Reform are getting a shitload of voters

This thread is showing exactly why people have voted Reform - there's a nasty implication of stupid, working class, northern idiots. Don't worry, the sensible southerners will show them how they should have voted

This - no one learned a thing from Brexit it seems

Absolute this.

I detest Reform with a passion but you will never get people onside by feeling them that they're stupid, ignorant, or God forbid, Northern

In 4 years you will have the same number of young people of voting age. The current young people will have grown up.

Don't be too sure.

Young people's votes were very much a factor in the success of right wing and far right parties in the European Parliament elections.

And read the thread on here about school mock elections. Not all those schoolkids were voting Reform to wind up the teachers. They'll be voting at 18 - or 16 if Labour change the voting age as they've said they would.

What? Working class men have never particularly had power or respect. They don’t expect to be handed anything, either, as they are…you know…working.

This - no one learned a thing from Brexit it seems.

What a load of rubbish…

Look to Europe.

Which goes to show that climate change is not the massive topic people bleat on about when it comes to the crunch.

Hand power to a tiny minority party made up of individuals no one actually voted for? Yeah, that worked well in Scotland.

Not the case for my teens or their friends. All voted reform yesterday, all read the manifesto's and all made their own decisions.

But they got more votes than the greens.

Yep. He will be replaced as leader. Labour didn’t win because of Starmer, they won because the conservatives lost. Bet you the vast majority of people who voted labour couldn’t name a single policy (let’s face it Starmer struggled). It wasn’t a vote for Labour it was a vote against the Tories.

You’re naive, to say the least if you don’t understand the people lurking waiting for a 5 year term to make a leadership bid.

Yeah because from previous generations they are used to just be handed whats they perceive is their due, job security, family, automatic respect - turns out one has to work for an opportunity to get these. Just like women and not white men have to.

I think a lot of the Reform votes are disgruntled Tories making a protest vote.
In general young people aren't voting for Reform. In 4 years we'll have another 4 years of young people of voting age.

Labour have only got 1.7% more of the vote than they did at the last election; while they have won on FPTP, this is not a huge success story for them.

Tory vote collapsed and split between Reform and smaller parties.

At 4m votes for Reform so far, Reform have leapfrogged Lib Dems and are now the third party of the UK. Despite them only having taken 4 seats so far, it's a stunning victory for them.

Unless people wake up and vote in any party that will implement Proportional Representation then the UK will forever have two cheeks of the same arse in charge.

I might have muddled you up with someone else @OneForTheToad - sorry if so.

I don't even trust myself to go back and try to unravel it. I'm so tired. I should just accept I'm too old for this all-nighter stuff.

Starmer wins the biggest majority EVER

But he's going to be gone in a year? OK @Devonbabs 😂

Yep, all I’ve heard is “We need a change”.

it’s like living in a house where the roof needs replacing. Rather than save for a new roof, we’ve burned down the house and are now living in a soon to be reposted car thinking, well at least the roof doesn’t need fixing!

Who said I support Reform?

It’s actually better that Reform voters stop masquerading as conservatives and just show who they are. Better for everyone in politics to see what’s actually going on.

No, they won’t think carefully at all. In fact they won’t think, they’ll just do it.

And the bulk of you suckers have no clue, and deserve it.

Reform are a lot less scary than the bunch of misogynists who have very few policies we now have in power! Our woman hating new local MP will be making life hard for women and girls in the eork place, in sports and socially. He is keen to cut out freedom of speech. Give me Reform any day. I’m glad Farage won a seat, I’m sad there aren’t more Reform MPs.

The only saving grace is that after 5 years people will undoubtedly know how they screwed up this time. Hopefully Reform will be in a much stronger position to reverse the damage Labour will cause.

Off to the bookies to bet on Starmer being gone within a year.

And what is going to be done for White working class men to make them choose Labour or Conservative in the next election

Probably nothing because being white and a man is seen as a privilege
and yet these people don’t feel privileged.

Reform got fewer seats than they hoped and many expected and didn't get any more than the greens
