To vote for Jeremy Corbyn’s new party over Reform

[Bunion8]

Just wondering how people here are feeling politically these days — especially those who are disillusioned Starmer and the Tories.

With Reform UK gaining momentum and Jeremy Corbyn & Zarah Sultana launching a new left-wing party I’m curious:
If you had to choose between the two, which would you be more likely to vote for — and why?

I know they’re obviously very different politically, but both seem to be tapping into dissatisfaction with the status quo. Reform appeals to those who feel let down by immigration policy, the economy and ‘woke’ culture, while Corbyn’s party is focused on wealth inequality, public ownership, Gaza, and climate justice.

Would love to hear where people stand — especially if you don’t usually vote, or have changed political allegiances recently.

YABU - Vote Reform
YANBU - Vote JC

I'm in a LibDem/Tory area so I'd vote LibDem again. I think Reform would scupper the Tories chance here but you never know.
I'm left wing but I wouldn't like Corbyn as PM - I'd take him 100 times over Farage though.

That's how I feel.

I apologise, It probably speaks to my own leanings. I’d edit the post but I’m not sure how.

I recognise that Reform should be credited for their vision of a low tax, pro- corporate future, for Farages clarity and consistency and support of free speech. (What else am I missing?)

1000%

party for the every day person

This. I wouldn't vote for either of these third-rate fools.

Yes! No confidence is being inspired… sad state of affairs.

Corbyn. Would be tempted to anyway, never mind against reform.

I would rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon than vite reform.

Reform all the way for me. We've already had a party that was lead by Corbyn it was awful. Reform will make the changes we need to bring the state spending under control and reduce taxes. They will stop the import of cheap labour and get the Brits back to work. The UK needs to go back to being the industrial powerhouse it once was rather than the land of the snowflakes as it is now known.

Reform is yet another boomer pensioner welfare grift party but still better than Gaza/climate omnicause nonsense.

I've not had a chance to look at them in detail yet.

However, I will definitely not choose Reform, I am amazed by just how many people are willing to be taken in by Nigel Farage and his crew. He's a proven liar and some people want more, it's like returning to a cheating, lying husband.

I wish the laugh emoji was still available! This is hilarious!

I tend to agree with this. My thinking at the time was that he was fairly elected by the party and therefore as a Labour supporter I backed him (so to speak). He was a shit leader, fucked the whole country over with his approach to Brexit, is friends with Hamas, wants to bring back the 1970s, and is all in all a waste of space.

Farage OTOH is actively malevolent.

Hopefully the workshy will be laughing on the other side of their faces when they get what is coming to them. As a country we do not need to handing out sweeties to everyone - we're become the benefits cease pit of the world.

Don't edit it - I think whether you see things like "immigration" or "Gaza" as positives or negatives is half the answer to your question!

None of the above. Magic Grandpa and Poundshop Trump are both incompetent self-regarding twats and they can both fuck off.

But Farage won't do any of that anyway. He'll just filter some money off to him and his mates on the way to privatising the NHS.

Considering Farage has the worst attendance and participation rate of any MP, was worse as an MEP, and James McMurdock has lost the whip and been suspended over potentially fraudulent loans, and Daniel Taylor, who was suspended from the party for threatening to kill his wife, which part exactly of their conduct so far are you excited by….? 🤨

Same here. We will all (apart from wealthy white people) be in a terrible mess if Farage ever gets in power. I think the OP was very generous in their assessment of him.

The workshy? There are considerably more people looking for work than there are jobs available. I don't think Reform have a magic wand that will fix that, and it's a problem that will only get worse as AI is increasingly used by companies to save money by reducing the numbers they need to employ.

Of course they will. Reform is the only option at the next election - anyone is a vote for the continuation of the decline of the UK. Hopefully labour won't have created so many more benefit scroungers by then that there will be no one left to vote for sense.

The magic wand will be stopping and removing the immigrants doing the jobs.

You talk about the workshy - are you aware that Farage is the worst performing MP in terms of his attendance, voting rate, speaking rate, holds no in person clinics in Clacton and in fact has been there less than a dozen times, and has only ever mentioned his supposed constituency 4 times in parliament? He’s about as workshy as they come.

Ooooooo I get it I love this game!

Would you rather have a face for a butt or a butt for a face?

Would you rather run naked through spiders or nettles?

Just no!

Regarding us becoming an industrial powerhouse again. You need industries for that. They've mostly been killed off causing mass unemployment and post industrial decline in many areas. The amount of money needed to revive the UK as an industrial anything would be huge.
