Heh, not even close. That's Restore Britain. Reform is led by Nigel "If we alienate the Muslims, we lose" Farage. He's Jeb Bush with an English accent.

No there are not. There are 650 seats in the Commons and those are not up for election today.

Yea, the chart plainly stating “Local Elections” in OP was the big clue.

The same spiritual forces that are destroying Europe are at work in the US. We are just as divided, and our “leadership” is equally corrupt. The only thing standing between us and the fate of Europe is God (Jesus) and guns.

Correct, these are local council elections across the nation. It is definitely a harbinger.
I don't know much about UK procedures - could this help trigger a no-confidence vote in the government? And thus, start the path to getting rid of Starmer?

No. Not without unprecedented defections within Labour.
It could push Starmer to resign though and be replaced within Labour.

Correct. Reform is the RINO version of Restore Britain.

You're never going to get everything you want. It's not perfect, but it's the best we have. At least I feel like Trump is acting in what he thinks is the best interest of US citizens. I don't feel like there are many at all that do. They either want to enrich themselves, they're working someone else's agenda, or they're bought and paid for.

The UK needs to remove the Reform Party in order to defend democracy.

They are WAAAAAYYY less diluted than the USA.
The UK is over 80% white. The US is about 58%.

It could, and might, cause Labour to replace Starmer, but big deal. We’d just get another fruitcake. The next election has to come by August 2029. The PM could call it earlier if he thinks it will benefit. his party.

This is the dilution of. Having 12 million, 1/5th of, changing the longer term societal norms to a point where the country as a whole has become weaker across all sectors
The population of England was estimated to be nearly 58.6 million in 2024. As the most populated country in the UK, England's population has increased by over 12 million since 1971, with significant growth driven by international migration.
With an estimated 50 million illegal aliens and legal migrants in America at the same time is about 1/7th, difference is the non white population that was created prior too. As bad as we see it in America it’s still worse in Europe, and it’s their fault just like any problem here is because of our leaders

Reform dominating like this is a massive step in the right direction.

MAGA is not even close to the best we have. Its a Center Right* (at best) party in reality.
Its the best we are going to get, though.

You’ve chosen a subset of the UK and compared it to the entire USA. England is not a country; the UK is the country. Even using that method, England is over 70% white British, while the US is about 58% white.
The reasons the UK is in worse shape than the US, regarding population, is that they are a lot further away from stopping the illegal immigration, and because their illegal immigrants are far worse than ours. The US was being overrun by Christians; the UK by Muslims.

I don't want either, but I will take the mexicans any day over what they have been besieged with
Posted on 5/8/26 at 8:47 am to Penrod
Hence the dilution part. The “ far worse part” of the new population and their values is the problem and as you point out less so here. Yes I used that subset because that’s where UK power is as well as their undoing. Of course if I used just a couple of our states such as California, Minnesota or NY it could be argued we are equally screwed.

Already too late. They have already imported Islam in massive numbers and allowed it to entrench. It's over for western Europe, no matter how hard they fight or for how long.
Coming soon to an America near you.

Totally agree. Restore will be running on all cylinders by 2029. Just sucks that Farage is such a squish.
