So Labour goes for what two years then Farage becomes PM?

They've got five years with this majority.

If Labour can provide basic public services then they are in for a while. If there is a major migrant crisis throughout Europe (more than there is now) things could shift, but.

Nothing says Starmer (or who) can't call an election before that and sink his own ship.

This isn't the first time a Farage outfit has surged in the polls as a sort of protest vote. UKIP got 12.6% in 2015, which touched off the Brexit referendum and other nonsense, and then they completely face-planted in the next two elections. So they might expand from here, or they might fizzle.

They don't have to have another election until 2029, and they can reset that 5 year clock with an election every time they think the political environment is beneficial for them.

I mean, they have 400+ seats. They'll just appoint a new Labour PM if they don't want him anymore.

What? This makes no sense at all.

They could just not try to pass a law and rule for 7 years. But I bet they get a failed vote triggering an election when they try to pass a law making it illegal to be trans.

I would bet against that, but what do I know.
