The Answer To "Dont Split The Vote" - Restore Britain vs Reform UK

Описание: Everyone says splitting the vote handed Thatcher her 1983 landslide. The academic data says the opposite. We dig into the real history — and then look honestly at the numbers that actually should worry Restore Britain supporters.

Restore Britain is at 7% in the polls. Reform is 18 seats short of a projected majority. The arithmetic is severe. But there's one data point that almost every analysis ignores — and your own comments called it before the polling did.
