    Maybe, but at least looking from the outside I think that’s a lot less reasonable than LibDems taking 2nd place. Reform seems more likely to take votes away from Conservatives, but not enough to gain a large number of seats. Basically, they’ll play spoiler thanks to the undemocratic FPTP voting system, but Labour and LibDems will benefit the most from that. (Which is hilarious, considering how much FPTP has unfairly helped out the Conservatives over the last few elections. Maybe after this yous can finally get a bipartisan consensus in favour of switching to a real democracy.)

      Labour would never switch from FPTP. This election is showing just how much they benefit from it too

        This election it’s helping them. 2019, 2017, 2015, and 2010, it helped the Conservatives.
