'The times, they are a changing', Dylan said several decades too soon. The fact that this poll shows more people voting for a new party than any of those in the mainstream, which are carbon copies of each other, lends support to a view, shared by many, that the mainstream is about to be swept away. Reform is aptly named to contribute towards this change which is much needed. I hope they do well.

Spot on. I partied in 97 and voted tory by 2009 :oops:

Nothing changes, a bit around the edges, but nothing changes.

Election day exit polls show a huge unexpected swing to Reform Party and many pollsters are predicting Reform are going to get the 326 required seats to form the next government. Farage as PM.

Polls close in less than an hour with the exit poll to be released immediately afterwards.

I wonder what Reforms overall vote share is going to be, some say 17%. Millions, can we ever get voting reform in Britain. PR would see Reform having a much bigger say but why would any winning party change the voting system.

Hopefully that'll lead to regular media coverage for reform and their talking points. Hopefully they'll grow exponentially from here.

Good night for Reform. I thought maximum 10 for them, so they’ll have a stronger voice in this Parliament.

Not surprised by the SNP with all the criminal cases against them. Labour will have picked up a lot of seats up there because of that.

The Welsh Labour is changing our voting system and they have won for past 25yrs! But only changing it so that they'll never ever get beaten :o

The ONLY good thing about Labour being in power, they may legalise cannabis. That's just me speculating though, not heard anything from their manifesto

Make no mistake, this was an anti Tory vote as opposed to an endorsement of Labour . You add the Reform vote ( who were nearly second biggest share of vote in Wales ) across the UK back to the Tory one and they probably have more votes , it’s at least a hung parliament.

God help us.

The great British public have done it again. It's like turkeys voting for Christmas.

Has nobody seen what Labour has been doing in Wales when given free reign?

We can look forward now to higher taxes, tax on petrol, tax on your pension, inheritance tax when you die, 20mph speed limit everywhere, road charging by the mile, more cycle lanes, thirty different bins for your household waste, immigrants welcomed with open arms, everything woke and the next time somebody catches a cold the country will be in lockdown for years.

And the country has just given them carte blanche to vrack on with all of it.

On the flip side, have you not seen what the conservatives have done to the entire UK in the last 14 years?

Major downturn in economy, more job seekers than ever (at least in the tech field) and thousands of food banks now required due to them.

Taxes on fuel, gas, electricity etc will all rocket and Gething will say it’s necessary to save the planet.

Reform UK, got 4 seats for their massive vote share of 4 million (14.3%) this is why i think a change of the voting system is nessacary. 14 % vote should return more than 4 seats.
