVey, and Therese Coffey are examples of this group, as is the journalist Fraser Nelson who openly said that he doesn’t care if immigrants commit violent crimes because immigration benefits Big Business. The most important things to this group of voters are low taxes, showing off their leased Jaguar/Range Rover/Mercedes, and playing golf at their mid-tier private golf club, which they like to pretend is more upscale than it actually is. This group derives a feeling of superiority from not caring about issues (immigration, social services, etc) that working class people care about. They look down upon and despise the White working class.
-mindless people in areas not much affected by diversity, who don’t care about anyone except themselves. Since THEY PERSONALLY haven’t suffered the ill effects of diversity (yet), they don’t care about the rest of Britain. But I think this group is waking up and releasing that they are the next target, especially since the globalist Tories have been putting asylum seekers in small towns and villages throughout the land, to flood every corner of Britain with diversity.

According to MRP predictions and other online sources, the good burghers of Belgravia and Mayfair will soon have a Labour Party MP. The constituency that covers the central part of London including most tourist sites ie the seat of the Cities of London and Westminster will not have a Tory MP for the first time since 1950. King Charles III at Buckingham Palace will have a Labour MP representing him in the House of Treason.

I don’t object to Beth Rigby being a TV presenter if she has a speech impediment. Many people do as I did when I was very young as a child and had to have speech therapy which is a service which seems to be denied to too many now due to cuts. I went on to have French and German as my best subjects at school. Saying you don’t want people with speech impediments to present programmes is the sort of anti-disabled people speech that evil Tory moron, Iain Dunce Duncan-Smith, would either say in public or certainly think in private.
I DO think that she shouldn’t be paid that high a salary for doing a job that is relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

If someone has a speech impediment, that is unfortunate. If it can be fixed, that is good. What I object to is someone who has an impediment, has not fixed it, yet is in a job where clear diction is necessary (TV, radio, the Bar etc). I once knew a young woman barrister (and not very pleasant, to be frank) who not only had a bad speech impediment but also an almost impenetrable Northern Irish accent.

A strong Northern Irish accent is reason enough to ban or fire someone! (LOL) I remember watching a British film about 10 years ago and some of the characters, who were North Irishmen, spoke with such a thick and horrible accent that even my wife, who is English, could not understand them. I remember we gave up watching the film, which was fairly good, because of their accents.

Many many years ago, I was with my first wife at a cafe in Kennedy Airport in New York, and she asked me what language I thought a few people were speaking. I listened, was unsure (I thought maybe something like Icelandic at first), then realized that it was English, but not as we know it! I thought Northern Irish, or maybe from the very north of Scotland.

The Tories will certainly get 15% or more of the national vote. To my knowledge, there has only ever been one opinion poll in history that has placed them below that figure and that was a poll conducted by a polling firm associated with GB News during the depth of unpopularity of Liz Truss as PM. That poll indicated they were on 14%. It has never been repeated.
I think the bare minimum they will have is 15%-16% and probably a fraction more ie 17%-19%.

The remaining Tory voters are, as you say, the people who have voted Conservative for many decades and who are very elderly. Christopher Chope in the ‘God’s Waiting Room’ constituency of Christchurch will certainly be retaining his very safe seat due to large numbers of those type of people living there. The others are basically the very wealthy. Everyone else has departed the Titanic!

So, all that effort over the last twenty odd years to shed the title of being ‘Britain’s nasty party’ by systematically dumping overboard all traces of real social conservatism/NATIONAL-conservatism, deliberately picking ethnics instead of Britons for even safe Tory seats/council areas, making the government look as if it could be found in the dusty streets of Calcutta has been a complete waste of time as the ethnics STILL don’t wish to vote Tory.
They should have listened properly to Enoch Powell. Not only because he was a genuine British patriot but also because Powell knew the ethnics would never vote Tory in decent numbers.
They really aren’t known as ‘Britain’s Stupid Party’ for nothing. That would be ok if it only affected them but their idiocy also affects the country in a bad way.

Strange that more “ethnics” support Reform UK (7%) than the LibDems (6%). Is that because LibDemmery is such an English (in origo) world view?
LikeLike
Perhaps! It might be they think all Lib Dems are middle-class people and a bit snobby. That isn’t the case for all of them but the ethnics may dislike that particular image/type, in their eyes, of Britons. Also, I suspect a reason the ethnics don’t like the Liberal Democrats is because the Liberal Democrats best known principle/policy agenda for which they have been known for decades is their strong support of Proportional Representation/fair votes which if it were introduced would probably help Farage and/or a party like Germany’s nationalist/national-conservative Alternative For Germany (Afd) or France’s nationalist/national-conservative Rassemblement National (RN). The ethnics are afraid of such a prospect hence they oppose PR and avoid voting Lib Dem. The Labour Party is perceived by ethnics to be more ‘their party’ and will pander to their demands more than the Lib Dems are thought to be willing to do. Some ethnics mostly muslims but also some black groups aren’t all that pro-LGBTQAI and they think the Lib Dems are very much in favour of this group in society and have very pro-LGBTQAI policies which is correct. The muslims and other ethnics don’t like that.

It looks like doing all this frantic ‘modernisation’ of the Conservative Party has not only failed to gain sufficient ethnic votes but driven white voters away to abstention or voting for now Reform UK. An unmitigated failure in other words as was easy to predict for anyone with a political brain.

P.S Have you seen Marine Le Pen walk onto the stage at one of her party rallies? I have to admit she has great pins which look especially good in her little numbers by Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent or Givenchy! Now, that is what you call stylish ‘fascist chic’ or ‘quasi-fascist chic’! Ha, ha, only joking!
I once saw a programme which said nearly all French women even if they were quite poor (and, of course, Marine Le Pen isn’t) would save-up their wages for months or even a few years so that they could go out a buy a few fashionable and stylish dresses by famous French designer fashion houses like the ones I have listed above.

Kelvin MacKenzie may well be correct. In 2002, Marine Le Pen’s father, Jean-Marie, shocked France, Europe and quite a large part of the world by beating Lionel Jospin and getting through to the second round of their Presidential election for the first time. As could easily have been predicted, the French, European and British globalist liberal-left and the globalist media went completely mental over this unexpected result. A few weeks later, the BNP got its first councillors in Burnley. Did some people there switch from either their usual abstention, Labour or Tory voting and put an X by the names of the BNP candidates in a reaction to all the hullabaloo? They may have done!

People know that voting Reform is now not a wasted vote for 2 reasons:
1. Reform has a reasonable chance of getting enough seats (4+) to form a small bloc, and some chance of forming a larger bloc (10+);
2. A vote for Reform UK is a “damn you!” vote against the present Government, which will probably lose most of its MPs in consequence.

I wonder if some people intend to vote Reform UK in the privacy of the polling booth but will not say that is going to be where they place their cross to any pollster? There might well be a ‘shy Reform UK voter’ factor just as there is in France with the RN and Germany with the Afd party.
