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

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.

If they win are you all going to leave the UK?

In that unlikely event, a brain drain of people who can leave (those who have skills and means) is probable as they will see the likely direction such a government would go in.

Vote for Reform? 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Is this the comedy section? 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂

ContentedAlpaca · 18/02/2026 15:22

I won't be voting reform, restore, Labour or green.

Beamur · 18/02/2026 15:21

I won't be voting for Reform or Restore

😂 No.

Avantiagain · 18/02/2026 15:17

You might as well ask just are you going to vote for a bunch of racist cunts.

Christmasinmecar · 18/02/2026 15:16

I never vote for any thing in politics, the parties are as bad as each other and I don't remotely trust any thing they ever say. Not interested and I don't complain if things go tits up as I know I didn't vote for it.

dannyufcfan · 18/02/2026 15:16

Not if a gun was to my head. Never.

APatternGrammar · 18/02/2026 15:15

Not unless I have a lobotomy between now and the next election.
I'm sure most people understand that the gains in removing the benefit cap will be eaten up many times over by the additional costs caused by Reform's other policies to the average person (or if they don't, perhaps they shouldn't be voting).

Fundays12 · 18/02/2026 15:15

Nope I have 3 kids and will benefit from this policy but don't agree with removing the cap. We readjusted our spending when our (unplanned but very loved) third child came along. I think putting the money into free holiday clubs for working parents would be more beneficial as they cost more than I earn.

I have been watching Restore Britain with interest but as a scot dont know how them getting into power will affect us. We have a goverment totally out of touch with the average person.

Fuck no.

This thread thus far is restoring my faith in humanity.

I'm sure it won't last.

Agree, it gives (cautious) cause for hope!

Goldenbear · 18/02/2026 15:13

I can't imagine doing that- putting a cross next to Reform.

Perfectly put. Seconded.

Agreed. No intention of ever voting for them.

CoffeeCakeAndALattePlease · 18/02/2026 15:13

I would never vote for them.

ThingsAreNotWhatTheyWere · 18/02/2026 15:12

Not a cat in hell's chance.

BelleEpoque27 · 18/02/2026 15:03

No policy will ever induce me to vote for Reform.

Dodgy as fuck grifters, made up of the worst of the last Tory government, but led by racist Farage. Financed by Russia, MAGA copycats, who want women out of the workplace with a brood of kids to keep them quiet. Fuck that shit.

Anyone who votes for them should be ashamed of themselves. We'll see the end of women's rights, employment rights, the NHS. Is it really worth it?

Perfectly put. Seconded.

momager22 · 18/02/2026 15:11

No

CompanyOfThieves · 18/02/2026 15:10

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.

HelenaWaiting · 18/02/2026 15:09

You could put up anyone or anything against a Reform candidate and Reform still wouldn't get my vote. Even if the alternative were a chair or a duck.
