well, i'm delighted to be joined now by the acting editor of conservativehome, henry hill. postal votes are a controversial issue , and this controversial issue, and this election there may well be more postal votes cast than any pnon >> yeah, and that really is in relative terms , a really recent relative terms, a really recent a recent development in british democracy. the real take off was dunng democracy. the real take off was during new labour because in the 1997 general election, i believe about 640, 700 and something thousand people cast postal ballots . and by 2010 that was ballots. and by 2010 that was well over 6 million people. and it creates several distortive effects on our democracy. one, there's the logistical issue, especially when you have a snap election like this. there's a lot of moving parts. people have to get their applications in, have them approved . councils have them approved. councils have them approved. councils have to pass that on. they have to be posted out. lots of things that can go wrong. but it also means that millions of people have cast

henry hill and james schneider, i mean, chit chatting during the break like nato. have a heated debate , on, have a heated debate, gentlemen, right. okay, so, bofis gentlemen, right. okay, so, boris johnson is saying the tories can do this on their own . tories can do this on their own. henry, you know, we're going to go in. we don't need reform. is he right? >> i mean, they certainly shouldn't merge with reform . shouldn't merge with reform. now, the big question is what happens at the next election. because reform came second in 98 seats, a lot of those seats are labour facing seats where the tories are nowhere. if reform get into parliament with 20, 30, 40 seats in large parts of the country, that's it. the right is structurally divided. at some point ten, 15 years down the line, you're going to have to have a canada style merger. but for now, boris is right. but i think the shameless thing about this is what's the single biggest driver of reform uk getting in? it's the conservatives catastrophically breaking their promises on immigration. who broke that promise?
