Update: Apparently it's 4 5 candidates...

I wonder how much campaign literature they've had to junk now

I would like to see how they organise a knees up in a bruery.

Reform UK ran a competition to have their energy paid for by the party for a year.

Farage and Jenrick visited the winners at their house. But it turns out that Farage met them 7 years ago at a Breit Rally. Now it may be a co-incidence or.

Been looking at my postal vote this morning (don't know where I'll be on Thursday).

Usual 5 suspects on the constituency ballot, and 1 ambitious guy from The Scottish Common Party
15 parties and 2 independants on the regional list. Never heard of most of them
UKIP is still a thing

Well after all that electoral pandemonium it's time to get the mug out again

The problem with first past the post, it gives a strong government but it allow a minority radical party to run the country.

Unless the other parties get together and just put up one candidate to oppose them.

A new Reform Councillor elected in Sunderland on Thursday has been suspended after his social media posts reveal he previously called for Nigerians to be melted down and used to fill potholes.

But no it's not a party of racists at all

^ Ridiculous idea anyway. You'd need to filter out bones, teeth, fillings and god knows what else and even then they probably wouldn't set after you pour them into the hole.

I genuinely think this country is starting to become ungovernable and one of the reasons is something I can't mention in this thread

It's reported that Reform UK put up an AI candidate in Waveney Valley, and he got in by over 1,500 votes.

Voters have been looking for George Boyd and can't find any reference of him existing.
