Far Left Or Far Right Battle

[Gromit]

Galloway or Thice. 
Workers party or Reform party.  
Left or right.

Both intend to contest hundreds of seats. Worker met party have one MP and Reform have none.

What do you reckon will be the tally on 5th July ?

[ToraToraTora]

I doubt either will win a seat but they could affect a lot of seats by taking votes off the two main parties.

G. Galloway is an unlikely representative of the 'workers'.  Apart from a short stint as a boy in a tyre-factory, he's never done a day's work in his life, and most of those who vote for him are on benefits!

Gromit seems to have gone very quiet on his own thread.

Cat got your tongue eh!

[Gromit]

I am not wrong. We won't know if either party gets an MP until 5th July. If I am wrong then, I will admit it.

Supporters of Galloway and UKIP always go into General Elections with high expectations. And they always get zilch.

[tomus42]

I wouldn't consider Galloway or his party to be 'hard left'.

I can see him picking up another seat though, unlike Reform who I think will just split the Tory vote without winning anything.

The Brexit Party didn't win any seats, but they were instrumental in getting Brexit done.

Even if Reform UK, don't gain seats, the number of votes cast nationwide will be a clear indicator of the mood of the country.

Khandro

2015 (as UKiP) 3,881,099

2017 (as UKiP) 594,068

2019 (as Brexit) 644,257

2024 (as Reform) ?

I reckon they will pick up a lot of disgruntled Tories and get a million votes. But way off 2015s heyday.

George Galloway could quite easily be re-elected; he courts the anti-Jewish vote, and there's no shortage of antisemites around.  Wouldnt be suprised to see Corbyn re-elected as well.  

[Stableford]

Tice won't get any MP's but he could quite possibly be instrumental in getting Starmer elected as PM.
