Any Abers Agree .
The Conservatives deserve to be "Smashed " into political oblivion at the next election says Richard Tice, leader of the Reform UK party.
He would never even consider doing another deal with the Tories to keep Labour out of power. Saying he still bears the scars from the 2019 pact that Nigel Farage agreed with Johnson to get him elected and get Brexit done.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Smashed isn't going to happen, by the next election inflation should be coming down, and hopefully things will have settled. I would expect a cycle of coalitions and infighting with repeated elections. Part of the reason things have been so bad is two party politics works best when you have a government with a working majority only and a strong opposition Big majority ineffective opposition leads to arrogance But at the moment they are still the lesser of two evils.
//erm how very presumptuous of him to suppose he will be in a position to offer deals lol.//
lol? Why?
Dont you understand how it works? If Tice puts up candidates they will, without doubt, take votes from the two main parties. In marginal seats this can make or break the result. That is what he means.

//Good luck with that. He's going to lose an awful lot of deposits.//
Unless Sunak pulls a rabbit out of the hat I wouldnt be so sure. Tice also has the advantage of apealing to disenchanted Conservative and Labour voters so while it is highly unlikely he will win many (if any) I doubt the deposit will be lost across the board.
Even if it is though, at least Reform are trying to break the 2 party system we have which has to be a good thing. At the moment the two parties are two cheeks of the same backside.
