UK: Get Behind Burnham If You Want To Stop Farage.

It's that simple: Reform UK has thirty percent of the vote tied up. Labour and the Conservatives each have twenty percent, but momentum in centre-right circles still swings in Reform's direction. Translation: only Burnham can give Farage a decent run for his money next time. Sure, the election is three years away, but keeping Reform out is supposed to be the name of the game.

Meanwhile, a recent Survation Makerfield poll has Burnham ahead of Kenyon by ten points:  49-39%. So it ain't rocket science. Burham gives Labour a fighting chance in the next election. Starmer, not at all. Starmer has an unfavourability rating ranging from -48 to -57 percent. In addition, 70 to 75 percent of Britons view him unfavourably. 

To put it in a Canadian context we already know so well, Starmer and Poilièvre are dicks. They're only hanging on for personal gain, and each of them puts the party last instead of first. At least Starmer is in office while our Canadian jerk can do no better than Official Opposition leader. Speaks volumes.

But in the end, both contests will be about sitting MPs in Parliament. Labour will almost undoubtedly give Starmer the heave-ho, no matter his insistence on remaining as PM. As for the Canadian Conservatives, the governing Liberals are at 50 percent in one recent poll. You all know what that means in the next snap Canadian federal election. Our Conservative clown is already toast. He should be gone as party leader in late fall. The voters will do for Conservative MPs what they so far refused to do themselves. Either way, next fall will be a great time for me: PP will be gone.
