An analogy regarding the elections

Jamesmac

So, I recently heard Reform UK is winning most of the seats in the current elections, and it has me worried. As a Transformers fan, I thought I'd rationalise it this way;

Ideally, we all want an Optimus Prime to lead our country, but unfortunately these days, that's not going to happen. Sometimes we're better off settling with Megatron, because it'd be worse if we had Starscream, which seems to be what's beginning to happen now! (Because we all know how that turned out!) (Edit: Ok, if you don't know how that turned out, he had this big coronation that got interrupted as he was killed off by Galvatron. And yes, this also works perfectly for the analogy.)

basically, what I'm trying to say is getting someone bad out and getting someone worse in is not the solution we need!

  • Reform is the Conservative party reformed. So its not a threat to anyone or anything. Restore Britain is actually nationalist, but its weak tea beyond demographics and mass deportations, doesn't actually care about anything else. What's needed is the full restoration for the High State as it was in 1905. Ending the democratic/progressive state. Greens did terribly which is good because people aren't falling for Blairism's final boss, but the gatekeeping operation known as Reform.
