LOL, you'd have thought that Falange would have been able to organise a piss-up in a brewery!

I wonder how that would translate into seats under first past the post?

I punched it into an electoral calculator. It would put things into a hung Parliament.
Labour 287 seats
Tory 128
Reform 106
Liberal Democrats 77
Green 4
SNP 16

A Labour and Liberal Democrat coalition would easily be able to form a coalition government
with a majority or a confidence and supply deal would be struck. Though as with any electoral calculator caveats apply (single poll with a small sample size, not a
uniform picture of the entirety of the UK). And people now know how to do tactical voting.
