Is there something you know that you'd like to share with the class? I'm phrasing it snarkily because you're being dismissive, however the question is genuine. What is it that you know that I don't?

I'm reminded of an old joke about the Conservatives:
"But what are our actual policies?"
"The last thing we're going to do when ahead in the polls is talk about policies!"

My point being that Reform seem to be polling well but unless all the other parties decide to do literally nothing, so what? The polling at the time of an election is what matters.

Are the other parties just going to give up and go home? They're far too power hungry and self serving for that...
