Chance of a general election next year and Reform winning?

They are winning in the polls it seems. I've been watching Nigel Farage's Instagram, he really just talks common sense. I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says.
I'm definitely not far right and I'm not a leftie,
I think I'm somewhere in the middle.
But I am sick of Conservative and Labour and think it's time to give a new party a chance, especially if they are going to properly tackle illegal immigrants coming over and the ones that are already here.
I don't necessarily agree with his call to deport those with Indefinite leave to remain however.

Reform Culture.
I'm looking out purely for my loved ones and screw everyone else.
What a great way forward for the UK.

I stand with Twisty.

All day.

My fight is with Labour, nobody else.

How fucking dare you seek to play in minorities.
Shameful.

Oh I've touched a nerve.
Still no answer to my questions either.

Well blame Labour, that's what they've made me feel.
Labour won't look out for my family so I have to.

What’s with the insults?

The poster comes across as extremely immature.

And NF is a yob so 🤷🏼‍♀️

If anyone thinks Labour has fucked this country over you ain’t seen nothing compared to what Reform will do.

I have no idea how it will make your life better. That's your concern not mine.
All I know is that Labour are making mine worse.

The loss of support is due to persistent talking down if this country and making people feel fearful.

I want and need to hear something positive and upbeat from Reform. Are you able to to tell me this?

Is Labour able to tell anyone this? The doom is theirs. This is on them. Fighting talk, depressive.

If you want positivity vote for it at the next GE. Decide as you wish.

Yes I understand that. They want to live here, enjoy our benefits and freedoms but not integrate properly by dressing like a repressed woman from Afghanastan.

I feel uncomfortable whenever I see women dressed like this. In fact it makes me angry. I feel offended that woman dress like this because men decided our british clothes are 'indecent'. Now what they do in their own country is up to them but yes I don't really want to look at it.

I also feel uncomfortable when I watch documentaries on taliban, afghanastan etc and see the women there getting made to wear them. They are so clearly not valued. However I have no right to dictate what goes on in their country and given they now have a media blackout to go along with stopping women being educated who knows what is going on there.

And yes I am a woman who dresses modestly in british clothes and is white.

You can disagree or be horrified but there is lots of us that feel the same.

Which is your right.

Idk who I’m voting for, so if you need help probably best to ask others. I’ll decide when it gets to the GE.

I'm going to screw over anyone who I don't like, and sneer at them whilst I do it.

They will reverse the education tax for 1 thing. The rest we don't know because they haven't released a formal pre-election manifesto.
I can guarantee though that Labour won't make my life better.

Will Reform enrich my life? Will I be able to get NHS treatment at point of entry? Will I still have my triple lock pension? Will the potholes be filled? Will my energy supply be cheaper and secure? Will I have more money to spend to boost the economy?

@twistyizzy @GabrielsOboe @EasternStandard

Because all that would enrich my life.

And the answer is no-one knows. So you can't categorically say either way can you? Whereas I can say that categorically Labour have made my life worse.

I have less money to spend under Labour, I still can't get a dentist or doctor appointment, we are down to a 1 income family, paying an extra 20% on school fees, heating bills going up etc etc

I’m waiting to see what each party says. Are you really going to switch from Labour if you canvas for them?

The tax on private education establishments that are charities? If I was rich it wouldn't affect me at all. Are you income poor?

That isn't what it's about. It's about how Reform will make the lives of all those perceived as 'lesser' and 'other' worse. The disabled, women in the workplace, people who are a little bit brown, immigrants.

Well you need to get a job. I'm sure you're both capable. And you'll also have to put money aside to pay for GP and most certainly a dental appointment.
