I don't agree with that.

But he put it in a way that I was like,

I didn't feel myself getting cross about you stating that opinion just now.

The useful thing to check in yourself is how you feel when a politician is expressing something you disagree with, not how you feel when they express something you do.

He's really quite effective.

Now, with that, and with a little bit of canny policymaking,

It's not impossible that he can get them through.

Nigel Farage is the second most unpopular politician in the UK after Keir Starmer.

People are looking for a reason not to support reform.

What you see in by-election after by-election is progressive and centrist voters will pick whoever is best placed to defeat reform.

Often that includes the Conservative Party, which is kind of absurd because their policy positions are basically the same now, but whatever.

They will try.

The majority of voters will try to do it.

In some seats, it just won't be clear.

And the left wing or the progressive and the centrist vote will splinter, you know, 20 here, 20 there, and then reform will get in through the middle with 30.

But in lots of places, people are able to do that.

They're able to do it very candidly for Plaid Cymru, the Welsh Nationalist Party, which doesn't usually have a chance.

They're able to do it very candidly for the Greens.

They're able to do it very candidly right now with Labour against reform.

People are able to demonstrate that ability to make those judgments.
