Reform

[chris123]

What Farage says and what Farage does are rarely the same.

In that regard he'll be little change.

But he deserves his chance....I think that's the majority feeling in the country.

You can promise until the cows come home doesn't change the fact that there's no money

It's a cast iron cert that he's going to do a 'Javier Milei'.

Back to 'Thatch' fever dream.

You might even see Ben Elton make a comeback.

A warning that most people should realise.......on both accounts.

Cutting wasteful ideological spending will free up some money but the state of the economy after this govt will be dire

Oh gawd.

My socially conservative alternative gets weaker by the day.

I'll vote Reform to get the left out of power and then probably switch to Advance to get these neoliberals out.

Advance seem to be what Reform were before Farage and his ambition with its pick n mix.

He has that moulded plastic look produced by A.I.

Reform continue to demonstrate they are not a serious party Their prisons adviser wants men in women’s prisons, and one of their health advisers is pushing vaccine conspiracy theories, unchallenged by Reform’s leadership.

It sounds like you want Labour to win another election.

I can only cheer the right wing parties squabbling, they will get under 30% each and Labour will get more in the next GE then either,splitting the their vote is heaven. 👍 👍 👍

There are local elections in May and there are those who believe that a disappointing result for Conservatives could seal the fate of Badenoch.
There are those who also believe that Reform is deserving of their vote in May. I thought I would inform the great and good that one Reform council leader declared that taxes could be cut without a single service reduction. Total hogwash. Anyone who has wrestled with a £ billion county budget knows it is pure fantasy.

Protest politics is simple, it costs nothing to spout slogans. But it doesn’t pay for care placements, fix potholes, or balance the books etc etc etc. On the day-to-day frontline of local government, Reform’s rhetoric looks not just lightweight but laughable.

Local government is VERY bloated in Croydon 93% of jobs paying in excess of £100,000 arelocal Council jobs with incredibly gilt edged pensions attached, I can see huge cost savings.There meetings in Foreign climes costing mega money are notorious costing 10s of thousands.

If we voted for a party on the basis of how many claims and promises they failed to deliver on, the Tories and Labour would do very badly.
It would therefore seem rather daft to judge a party that has never been in power on what they might not do.
Reform don't represent a protest. They represent the desperation of the electorate with the direction this country has been taken in by two main parties over the last few decades.

This is a defining moment in politics.

We can all form judgements on what they have already announced.
The energy policy disintegrated the day after it was announced, the no taxation for those earning under £20K has disappeared into the ether. The Reform pledge of stopping the boats within 2 weeks of taking office has been amended to within 2 weeks of legislation.Plans on Law and Order to expel 10,000 foreign criminals and using the Army to build new prisons remains uncosted and the practicalities are unclear.
The rest is a quagmire and much of it is attention-seeking pie-in-the sky.
Labour are floundering and Reform are making promises they know they cannot keep.

Reform are benefitting as a result of a totally discredited Labour government and a Conservative Party that suffered a humiliating defeat and has to regain the trust of the electorate. As I have stated before, Reform are not a political oasis, they are a mirage.

So why on earth are so many Tory turncoats laving to join Reform? Don't waffle on about an earth shattering policy review that is bollo's Willo.

You are judging a party who have never been in government for party political reasons.

I will vote Reform for a different direction. Not because I am a member of the Reform Party.

The country needs a proper right wing government and if they learn on the job, then so be it. It is a process.

It is hardly a 'Flood'. To paraphrase Boris Johnson, the herd has not moved.
It would of course be foolish to assume there will be no further defections.There may be some people who are impatient and just have a desire to rush to whatever is looking good at the present time.
Whilst some seek what they believe is a political oasis there are Conservatives who are staying to fight, rebuild and win again, whether under Kemi Badenoch or another leader. I am of this cohort.

Wouldn't they form a coalition? I would suspect Reform would be the senior party. But there is still time for things to happen. Labour need a Falklands style miracle - which I personally find a little worrying.

Maybe Two Tier will send an angry Email to Putin... Or perhaps he will liberate the Isle of Wight.
