Kiev-regime Ukraine is not a civilized state. Indeed, it is not really a state at all. Were it not propped up by EU, US, UK aid, it would collapse. It will eventually collapse. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

What makes politicians and parties “credible” and “serious”?

In fact, at time of writing, that petition has over 600,000 signatures, and is obviously going to end up in the millions. I doubt that its existence, even if 6,000,000 sign, will change anything, though. Keir Starmer and his Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment will hang on, in order to retain power, to retain status, and to quite deliberately further ruin this country.

Interesting how people perceive political parties and their MPs, though.

For example, Rachel Reeves was touted as a real heavyweight, a serious economist etc. Now, it turns out that she was not working as an economist prior to becoming an MP, but was, as the detractors say, more or less “Rachel from Accounts“, a kind of office bod, and a retail banking mortgage adviser who sold retail products to members of the public and engaged in customer relations.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14116675/Rachel-Reevecustomer-relations-Halifax-CV.html.

The CVs of many MPs, not only Labour ones, are faked to the point of utter dishonesty; that of Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, for one. Even the bastard’s surname is a fake (it is not “Duncan Smith” but simply “Smith”).

As to the parties themselves, the public are fooled into thinking that the Labour Party and Conservative parties are somehow “serious” or “credible” because they have been around for a long time and have, respectively, 402 and 121 MPs. Even the LibDems, who have 72.

Reform UK is not regarded, even now, as credible or serious, partly because it is fairly new, because it is a vehicle owned (literally) by Nigel Farage, and because it has only 5 MPs

The reality is that the make-up of the present Parliament is by reason of a voting system that is more than simply flawed; it simply bears no relationship to the real and expressed opinions and preferences of the electorate.

The present “elected” Labour Party quasi-dictatorship of Jewish-lobby/Israel lobby puppet Starmer was voted for by 4 out of 20 eligible voters (4 out of 12 actual voters), and has 402 MPs. 3 out of 20 (3 out of 12) voted Conservative Party, which has 121 MPs. 2 out of 20 (2 out of 12) voted LibDem; 72 MPs.

Then we have Reform UK, also voted for by 2 out of 20 (2 out of 12) voters. Indeed, Reform UK gathered in half a million more votes than did the LibDems. Only 5 MPs! Unfair, and actually illogical. In fact, the proportion of votes going to the LibDems was 12.22%, to Reform UK 14.29%.

More significantly, Labour’s total vote was, roughly, 9.7M, the Conservatives’ was 6.8M, Reform UK got 4M, and the LibDems 3.5M. Reform UK was not so far behind the Conservative Party, and within sight of the Labour Party, which got nearly 2.5x the Reform UK vote.

I do not think it impossible that a head of steam (of discontent) will build from now until 2029, and that Labour will then suffer a crushing electoral defeat. The “Conservatives”, presumably under their new Nigerian woman leader, are unlikely, in my opinion, to get far beyond where they now are. The LibDems are just a “dustbin” party for the votes of those not wishing to vote Lab or Con. The remaining straw at which the voters might clutch is Reform. I could see Reform winning 50-100 seats next time, maybe more, in those seats where 3 or 4 parties will be in serious contention, each of the contending parties getting 20%-30%.

In those circumstances, yes, Reform might emerge as either the third or the second party in the Commons. First place? Unlikely, but never say never.

Caveat: Reform is morphing slowly into a new System party, as witness Farage’s recent statements, both pro-Israel and not particularly anti-Islam; also, with numerous non-white candidates. Only real social nationalism can save this country, but there is no party of that kind, unfortunately.

Incidentally, that “Call a General Election Now” petition has, in the time it took me to write the above lines, gone well above 700,000, and is running at about 2,000 signatures per minute. Admittedly, 700,000 people is only about 1% of the whole UK population, and about 2% of the GE 2024 turnout. On the other hand, if the petition numbers reach 7M, or 14M, are Labour partisans still going to be saying that it is meaningless? In terms of public relations, that does not wash.

“Seriousness” and “credibility” of political parties rests on a number of connected factors: ideology, professed policies, leader, other prominent members and/or MPs, history (if any), funding and publicity, msm comment, Press comment, online comment, number of people voting for the party.

“Call a General Election Now” (II)

I notice that the petition now has 1.2M signatures, and still increasing by about 2,000 per minute as I write. If, as expected, the signatories are ignored by the Government (save for a perfunctory brief and no-vote debate in the Commons), then Labour’s slide will certainly continue.

Once again, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, the hard-core Israel and Jewish-lobby supporter and mouthpiece.

New World Order (NWO), Israel, Zionism and “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) under the Jew Zelensky are all closely connected.

<4 hours later, as I write, and the petition is now at about 1.3M. It may reach 2M, it may reach 3M, or 20M. I cannot say.

Does Lebanon have no air force to counter the Israeli attacks?

  1. In the latest poll, the Labour Party is at 29% support which is down from the paltry 33.7% at the inherently rigged, fake general election. It is possible that Labour won’t lose any more significant support since at 29% they must be very near or at at their rock solid ‘core’ support level.

    The globalist, open borders supporting African immigrant Kemi with a demented focus on the 0.5% of the population that is trans only attracts the votes of very selfish and self-serving wealthy people and old people with senile dementia. Everyone else would either cut their own throats, vote Labour, Lib Dem, Green, Reform UK or stay at home than vote for the increasingly just plain bloody weird, fake Conservative Party which has lost its way entirely now, a travesty of what is was even under Mrs Thatcher let alone previous PMs like Neville Chamberlain or Stanley Baldwin. The Tory Party should now really be put into the same category as the Monster Raving Loony Party so detached from reality as it is.

      I am no longer sure that Labour *has* ” a core of support. The old unionized masses and worker-communities no longer exist, or have been transformed into “precariat” social-security/low pay zones, and drug/drink blighted areas, which will not vote for a Labour Party that continues to import millions of immigrants, cuts down on social security, and criminalizes free speech.

      I tend to agree with you that the Con Party under the Nigerian woman will not get anywhere, but neither will Labour go anywhere but down. It may be that Reform UK will surge up to levels where it will be a real contender— 20% and even 25% or more. In a circumstance where Labour and Cons may descend to 25% or even lower, and LibDems go up to 15%, that will put almost all Commons seats into the hazard.

      I also foresee *either* an increase in non-voting *or* a grasping at straws by voters— Reform UK, Green Party, and also LibDems (in the more affluent constituencies). Maybe both of those.

      If only a real social-national party existed. It might really go places.

Tony Bliar knew the Labour Party was losing the support of the ‘workers’ and the ‘ordinary plebs’ so instead of trying harder to gain their votes with new, inspirational policies ect he threw open the borders to mass immigration thus gaining new core voters along with their other existing base of middle-class PC loons. It is called replacing a people AND an electorate you can not rely upon any longer and illustrates graphically just how EVIL the modern ‘left’ truely is.

      2. Hello Ian! The problem is that should a real social-national party existed it would be banned or even not allowed to be registered as such. Our enemies learnt their lesson in January 1933 when a political party lead by “a nobody” who had served as corporal in the royal Bavarian army became Reichskanzler.

        You are of course correct, but it could (just about) happen that a party came so swiftly to such prominence that it could not be stopped; if blocked, it might just use its notional millions of supporters to seize power directly. Well, it’s all speculative, admittedly.

  2. You could call such a party a nifty little title like the National Socialist British Workers’ Party or NSBWP for short. Well, even Churchill said that if Britain was ever in such a state as Weimar Germany was before 1933 he would wish for a British Hitler or Mussolini type figure to emerge. We are certainly approaching Weimar levels of degeneracy and crime etc.

  3. This party in Germany is effectively National Socialist:

    https://der-dritte-weg.info (The Third Way/Path)

    Large numbers of people in Germany and Europe are afraid of the Alternative For Germany party (Afd) but very little is said about the The Third Way/Path party. To be frank, I am surprised the German government has not banned them yet. Some parliamentarians in the German Bundestag are ready to pass a motion in there soon to bring a case for banning the Afd to the Constitutional Court in Karslruhe.

      1. They may bring a case but it is far from certain the Constitutional Court would agree with a ban. The threashold for banning a party is a very high one and rightly so. The court’s judges would need proof the party did not just have unconstitutional aims and policies but was also actively seeking to overturn Germany’s ‘free democratic basic order’ and that the party had a good chance of actually accomplishing this.

        So far, only two parties have been banned since WW2 which were the Communist Party and a Neo-Nazi party in the 1950’s.

    1. Germany’s constitution is an anti-German, anti-White dictate that was imposed by the victorious (((Allies))) after World War 2.

      Patriotic Germans should not feel any obligation to obey the illegitimate (((basic law))) which was imposed on Germany by (((enemies))).

      Indeed, all patriotic Germans should disobey the (((basic law))).

      From a Pro-White perspective, a “free democratic order” is not desirable.

      What IS desirable is a Pro-White dictatorship, which will have the necessary power to crush the enemies and undo decades worth of damage.

  4. It would only be worth having a new general election under an actually fair and democratic voting system that ACCURATELY translates votes into seats ie a system of Proportional Representation:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_Representation

    https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk

    I agree with the sentiment behind the petition which is that the present single party administration has no real democratic mandate to govern.

    Labour should be running a coalition led by them not a single party government when 66% of voters didn’t vote for them.

      1. Indeed. A Labour majority government with a landslide ‘victory’ effectively gifted to them NOT by masses of people voting for them but by a crooked, grotesquely undemocratic and inefficient electoral system. That would be bad and an irrational joke at the best of times but this horrible lot claim they have a genuine mandate to potentially have millions of burnt and fried to a crisp British people dying in a Russian nuclear attack on the back of such a ‘victory’ at the polls.

  5. Frankly though I certainly sympathise with the feeling behind the petition it is all a bit irrelevant since it seems this Continent and perhaps the globe will soon be embroiled in World War 3. The latest news is that Macron has approved the use of French long range missiles for Ukraine.

      2. What Vlad The Impaler needs to do is ‘box clever’ ie not allow a probable growing exasperation with the thick, anti-Russian and anti-British morons of the present ‘British’ government to cloud his judgement like the idiot Hitler did when he invaded the non-UK but still (Royal Family owned?) British Channel Islands for worthless propaganda purposes but, instead, doing what Hitler didn’t do but should have done ie [REDACTED] the British PM and company by using the Russian secret services.

        We have no effective border controls and have not had for decades so getting an illegal Russian immigrant to do that or an existing Russian resident of the UK should be quite easy to do.

        No need for exploding German chocolate bars as was Nazi Germany’s plan for Churchill just a Russian nerve agent as supposedly happened in Salisbury.

  8. Labour must be not too far away from its core level of support. Both Labour and fake Conservative alike can now only rely upon support being in the 20% plus range. So far at least Labour has not gone below 27% support in a general election which they had in 1983. I personally think Labour’s core support is higher than the useless Conservatives have for reasons you do not have to be Albert Einstein to work out.

    I do not think we will see a situation where the Labour Party AND fake Conservative Party AT THE SAME TIME have below 20% support levels.

    1. John:
      Maybe not below 20%, but 20%-25% is possible for both main System parties. That leaves 50% or more for others.

      At present, the only upstart party with any chance is Reform UK. They must have a big chance. The local elections in May will be a kind of opinion poll as to that, *if* Reform can stand enough candidates.

      2. They need to take local elections seriously. The Lib Dems have been doing that since the 1960’s and it paid off in July when despite the fact they polled less votes overall than Reform UK by only having a poor 12% national vote share their local strength in councillors provided them with enough ‘hotspots of Lib Dem support’ to elect 72 MPs as the fake Conservative Party’s vote totals in those seats collapsed.

        Ironically, for the party that has suffered the most under the archaic crap of stand alone First Past The Post and as the main party supporting fair votes/Proportional Representation the share of seats the party now has in the House of Treason is more or less inline with its national percentage vote share.

In what was probably the most stunning result of the ‘election’ the Lib Dems even managed to kick-out the fake Conservative Party MP for Horsham in Sussex – a seat that had been held by the Tories since as long ago as the 1880’s. It is a shame a similar result did not happen in Sevenoaks whose Tory MP is that ghastly, poor people hating, stuck-up tart/bitch, Laura Trott. That would have been a fantastic result especially as that vile traitor voted for trans people obsessed, essentially alien, Nigerian immigrant, Kemi, to be leader.

  11. I was reading about the weird case of Farage registering Reform as “a private limited company” (obviously for his own benefit. Then, in September this year he announced his “generous” decision of “giving ownership of the party and the big decisions over to the members”.

    In the same article a fellow with the very British name of Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf is described as “the chairman of Reform”. By 2014 this crook (because he cannot be anything else) was already a millionaire and in 2023 decided to bankroll Reform, in other words he is the puppet-master who controls Farage. He describes himself as “a patriotic British Muslim” , a real oxymoron if I ever saw one!
