But Davey is having to be a sensible one at the same time as the straight talking populist. That is harder to pull off.

I've not watched Ulster for years but isn't there a TUV that's outflanking the DUP.

Meanwhile a horde of one-man grifter parties are buzzing about Nigel's right elbow.

I was thinking about TUV, but hadn't seen the latest results (2024). They got 6.2% and won North Antrim off the DUP. So perhaps things have changed, but the DUP had a good run after going into government with Sinn Fein.

I think Farage will handle Rupert Lowe and co well enough, and a bit of distance from them might help with picking up Tory votes. He could be like Nixon in 1968, who had George Wallace making him look moderate.
