@gwydion_uk@_HenryBolton@AndrewHWestern The SDP has an Orwellian "proscribed list" consisting exclusively of right-wing nationalist groups. It bans tens of thousands of patriots who were formerly affiliated with any of them. They have the single most restrictive membership rules of any party in this part of the world.
Britain's version of this was Reform not standing a candidate against Ed Miliband in Doncaster North in 2024.
They were a dead cert to win it, but Tice has worms in his brain so stood down for the SDP who got 6.3% 🤦♂️
“Economically left-wing” party the “Social” Democrats don’t think that it’s the responsibility of the state to ensure that everyone who lives within its borders are appropriately fed 🥴
Absolute jokers
@_HenryBolton Henry, by that logic the SDP shouldn't contest any elections. Having said that though, nobody votes for them, so not the same thing really.
If only William Clouston had public profile of Farage, and the SDP the polling numbers of Reform.
They seem like a much more serious outfit, with a much more considered leader, and with none of the usual nutter baggage that tends to plague right of centre insurgent parties.
