AIBU to vote reform

[MeadowL]

Anyone else sick of the Tories and Labour and will be voting reform?

THIS!!!

So many 'aren't Labour terrible' and 'Muslim invasion' posts.

They must think we're stupid.

I can understand why people might leap from Tory to Reform, but Labour to Reform is such a huge leap.

People who might have voted Labour, but don't want to for any reason, are much more likely to go Lib Dem, Green, anoth r left wing party or even Tory before they leap to an extreme right party.

Oh yes, remind me what is Andrew Tate’s ‘business’ again, how does his business keep us in the G7?

im Not from the Uk. So all I can read about them is online.

coukd you explain to me what it is that appeals to you?

No because I'm not an arsehole 🤷🏻‍♀️

Our local Reform candidate is qualified due to her 'lived experiences'.

I definitely will not be.

I do live in the southeast and have seen migrants being picked up by the coastguard when I’m out sailing, and hearing the coastguard siren go off continuously on good crossing days.

Unless we erect a ring of steel around the country a couple of hundred yards out to sea we are not going to stop people landing. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live in some dystopian island prison.

Exactly. Neither pasta nor potatoes.

Change for the worse.

I got LibDem and Rejoin EU (didn't know there was such a party!), closely followed by Labour and Green; then Women's Equality Party,

The manifesto looks pretty positive to me. It deals with many issues that people on this forum complain about.

Or we could actually prosecute rapists. We barely do under the Tories.

Believe me I’m as far away as a woman obsessed with such a character as you can imagine! Interesting as I thought Farage said that Tate was an important voice for men.

I don’t disagree, but I still think people who want to live and work in this country should be vetted and have job prospects… other countries like Australia do this, I don’t see why it’s beyond us.

It's interesting that the poll sits at 21% YANBU. Which is about what the general opinion polls are saying. But given how left wing it is on here I think that speaks volumes about how much secret support Reform have. I wouldn't be surprised if they got 25% vote share on Thursday.

I'll be voting for them because I want to see the Tories completely obliterated and a stake driven through their zombie corpse. They haven't conserved anything in this country. They've pillaged and looted it while throwing open the door even wider to mass immigration. They're just an obstacle to a sincere conservative movement rising and they must be finished off.

Apart from some asylum seekers they do. And asylum seekers are a tiny fraction of immigration. No country can ever ensure actual illegal immigrants are documented because if they become known to authorities then they have to go through processes to make them not illegal - which result in documentation or removal.

why would any woman think their vote was well spent with reform?

Excellent. I don’t want another showman representing me. I want a competent politician. I’d actual prefer them a bit dull and boring.

The question isn’t whether we support Reform. It’s whether she’s unreasonable to vote for them - and as several posters have pointed out she is not as we live in a democracy. The vote here in no way indicates support for reform. Anyway, I don’t think MN is particularly left wing, taken as a whole.

and only approximately 16% of reforms candidates are female.
