Are you now more likely to vote for REFORM (the party)

[Decisiondecisions]

NC for this and apologies if Q already asked. My quick search yielded no result.

Reform plan to undo the reversal of 2 child cap benefit. Are you now likely (or more likely) to vote for them? There have been endless threads about the welfare bill.

I think they’ll do a better job than Labour, I think they’ll do a much much better job than Labour on the economy.
The below is a bit crazy and paranoid if you don’t mind me saying, are you suggesting they’d give away British territory and then what? pay billions each year to who they gave the territory to? Sounds a bit far fetched.

, but not psychopaths who'll sell whats left of the country to the highest bidder (US, Russia, China, or a bit to all three).

I'd sooner eat out of date seafood.

Putting a cap on child benefits seems perfectly reasonable to me. Why is it so outrageous to say "look, you have now raised two children at the taxpayers expense. If you have a third, we are not prepared to pay for it." I don't mind so much when the claimant is a good parent raising polite, civilized, hard-working kids. But when they raise ignorant, vicious, foul-mannered kids, I draw the line.

Actually, instead of a blanket cap, it ought to be linked to behaviour, both of the parent and the child. People with a tack record of abuse and neglect should be discouraged from having more children. But parents whose kids consistently misbehave – stealing, dealing drugs, disrupting lessons at school, should also have their benefits cut.

Not every claimant is a poor Dickensian waif. Vicky Pollard was a popular character because everybody new someone like her.

l would vote Reform for a million quid. Then I would apply to live in New Zealand.

Agree. I abhor Farage but I hate Philipson, Angie, Rachel and Starmer even more.
I do like Kemi however all of what says lead me to think that they had 14 years to implement it and they didn’t. Anyway, I’ve been politically homeless since Brexit so I won’t rule anything out.

Laughable

ok then , who are you voting for.

Not a chance! But then Trump was voted in for a second term so in politics madness often wins, so who know.

I'd rather be flayed alive than vote for Nigel and his Tory chums.

I'm astounded by anyone who says they're a reliable prospect. You just voted to get rid of half of that lot when they were part of the Tory party.

Turkeys voting for Christmas.

No intention of voting for Reform.

The whole anti trans stance on here is tedious in the extreme.

There are far more important, real life altering issues at steak which far outweigh some women’s need to continue to harp on about “trans”. And frankly it makes them look unhinged.

I think the economy, education, the NHS, unemployment, SEN education, and the list goes on far exceeds people’s objections to having to use a toilet cubicle next to a trans woman.

Just checking I’ve understood this, you are saying the people who don’t think men can grow a cervix appear unhinged?

Agreed.

And then shit in my hand and clap.

Abso-fucking-lutely not.

It will be a cold day in hell before I vote Reform.

Being for sex based rights and spaces for women is not 'anti-trans' unless you are admitting that being pro-trans is anti-women.

It's about males in communal female spaces where women and girls are in a state of undress. Women and girls are affected by this, and it's unhinged to deny it's a real issue. Every woman has to use a toilet. Or change room. Males in female spaces affects far more women (and girls) than those things you listed. If we had your way we'd never talk about the issue because none of the issues you list are really ever going to be eradicated. Google the Urinary Leash. Women could not even participate in society (well at least only as far as their bladder could hold) before female only toilets came in. Forget work! If women don't have our own toilets we can't work!

There are girls who stay home from school when on their period because in their gender neutral toilets with the boys in the cubicles next to them, they have no private place to change their pads. Rattle of the plastic makes the boys giggle. Girls are losing time at school, over a basic hygiene and sanitary issue! Women are not drinking during the day and restricting fluids so they don't have to use the toilets at work, and getting UTIs and you can die from sepsis. A few on this board have said this about themselves. Don't you see? If women self-exclude from participating in society, the economy collapses anyway. There is no greater issue than this.

No it's not a good use of money but still a better use of money than spending £500k compensating 70 illegal migrants for the unlawful seizure of their mobile phones don't you think?

I’m a vegetarian so I’ll pass on the insects of any kind.

I think we can all agree that women's spaces are important and should be preserved.
Where we don't agree is that there are many of us who don't believe this to be the biggest single issue that derails a lot of threads.
To quote Keir Starmer - we get it. We just think a functioning NHS, economy and society are more important.

Not a chance in hell.

Aren’t Labour doing this anyway? I’d rather vote for Larry the cat.

No. For many reasons. They still have to go through the learning curve of scrutiny of policies and whether they can all stick together. Spoiler alert…they won’t.

This awful government has to go but my vote is not for Reform.

Never

The party that will undo 30 years of environmental protection and get rid of the equality act? The ones who have all the failed Tories in it? The one with the leader who barely turned up for work when he was MEP and hasn’t been seen in his own constituency now he’s finally been elected as a constituency MP after years of not being able to achieve that? Er no. I wouldn’t vote for them for a million pounds.

Yep, very icky that several posters (on this thread and others) only seem to care about white rape victims
