    Ah I see, so you’ve divided the world into your enemies and your allies and you think that people who you previously saw as your enemy will still be your enemy. The thing to remember is they don’t know you exist, nor do they care about what you’re thinking.

    In the last election they might have voted for the conservatives because they wanted the conservatives to be in charge. A vote for the conservatives is also a vote against Farage, so perhaps their primary motivation is they don’t want Reform and will vote for whatever least worst option is presented in order to not get Reform. In the last election that was a Conservative candidate, in this election that’s not an option, so it’s binface or Farage, and if they’re voting against him then literally anything will be better.

    You’ve also completely disregarded my point that his antics over the last 2 years may very well have pissed quite a lot of his original voters off.

      Let me remind you of the words you are trying to defend:

      That same showing this time would lose him the vote

      What “same showing” are you talking about? I think by this point it’s clear you meant something other than what you said. Since my issue was with what you said, not whatever you meant to say, it’s better we leave it here.
