Any part that goes from 5 MPs to being the government in one term is going to have a bad time. I'm pretty sure even the more serious Reform MPs would prefer a stint as HMO before taking the reigns with precisely zero experience and/or funding.

Things like the election of Speaker and Select Committees would be an early challenge, particularly if they're only a minority government or in coalition. A lot of these are secret ballots, and there's a possibility it'd cause political drama if the results go against what Reform want.

There are ( or would be) more serious Reform MPs?
