Nigel Farage has been here before. He told me on the day after the 2015 general election: “I think the First Past The Post system is bankrupt, it is bankrupt because one party can get 50 per cent of the vote in Scotland and nearly 100 per cent of the seats, and our party can get four million votes and just one seat."
Farage - then the leader of the UK Independence Party - was appalled that his party had won 3.9million votes yet had been left with just one MP on polling day.
Now, nine years later, he is about to get started again, as today he forecast to me in our Leaders interview on GB News that he thinks Reform UK will win six million votes at tomorrow's general election, and yet - most probably - barely be left with a handful of MPs, if that.
His target is electoral reform which tends to mean that our smaller parties like the Liberal Democrats tend to get squeezed out by our First Past The Post system.
Farage said: 'By this time next week the campaign for electoral reform will be in full cry. I know because I'm going to be part of it'

He told me: "By this time next week the campaign for electoral reform will be in full cry. I know because I'm going to be part of it."
Farage means it and unlike after previous election disappointments, he has resigned. Not this time.
He told me he would stay on as Reform UK leader "until somebody younger and better looking comes along" (don't forget, Farage has said he wants tor remain leader until the next general election in 2029).
And between now and then Farage wants to start to overhaul a party (which is technically a company that he owns) which he only started to lead a month ago.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Christopher Hope believes that Farage will stick around no matter the result tomorrow

He told me: "I will starting on Friday professionalise Reform UK, democratise Reform UK, build a branch structure around the country.
"I want us to be the voice of Opposition in the House of Commons.... the ambition is we establish this bridgehead tomorrow and then build a mass movement for real change."
This time, if feels different. Farage is going to stick around, whatever happens tomorrow.
