AIBU to vote reform

[MeadowL]

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

The whole point of democracy is that you choose who to vote for and you can make that choice for any reason you want.

What your friend, family or people on internet forums you visit think you should vote for is neither here nor there. Note: I’m not telling you my voting intentions, questioning your reasoning behind your voting intentions or moralising about different political parties. I’m not even adding those things as a caveat after my first sentence. You get one vote. It is yours and yours alone.

Another one confusing asylum seeking with immigration. They aren’t interchangeable terms and asylum seekers are a tiny fraction of those migrating to the U.K. This means all your points are meaningless, really.

No way!!

I thought the evidence was that the BEEB had given more coverage to the extreme right than was warranted by their size and expectations?

Facts never matter to sone people thought just their feelings

Definitely not all Nigel Farage goes on about is immigration. On one of the TV debates he brought up housing then brought up immigration as well. I can't stand him they have no seats in parliament for a reason. They would be shit running a country.

Goady bollocks that should be in the election section
I will be so glad when this shit is over

You know they are in hotels because Tories have deliberately all but halted asylum hearings/investigations to create a wedge issue? If they were assessed those who were found genuine could work and contribute and those who weren’t could be removed. Tories made this problem. Do you think these people want t9 live in these hotels, stuck with no opportunities?

Best post ever!

The BBC being called an ultra left wing organisation is hilarious 😂

If you think the BBC is an ultra left wing organisation, you are either very dim or verging on fascist yourself. What ultra left wing broadcaster employs right wingers like Nick Robinson and Laura Kuenssberg on prominent political programmes? What left wing broadcaster televises every royal event, has a prayer for the day, shows C of E church services, to say nothing of programmes like Antiques Roadshow, Gardeners' World, Strictly, Masterchef, Escape to the Country, to say nothing of all those capitalist quiz shows offering money prizes?

To be honest I don't think Reform believe they will win this election, Farage has already said that Labour are going to win, but they could end up as the opposition, and I think they are looking to 5 years from now.

Yes, I'm voting reform. I was going to vote Labour but not anymore.

Vote for who you want - I won’t be voting for them.

It’s democracy and you should vote for who represents your interests and your views. Everyone should vote for the party they align with, and don’t let anyone bully you otherwise.

Reform can't win, but enough votes make a pathway for Farage to join the Tories and become leader of the Opposition.

Farage is not a million miles off Hitler.

Maybe the Reform candidates who want to shoot people for being the wrong colour?

And what did you think about losing the Equality act which will erode protection of women’s pay and opportunities in the workplace ?

And if you ever get incapacitated you’ll be forced into low-paid unskilled work after two offers, and there will be absolutely no recourse because the impartial court which protects us all will no longer be available.

And your healthcare will be privatised and for profit and literally extortionate, so you will become enslaved to that terrible job to cover the outrageous costs of basic care.

And isolationist policies like leaving ECHR and WHO (even North Korea is a member) further weaken the UK internationally. If I were Mr Vladimir Putin I would be very happy to see Britain torn away from alliances like the weakest gazelle.

The borders thing is such bollocks. They could fix it now if they wanted to through closer partnerships with Europe, but it’s a useful wedge issue they use to get carte-blanche on eroding your rights.

Mad to think you believe this is a good idea. It’s fundamentally anti-British but packaged up and sold to you as a “great patriotic revolt”.

I’d be totally astonished if they were the opposition. Most reputable polls suggest about 3 seats. There’s the odd outlier, but it would be truly astonishing if that proved to be the outcome. Farage doesn’t even want to win. He’s a disruptor. He doesn’t do hard work - look at his record when he was an MEP. He initially said he wouldn’t stand in Clacton because ‘who wants to spend every Friday in Clacton for 5 years?’ He’s vile in all ways.

Do you believe that the people coming over in small boats are asylum seekers?

The leaflet through our door says they want to turn around boats in the Channel and send them back to France. People- children- drown on those boats. The premise that they get rescued if we find them is the bare minimum of civilized people surely. I feel like anyone choosing Reform must be quite hateful sorry.

What, you mean we shouldn’t believe their own manifesto and the words that come out of Farage’s mouth?

Have you actually looked at the Reform manifesto, let alone read it all the way through? You don't have to look at any videos to work out that it would cost billions of pounds to deliver. If they were in power we would have soaring inflation and bills within weeks, and would be bankrupt within 6 months.

@Beefandwine apart from the immigration stuff, which policies are you keen on?

sorry quoted wrong person

Why would you vote for a limited company that is owned by a few people. What makes you the they give a toss about you.
I've actually met Farage and found him arrogant and condescending to the women present.
