Great analysis as always. The polls said we'd lose the Brexit vote too Jamie, I think we'll surprise them again once Labour actually DO something rather than kick it down the road. The budget will be interesting, let's see what the bond markets and polls say after that !
I was a Reform member but I've let it lapse. I would still like to vote for reform but I have my doubts. At this time Reform should be looking like a government in waiting but they don't, yet. It's not their fault. I think it's a question of scale. If they were to get into government they would have to hit the ground running. That means they need a big improvement in policy detail and planning in all areas and that means more man power and depth in expertise and knowhow. Reform has 8 MPs. If they were to win the next general direction that would have to go up to say 300MPs and from that the ministers and cabinet would be chosen. But the majority of them would be first timers. I would hope that most of them would be capable but they would have little or no experience of government.
I was surprised that so many people would still vote green but I see that there is a sizeable Muslim population in the constituency.
