Let’s hope it gets used to remove Labour.

Let’s hope Farage gets arrested.

Yep, and it's utterly wrong. Biden was wrong to pardon his son. Trump was wrong to pardon Ben Delo and all of the other criminals that he has chosen to pardon.

But who do centre right voters vote for? The collapsing Tory party? Reform are the natural replacements for them. It's boring hearing liberals go on and on about racism when it doesn't apply to the vast majority of Reform supporters. You get extremists in every voting pool at both ends of the political spectrum

Show quote history

If they aren’t racist, why would they vote for a racist party lead by a racist millionaire? What does reform have to offer?
I can’t understand any working class person with an ounce of intelligence wanting to vote for a party that won’t benefit them in the slightest.

No I would say that is spot on. You are a fool if you think Farage will help working class. He will remove workers rights, decimate public services and welfare state, move to privatising health service and make his billionaire buddies and corporate execs even richer at our expense while destroying our environment by moving away from renewables and back to drill baby drill. He won’t want us educated as stupid people are easier to manipulate. He also won’t stop the boats. They will need us serfs to do all the jobs AI won’t do.

That is what my crystal ball tells me bases on Farages character and his manifesto.

I think I'd like parties to be centrally funded. Hear me out.... base it on a per vote limit based on the last General Election results. So if you get 20 million votes for Labour, that's what you get £20million at £1 per head. Or something like that. No corporate/union or personal donations allowed.

Ah it's just a wild thought and I know it's probably fraught with more negatives than I think!

OK, throw the brickbats at me, I'd be interested to hear other alternatives!

How does a new party get started with no money?

How is a result from four or five years ago relevant?

Millions voted for it because they were influenced to believe that the EU was the source of their problems and that it was in their best interests to leave. How well do you think that has worked out for them?

As for the influence of the crapto millionaires on Reform party policy, well, I don't know, what do you think? Is it the ordinary people of Clacton clamouring for the deregulation of crapto currency, cuts to capital gains tax on crapto profits, and the blocking of the Bank of England's plan to introduce a state-run alternative digital currency that has influenced Reform party policies on this issue or might there be other factors at work here?

He's a British expat so it's allowed.

I don't think donations should be allowed from people who have chosen to be domiciled overseas, but under the current rules, there is nothing to stop this.

Show quote history

Or rather, he’s recently registered to vote in the UK so it’s allowed. He’s quoted as having said ‘where there’s a will there’s a way’ in response to rule changes on capping donations from overseas.

Give your head a wobble! You don’t seriously think a Reform govt. will be interested in doing anything useful for the ordinary British person?

It’s pretty obvious they’ll be focusing on making their foreign donors/wealthy pals even richer. And they can only get rich at the expense of the poor.

Can you afford private education and healthcare?
If Reform gets in, you’ll end up forking out hundreds of
£££ just to see your GP.

Is that what you really want to see happen?
