You'd be a fool to predict the next election this far out, but my feeling is: the Stop Farage vote is far more determined than any Stop X vote I can remember.

No matter how popular Reform seems to be, I suspect they won't win a GE because 65% of us will do almost anything to prevent it.

The Saxons didn't call this place 'West Wales' for nothing. 😎
Plenty of people around here see Reform as some sort of saviour, sometimes it's about a fear of brown people and small boats, but usually it's down to believing that Reform will in some way make their lives better, with no evidence.

There are a few, but I'm sure there are a lot of Welsh that see Reform as a good bet, too. Motives probably unrelated to much of what Reform wants, but there's the likelyhood that they're in a dark place and see no way out for them being promised by other parties.

The key take from the election is that ‘anyone but Reform’ is effective. Just not for those parties aping Reform.

I've found FF a bit of a slow startup. The OS (Mint) pedals hard and eventually the tabs start to fill up with content. I suspect it now being a Snap package is the problem.
