It’s why they are desperate to try and prevent any postponements and force an early general election…their support will be gone entirely come 2030…
At the same time I’m sensing Farage has done something to piss off the higher ups in the media as coverage has become less favourable. I’ve also noticed the rhetoric on social media and online spaces from accounts which may or may not be real has suddenly switched from vocalising concerns around immigration to concerns around paying tax/leaving UK
It would be interesting to see how this would convert into seats. I’d hazard a guess that Green and Reform are more thinly spread than Labour, Conservatives and Libdem, who have strongholds, giving them a FPTP advantage.
It certainly looks like it would be a hung parliament with the Reform-Tory coalition the most likely.
Yeah Reforms racism is starting to grate on people now. Farage has gone to ground, their “raise the flags” campaign has flopped, their councils are a chaotic mess, they are packing the party with known incompetent Tories and the public is finally waking up to the Brexit disaster.
Give them another year or two and they will be irrelevant.
This headline makes it appear that Greens are within 3 points of Reform.
It’s only three paragraphs into “Toms” article that you actually see that it’s the Tories who have bounced and are now catching Reform.

Populism to the left of me, populism to the right! Here I am stuck in the middle with you..
Get Rupert Lowe back in. Man is consistent and looks like he can actually govern after the campaign

Green bastards need to sort out their Nuclear and immigration policies
ASAP
The poll the article is referencing for those that only read the headline (https://x.com/JAHeale/status/2002764784543191469)
>A poll by Lord Ashcroft in today’s Mail on Sunday has the Tories just three points behind Reform UK
>REF – 25 per cent
>CON – 22 per cent
>GRN – 19 per cent
>LAB – 18 per cent
>LDs – 10 per cent
>Polling of 5,195 voters between 11 and 15 December
The polls are basically useless this far out. I doubt people even really know their voting intention.
Nice to see Farage falling though.
There will be something massively poetic if a wannabe Nazi is beaten by a Jewish man half his age.
I feel like greens is a good choice for a lot of people, but I just can’t get past their anti-tridant / anti-armed forces stance.
We’re at a turning point of peace right now and I really don’t want the UK to be caught with it’s pants down. Greens would need to turn around their stances on these points to get my vote.
Everyone getting excited about a supposed Green surge, when you just know most Green supporters will return to tactically vote Labour in 2029 once PM Farage becomes an actual, real possibility
Who the fuck is voting for the Greens?
I despair.
I can kind of sympathise with people voting Reform and line it up in my head.
The Greens are complete crack pots.
Fucking hell, I need to look into emigrating.
I don’t want to live under a populist government and yet another inevitable financial crisis.
I legitimately might consider leaving the country if the greens get in.
People keep saying that tactical voting may keep Reform out, but it’s looking more likely that the Tories and Reform will use tactical voting to get a coalition together. The Greens don’t seem interested in helping Labour
A paid for poll by the desperate Daily Mail and conducted by an openly Tory pollster. Not worth the paper it’s printed on. And that’s not even open to debate just look at the stuffing the Tories are getting each week in the by elections- as bad as ever for them just last week. About as credible as the Green poll the other week that had them in the lead.
As much as i agree with green policies, i am currently employed as a researcher within the nuclear industry. The green party is anti nuclear and my project could be at risk …
The rise of the green party is so inorganic that they’re proposing to regulate it if they win.
Yeah great europe is at war and everyone votingbin a party that will dismantle the UK ability to fight. I cannot understand the complete stupidity of british voters and politics..in a world where we need to be strong we get these parties that want to cut up the nation sell off our infrastructure and world beating services… and we want to sell it all to the most grotesque nation in a human history …USA
Bewer of bots acting calm and knowledgeable..they want to push you to vote in Reform that are corrupt amd wish to damage UK interests ..youve been warned..we can not afford a Brexit 2 like outcome
Neither Green nor Reform is a serious party, but it’s good that we have loons on both sides of the spectrum, it means the Overton window isn’t being dragged off in only one direction.
I don’t really believe that ‘support for Reform’ in an opinion poll really reflects support for them at a GE, either, but maybe that’s just naive optimism. It’s a protest vote and supporting a protest party at a local election, or in a phone survey, is quite a different matter to trusting them to run the country. (And yes that applies to the Greens too.)
Why do we only have really shit options?
The Tories were a clown fiesta
Labour are bringing in all kinds of fucked up authoritarian laws
The Greens are mostly people shouting about Palestine, giving up our nukes and hoping we’re safe, while not understanding our basic financial situation
Reform are racist grifters with no experience of running party machinery outside of running a retirement home for some of the most useless Tories who are now shitting themselves
I doubt the Green surge will survive contact with reality. Just another populist party who the left the left treat as their current messiah until reality bites and they start looking for a new one.
I saw Reform had a by election and won by 23 against the Tories. The by election occurred due to the former Reform councillor, one of forty, had resigned. Previously Reform wan by 300 or so votes.
I just hope people on FB are not too blind see how incompetent and corrupt they really are
How anyone can defend first past the post after looking at polls like this is mind boggling. Do any of the pollsters put out projected seat counts, do we even have a large enough sampling to attempt to estimate this?
Not sure why people think the guy that thinks he can enlarge tits with his mind is a better candidate to lead the country.
No matter how bad people think the Greens would be, they could never come close to the outright hate-filled, rich agenda, MAGA-driven Numpty Nigel Party. Thank God, some people will be looking at a more worker-driven attitude than entitled land owner dictating to the peasants.
Great, great.
Dodgy populist right-wingers losing out to dodgy populist left-wingers.
I’d be up for a revolution against both.
