A bitter pill to swallow but perhaps people need to see what they’d be like when they actually have to fix things instead of just constantly complaining that they’re broken.

My local candidate looks like he sells cocaine at 'spoons when he's not out badger baiting.

Ramsgate is a shithole, but UKIP enshittened it much higher.

They can just blame it on the national government right in time for the next general election

...that it was the tories who cut the local government grants in half. But that won't stop Deform saying it anyway. And people will believe them. *smh*

If the next GE reflects this result (unlikely but it's fun to imagine) we could have a lefty coalition with its minority partners demanding voting reform with opposition Deformists support. Once fptp is dead we could all start voting for who we actually want!
More likely, I think, the Tories remain toxic, Deform makes noise but only 20-30% of the vote, LDs remember how to campaign and take ~10 seats. Labour remain unpopular but can also effectively campaign and win a small majority, and so voting reform remains off the table.
