Maybe a bit different to these polls considering its quite a bit more well known and I expect most people will know at least 3 of them but....hey ho.

#5 seems to be surprised to be there. :bowler:  :hmm:

I vote for the happy lesbian. She's probably green, isn't she?


*edit* just say the pin. Dammit.

Botox and fillers will do that to a man :lol:

I am annoyed that only Rishi coordinated his tie with his party color...er...colour.

I miss the crazy Austrian green girl. :(

How the fuck is that grifter Farage still a thing? What's his topic now?

"Vote for me and with a bit of luck a pseudo-fascist reactionary populist may be able to take over the Conservative party just like Reform* did in Canada and Trump did in the US."

EDIT: Beeb specific disclaimer: the Reform Party of Canada was not pseudo-fascist and was less reactionary than Farage or Trump are. They did, however, provide the template for a further-right populist party taking over and eating the established rightwing party in an Anglophone democracy.

Immigration. The Tories didn't use Brexit for its intended purpose to make Britain for Britons.

Or, indeed, the conversation that's happening in the EU thread and the French thread. Firewalls tumbling all over the place.

Although Farage is, for the first time I can remember, declining media opportunities right now. Largely because after several days of hounding Sunak on the D-Day thing (with some dog-whistles thrown in), it turns out there is a Reform candidate who basically argued that Lord Halifax was right and Britain should have just been neutral in the war. This was then followed up by the Reform spokesman:

QuoteA Reform UK spokesman initially said: "Through offence archaeology the BBC has found that Mr Gribbin has made a series of comments about a number of subjects.

"They were written with an eye to inconvenient perspectives and truths. That doesn't make them endorsements, just arguing points in long distance debates.

"His historical perspective of what the UK could have done in the 30s was shared by the vast majority of the British establishment including the BBC of its day, and is probably true.

"Again no endorsement, just pointing out conveniently forgotten truths.

I think they've regretted the "is probably true" bit. Although I do love an anti-establishment party apparently not applying that to the Cliveden set. Also these comments were made two years ago, so it's less "offence archaeology" than "offence dusting".

Where is the OMRLP candidate?  :mad:

Yeah, too well known for me to make even an attempt at judging solely by looks.

My pity vote goes to Sunak.

I know who all of these people are for once!  :lol:

Voted Lib-Dem, of course.
