Analysis. Reform UK is in freefall. Election 2024. The New Statesman.
Reform UK's freefall can be attributed to a combination of leadership issues, controversial candidates, and damaging incidents that have eroded public trust.

Vedanta and Pantanjali
Vedanta and Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are closely related, yet have distinct perspectives on the path to liberation. Advaita Vedanta, the non-dualistic school of Vedanta, asserts that there is only one ultimate reality - Brahman. The individual self (Atman) is not separate from Brahman, and the perceived duality is an illusion born of ignorance (avidya). The goal is to realize the non-dual nature...
Why do some in the press describe the Liberal Democrats as the "Cuddly Party "?
Why do some in the press describe the Liberal Democrats as the "Cuddly Party "?
The Liberal Democrats are sometimes described as the "Cuddly Party" due to their moderate, centrist policies and non-confrontational image compared to the two main parties, Labour and the Conservatives.[2] However, this perception belies the party's ruthless electoral strategy and laser-focused approach to targeting specific constituencies under Ed Davey's leadership.[2]
The party has shown remarkable discipline in recent by-elections, securing some of the biggest swings since 1945 through an unrelenting approach to leafleting and canvassing.[2] Nationally, the Lib Dems are concentrating their finite resources on a select list of key constituencies, primarily those currently held by the Conservatives, in a bid to capitalize on disillusioned Tory voters.[2]
This streamlined strategy, led by the party's respected election coordinator Dave McCobb, involves identifying local concerns and translating them into national messages focused on issues like sewage, the NHS, and the cost of living.[2] More traditional Lib Dem policies like electoral reform have taken a backseat.[2] The party's ultimate goal is to create a perception of "winning momentum" among voters in their target seats.[2]
So while the Lib Dems may project a "cuddly" image, their electoral machine is anything but, with a ruthless focus on maximizing gains in a carefully selected set of winnable constituencies.[2]
