Looks like America's bullshit has completely destroyed Conservatives lead in Canada. That and other factors of course but it looks like anti-American sentiment is good for political parties when America is deciding to attack literally everyone on the planet. I'll still not pop out the champagne, Conservatives still have a good chance of winning it seems, but it's good to see the collapse which will hopefully rein them in if they do win.

Wish the same would happen to Farage and Badenoch...

I doubt Badenoch will be leader of the Tories by next election anyway, if there is one thing Tories are good at, it is backstabbing their leaders when they aren't working out and Badenoch is very much not working out, Badenoch is just there to keep the seat warm until the next election until someone serious takes over, she is there to soak the hits after a Tory battering.

Farage is definitely an issue. The frustrating thing with the UK is that we're largely pro-Ukraine, largely anti-Russia, a lot of Brits dislike Trump and are apathetic towards America, but we vote for Farage who is Britain's Trump, all he has to say is "Immigrants" and he will receive thousands of votes, Lol. Then after 14 years of Tories destroying the economy, Labour is only given 4 months to fix things, Lmao.

UK's media is a problem too, it is full of right wing press, the biggest tabloids are far-right.

I think the key difference between America/Canada and America/UK though is that America has yet to attack UK in the same way they have with other countries, so the only possible attacks towards America are his treatment of Ukraine/Zelenskyy/Europe and the only ones doing that are Lib Dems and SNP. While Labour is very much sitting on the fence and trying to keep Trump on side.

Though Farage has recently came out and said Ukraine should be in NATO, but then he criticised Zelenskyy's behaviour, then he criticised JD Vance for his "random countries" comment, Lmao. Farage is a populist but he is struggling to blend his populism with his loyalty to Trump, if America/UK trade deal falls apart and Trump tariffs UK, I wonder what stance he will take then.
