And by that point most of their rights that came from EU law and converted to British will have been removed too so they won't be able to much.

If boat crossings and migration are reduced, he will claim responsibility for it.
If it doesn't, he will blame Labour/the EU

Yes - in 2019 the Lib Dems lost a seat despite increasing their vote share by more than 4%. This time they've gained a huge number of seats with just a 0.5% increase.

A brace is often enough, look at Aaron Connolly these days
We had a referendum about a decade or so ago asking the British people whether they would like to swap the current First Past The Post system for something more representative, and they said no thanks

If that happens, they've not really got a USP as a political party. Apart from being 'anti-woke' and yearning for a return to 'the good old days'.

Exactly the same experience in my household. Fired up a pretty good discussion about politics. Didn’t a certain Austrian Corporal target the youth?

I’ve no doubt the donors will be asked for more money soon enough.
Makes a change that it’s the British state funding it

So, when we reach America levels of inbreeding and stupidity due to fetishisation of the two party system, and both of our two “main” parties are rotten to the core, how do we escape that?
Don’t say it can’t happen, look at America right now. The relative beauty of (frankly most) other electoral systems is that with a larger quantity of parties that could potentially take power if the main two turn rotten those lobbyists who effectively want to control the discourse can’t simply corrupt two parties and then sit there job done. You can’t stop corruption completely, but you can make it expensive, time-consuming and difficult for those trying to perpetrate it.
Multiple smaller faster targets are harder to hit than two static targets. For me a two party system represents two static targets. I will support Labour’s first term, and possibly their second, we both know that by a third they’re likely to be rotten. Wouldn’t it be nice if instead of flipping back to the Conservatives for 2/3 terms there was a genuine prospect of a decent alternative?

I predict that Farage’s election will provide a four-year boom for egg farmers

Bit of a left wing bias on here!

Hecklers disrupt Reform UK event as Nigel Farage vows to ‘come after’ Labour
Party leader and newly elected MP claims ‘political establishment are in fear’ after election results

They had plenty of chance to get organised. Just like Labour and Lib Dem’s. The difference is that they didn’t take it because Farage was planning on being trump’s fluffer but then he realised he had a chance to push himself where he could not lose and a chance to make cash. So he did it for his own personal gain.
I will be quite shocked if he lasts five years in Parliament before getting bored and breaking rules so he can blame the establishment.
Yes. Just like in the overall country
