I am, Tories can’t be trusted and got us into the mess we are in now and we all know that lib/lab/snp and green will do to women’s rights. i don’t expect reform to win much but I read to say that amongst young males labour and Reform are both polling at 35% Among young women though Reform are polling very badly and Labour are polling exceptionally high. I guess if women are happy to vote their rights away that is their choice but I won’t.

I will just leave it here, a very good illustration of your vote:

Amusingly, I've just seen a piece on the news about the party leaders going to the polls. Everyone else was at a polling station. Amusingly, Farage has already voted via postal ballot.

I say "amusingly" because one of his new constitutional policies is to remove postal voting rights for all but the 'elderly, disabled or those unable to leave their homes', because of concerns over voter fraud (screenshot from online manifesto). Not even he believes his own BS.

Here's the proof of the Nigel's postal vote news btw before one of his flying monkeys accuse me of Fake News. Exercising his constitutional rights before his party takes them away (he wishes).

I find it hard to believe the OP is real. If Farage ever became Prime Minister I would start a revolution myself!

Have you seen Years and Years?

Reform are a racist and sexist party built on hate, why on Earth would I vote for them?!

TinySmol · 04/07/2024 20:41

Why are you voting for fascists?

Sure we will see. I’m not bothered if reform do badly though, all I really want is for the conservatives to do really, really badly. After that the Rump that is left of the Tories can either be infiltrated or collapse, again not bother which, just as long as we get proper right wing party that wants to roll back almost everything since the Blair years and introduce socially conservative values into the education system.

Also what could Labour do with a majority of 250 that they couldn’t do with a majority of 150? Nothing. It would make no difference except in one and one thing only. In a democracy a governing party needs an effective opposition to look legitimate.

If Labour won every single seat on a smaller vote share than Corbyn got in 2017 it wouldn’t give them any more power than Blair had, it would just make them look illegitimate. If they are going to win big anyway I’m all for it.

You are assuming that people in the UK would vote en masse for a far right government. That the left wouldn't unite against it (as the French are).

Enjoy your fantasy. I am going to enjoy the demise of the most far right Tory government we have ever had to suffer.

Could you list your reasons for believing Reform are neo Nazi? Is there anything to suggest they are as anti-Semitic as the left?

Reform candidates accused of 'antisemitic' posts

Reform UK is facing calls to drop two candidates who posted conspiracy theories and material deemed antisemitic, as further questions are raised about the party's vetting process.

They’re anti everyone not exactly like them.
They’ve been racist and misogynistic and disablist all over the place.

I have never voted Nazi.

VerySadCase · 04/07/2024 20:32

I think you're wrong about Tory voters switching to Reform if the Tory party collapses. I'm no fan of the Tories but even I don't think most of them are fascists!

I don't actually believe that the far right will ever get significant support in the UK. The majority of British people are too decent and too intelligent to stoop that low.

Mayhemmumma · 04/07/2024 20:31

I'm quite shocked that a feminist voted reform. Makes no sense to me but it's your vote OP.

MalcolmTuckersSwearBox · 04/07/2024 20:30

And no, I did not and would not vote for them.

Kayemm · 04/07/2024 20:29

Those who voted Reform, how do you feel that low income people who have a chronic illness would cope under an insurance based health service?

Mindset acceptable? What am I? Orwell’s thought police making windows into men’s souls? It takes a lot of arrogance to declare another’s thoughts unacceptable because people will have reasons for thinking what they do, even if we dont understand what those reasons are.

So am I correct in thinking that there are circumstances in which you think that calling autistic people 'vegetables' is acceptable? (Parent of an autistic young adult).

Which socially conservative policies would you like to see brought in?

FFS! It’s nice that the equalities act has never have to be used to protect you but surely you can see how it protects many others??? It may have been fine for your before it came in but it wasn’t fine for a lot of people.

Labour, HTH.

What’s wrong with scrapping the equalities act? I just don’t see any problem with that at all. I’m old and can remember what things were like pre-2010 and they were fine as I remember it.

But obviously we can all vote for whoever we want, just please don’t say you never knew what you were voting for when Labour bin women’s rights. If people vote for a party that wants to do that in large enough numbers they will get it and shouldn’t complain when they do. 🙂
