It’s called tactical voting and at least it kept Reform out. What worries me more is that Reform voters lack critical thinking skills so that they are willing to forgo their employment rights, rights to bodily autonomy, maternity & paternity rights including leave and job protections, rights to equal pay, rights to an abortion, and are happy for single childless women to pay an additional tax for not having children (even if they physically can’t) and we go to a potentially ruinous private healthcare option. Reform policies impact women and disable people disproportionately. DEI isn’t just for the ethnic peoples it’s for all women and those who have protected characteristics under law. Reform also want to get rid of the two child cap so they can afford a 5p reduction in the price of a pint. Note they’re not making childless or feckless men pay additional tax or even their child support. But as long as they have a slightly cheaper pint.
Reform are happy to tell us who they are and what they are going to do if they get into power. Best believe it. One thing they won’t do is actually get rid of illegal migration entirely, because then who will they blame when the rich get even wealthier and the ignorant poor need someone to blame. They need their bogeyman and they will keep it.
