It won't work - there never were enough votes on the hard right to elect a #kipper govt

Germany thought the same. The #FarRight AfD are now polling second & they're shitting themselves.

Italy voted in Meloni, Slovakia & Poland have lurched to the far right, to match Hungary.

We CANNOT stand idly by thinking this can't possibly happen to the #UK. 

We said the same about #Brexit in 2016, yet here we are. 🤷🏾‍♂️

You mean with #labour well ahead in the polls? 

I am not sure what you think we can do about it? I have no plan to get involved in the #toriesOut party ......and the blight on electoral propects for #labour that was the previous hopeless leader & policy agenda has been lifted.....

#Remain were well ahead in the #Brexit polls.

Sunak has until late January 2025 to hold an election. If a week's a long time in politics, a helluva lot can happen in 15 months... 🤷🏾‍♂️

#FarRight complacency will be our biggest enemy. Farage tapped into this in 2016 & delivered #Brexit. 

The polls never picked any of this up, but a post Brexit poll analysis revealed that many who took part in the surveys lied about their Brexit voting intentions through embarrassment.
