[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (3 children) My congratulations go to the reform party and Nigel Farage, probable prime minister like 10 years from now. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago* No he won't. They've got four seats, one of which doesn't really count because his support is just a holdover from him being a conservative, that's not exactly the makings of a political dynasty. Also can Nigel Farage even be arsed? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) The chance of this happening is remarkably close to zero. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) I remember thinking the same about Johnson once. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Johnson was in one of the main two parties and a popular figure (for some reason).

You've forgotten haven't you? permalink fedilink source parent [–] frazorth@feddit.uk 1 point 2 years ago I think the main difference is that Johnson has always had aspirations of being bigger and greater. He will destroy anything if it means the chance to grab more power. Farage is more like Sinn Fein, just a complete blocker to any progress for anyone else. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gedhrel@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Maybe half that time. permalink fedilink source parent
