To reckon that Reform will win the next election, and to be utterly terrified about it? 😪

The latter group is called pirates: those who plunder for their own gains. Disgusting.

How on earth you interpreted my post as some sort cheerleading for Reform I have no idea.

Oh look it's another one post and done op.

Not brown, Islamic.

Many vote Reform I suspect because they are frightened for Britain becoming brown.
Many vote Reform because they see opportunities in contracts, to make money as old institutions are closed off and new organisations needed to fill the gap. Private medicine, more care homes, less regulation. An unregulated financial world. And want a piece of the pie. This group could not care a jot about immigration at all.

But hey, thugs would be having a field day beating up anyone a shade too brown, with an accent or looking a little too camp. It would be nasty and brutish.

You're "utterly terrified" that reform might win the election (at least not "literally" I suppose) but by the time we get an election there'll be more of the current Tories in reform than there will be left in the conservatives. They will sideline Farage and a senior Tory will end up running the show. Back to square one.

The NHS will be no more.
The FCA who guarantee financial institutions and the £85,000 will go.
A lot of benefits will be wiped.
They are curiously a bit silent on pensions. The Australian variety apparently but don’t explain how you move from a contributory to their version. And are means tested. If you have too many assets/money you don’t get so much/anything.
They want to recruit ex army personnel into police roles. Confusing the two.

The country will be very altered.

We've had the change. 👍 Get used to it

American democracy is turning sour bloody quickly though. Our 'bland' democracy wouldn't stay 'bland' for long. Complacency will be our downfall.

Just the thought of having to listen to Braverman ranting like a lunatic about leaving the human rights act everyday will put people off.

No chance. More Labourites are disillusioned with the current government but just won't admit it.

Labour have done lots of stupid things with far reaching effects. I’m voting Reform simply because they’re the most likely to undo all of Labour’s policies.

I believe the opposite - they are now less attractive. I think they have made a mistake taking in a lot of MPs closely associated with Boris Johnson’s reign of failure. There hasn’t been enough water under the bridge and not one of them has accepted any responsibility over their roles in the failures.

Braverman who presided over the highest levels of immigration of all time isn’t reborn like a phoenix just because she’s put on a different color rosette.

Reform just look like the home for ambitious poor performers who pushed us into the economically disastrous Brexit.

Jenrick, Braverman etc basically shat the bed and are blaming others for the smell.

I think they might win (or be the biggest party) simply because so many people are fed up with the other main parties. 🙄

Yes, exactly this.
They could do something really stupid with far reaching effects.

Quite. It's certainly hit me in the tax department. Not to mention the implosion of the party who can't even get behind their leader. I am more "utterly terrified" at the hard left taking over as PM. @MissMollyanna

I don't think they will, I just think there's a lot of noise around them in the media (incl. Social)

So many terrified wet wipes on here, or maybe just added for the drama of it.

It’s pretty terrifying living under the current Government for a lot of people.

Action is the antidote to despair. Don't roll out the red carpet for them by talking it up.

Shame Burnham was denied standing. I would have loved to see Reform whip his arse.

I heard that about the conservatives. The true is that they are all shit so run while you can.

Like a Trump couldn’t be worse than he was the first time? Or he couldn’t be worse than Biden or Bush?
Your post is a cop out.

The took over our local council, claiming there would be cost-cutting by getting rid of waste, getting rid of EDI roles, not putting council tax etc

Got in, realised there was no waste to cut, no full time EDI roles, that they HAD to provide statutory services, that there was no spare money .. now putting up Council Tax, Closing Care Homes, and massively in-fighting. The only thing they seem to have succeeded on is flying the Union Jack from council buildings.

Imagine that on a National Scale ..
