Page 24 | Are you now more likely to vote for REFORM (the party)

Decisiondecisions · 2026-02-18T14:49:03+00:00

NC for this and apologies if Q already asked. My quick search yielded no result. Reform plan to undo the reversal of 2 child cap benefit. Are you now likely (or more likely) to vote for them? There have been endless threads about the welfare bill.

FluffMagnet · 19/02/2026 08:03

No fucking way am I voting for them ever. They are sucking up the very worst of the last few Tory governments and presenting them as change?!

YourKonstantine · 19/02/2026 08:01

Disagree :)

Already have, definitely will again. Get rid of bloody useless labour and tories, let someone else have a go. It can’t get any worse!

It definitely can get worse and will if Reform get in.

Barney16 · 19/02/2026 07:58

Nope, never. I don't understand why Reform gets so much press and I don't understand why there isn't more push back against some of their policies or practices.

I guess it depends what you think of as worse. As a female who is the mother of a disabled child then I think things would get much worse for me and many many others.

The only things that’ll make me more likely to vote for them are a lobotomy or being kicked savagely in the head by a horse. Hopefully neither of these will happen.

Yes it appears we’ve been ranking them and their victims based on ethnicity for a very long time, much to the country’s shame.

Yep, very icky that several posters (on this thread and others) only seem to care about white rape victims

Runssometimes · 19/02/2026 07:35

The party that will undo 30 years of environmental protection and get rid of the equality act? The ones who have all the failed Tories in it? The one with the leader who barely turned up for work when he was MEP and hasn’t been seen in his own constituency now he’s finally been elected as a constituency MP after years of not being able to achieve that? Er no. I wouldn’t vote for them for a million pounds.

Lampzade · 19/02/2026 07:21

Never

mellongoose · 19/02/2026 07:13

No. For many reasons. They still have to go through the learning curve of scrutiny of policies and whether they can all stick together. Spoiler alert…they won’t.

This awful government has to go but my vote is not for Reform.

Sartre · 19/02/2026 07:04

Aren’t Labour doing this anyway? I’d rather vote for Larry the cat.

KimberleyClark · 19/02/2026 07:03

Being for sex based rights and spaces for women is not 'anti-trans' unless you are admitting that being pro-trans is anti-women.

It's about males in communal female spaces where women and girls are in a state of undress. Women and girls are affected by this, and it's unhinged to deny it's a real issue. Every woman has to use a toilet. Or change room. Males in female spaces affects far more women (and girls) than those things you listed. If we had your way we'd never talk about the issue because none of the issues you list are really ever going to be eradicated. Google the Urinary Leash. Women could not even participate in society (well at least only as far as their bladder could hold) before female only toilets came in. Forget work! If women don't have our own toilets we can't work!

There are girls who stay home from school when on their period because in their gender neutral toilets with the boys in the cubicles next to them, they have no private place to change their pads. Rattle of the plastic makes the boys giggle. Girls are losing time at school, over a basic hygiene and sanitary issue! Women are not drinking during the day and restricting fluids so they don't have to use the toilets at work, and getting UTIs and you can die from sepsis. A few on this board have said this about themselves. Don't you see? If women self-exclude from participating in society, the economy collapses anyway. There is no greater issue than this.

I think we can all agree that women's spaces are important and should be preserved.
Where we don't agree is that there are many of us who don't believe this to be the biggest single issue that derails a lot of threads.
To quote Keir Starmer - we get it. We just think a functioning NHS, economy and society are more important.

Not wasps specifically, but one of Labours initial net zero policies was to use the tax system to push people towards incorporating insects into their diets . So you jest, but you might very well end up doing that in the unlikely event that Labour get a 2nd term.

I’m a vegetarian so I’ll pass on the insects of any kind.

Vote for the man who wiped billions of the economy through Brexit, only to repackage a bunch of tories and ruin the country once and for all? This is the man who said our NHS would be stronger and everything better if brexit went through. He is a fraud and a bully. Reform is being run by billionnaires. Does anyone regard £75000 spent on flags in Notts by Reform as good use of public money? Or the millions spent on a waste consultant in Leics?

No it's not a good use of money but still a better use of money than spending £500k compensating 70 illegal migrants for the unlawful seizure of their mobile phones don't you think?

Taxpayers will foot the bill for compensation after 70 migrants had their phones unlawfully seized after arriving in Britain.

The whole anti trans stance on here is tedious in the extreme.

There are far more important, real life altering issues at steak which far outweigh some women’s need to continue to harp on about “trans”. And frankly it makes them look unhinged.

I think the economy, education, the NHS, unemployment, SEN education, and the list goes on far exceeds people’s objections to having to use a toilet cubicle next to a trans woman.

I think there are PLENTY of women who won’t vote for any party that think people can change sex. That’s a single issue but it’s a fine principle. Why vote for a party that expects you to nod along to a lie? What else are they going to lie about?

No intention of voting for Reform.

I'd rather be flayed alive than vote for Nigel and his Tory chums.

I'm astounded by anyone who says they're a reliable prospect. You just voted to get rid of half of that lot when they were part of the Tory party.

Turkeys voting for Christmas.

Summerbay23 · 18/02/2026 22:25

Not a chance! But then Trump was voted in for a second term so in politics madness often wins, so who know.
