If reform won the next election I couldn't bear living here but thanks to farage there's nowhere to go

Denigrating awful trumpy nonsense

Maybe Ireland would take me in

I think they get enough taxes. They just waste it. Look at the debt interest we pay annually.

They need someone in government who can do basic maths. Target the debt first and don't be wasting money

they stand a good chance of winning.

Are you talking about Labour? I can’t begin to fathom how you’ve arrived at this conclusion.

Calling people fascists then walking away does not have the power it once did.

in fact people like you are devaluing the word so it’s almost meaningless

if you think any part of Reforms manifesto is fascistic, tell us which part and why?

I could make a very good case for Labours actions, getting rid of jury trials, policing speach and criticism of the state as far closer (though still not at all fascistic) than Reforms…

Because the Tories are out for a generation, the Greens unlimited immigration will sink them, Reform are an opposition party, who’s left?

It doesn’t mean people will want Labour again after this term. They are showing it with votes already.

There are plenty of shire seats that will stay true blue for another generation and - Reform are in front of a lot in front. They’re going to win the next election especially on a Tory-restore-reform coalition.

I’m not sure what you mean by Reform being an opposition party, they are the clear favourites to win. Labour are behind the Tories in voting intention opinion polls and thats before Labour’s tax rises really begin to bite in unemployment.

• Reform UK: 23%
• Conservative: 19%
• Green: 19%
• Labour: 17%
• Liberal Democrat: 14%

The Welsh majority also voted Leave. Fyi.

And why do you think so few Britons speak another language? First, because it’s not valued in our society; but recently, more tellingly, because Michael Gove (a Brexiter) included in his reforms to the school curriculum measures explicitly to downgrade languages in state schools

I remember Michael Gove trying to increase participation in language study with the introduction of the Ebacc. Clearly, the dramatic decline in the number of pupils taking modern foreign languages at GCSE occurred under Labour - after language GCSEs became optional from 2004 (see the chart in the link). There was an uptick when Gove was education secretary;

Also -
Learning a foreign language will be compulsory from age seven in England's primary schools in an overhaul of the national curriculum, [Michael Gove] the education secretary is to announce;

Reform candidates are mostly a shower of shite though.
Hopefully that will show through.

No, not at all.
I wasn’t being political or trying to make some nationalistic point.
Did you think I was?

I’ve given the correct names as they are officially.

People in the UK often say Southern Ireland instead of Ireland (aka ROI).
It’s understandable because of the analogy with Northern Ireland, but it’s just wrong and can be a bit annoying. Partly because the most northerly point on the island is in the republic, not in NI.
Mostly because it’s the wrong name.
How would you like it if the country next door rechristened England as, say, Western England and people kept saying things like they were going for their holidays in Norfolk in Western England? 😅

It is all very well leading the opinion polls, but actual, viable candidates for the electorate to vote for are needed. Reform is struggling with that it seems.

www.onlondon.co.uk/reform-steps-up-search-for-borough-elections-candidates/

People don’t vote for candidates they vote for parties, in national elections even though technically we vote for the person. Won’t make any difference.

Of course it will make a difference if Reform can't find candidates to put on the ballot paper!

No named candidate for Reform on the ballot paper, no box to tick for Reform on the ballot paper. Even list systems have named candidates. Maybe you're not from the UK and don't understand this?

And it seems this is an issue for Reform. As well as them struggling in London, Reform hasn't announced a single candidate in Wales. It hasn't even announced where its Welsh leader will stand AFAIK. Probably because there is some doubt whether he actually lives in Wales.

Who is their competition? Ex tit whisperers, convicted terrorists, current labour mp’s? I don’t think it will be a major issue for Reform.

It will be if they can't actually find candidates.

Yes, that is true. I wonder if there will be a deal with the conservatives after all.

Ideas like taxing women who don't have children more?

How they want to abolish EDI and focus on merit? That's happening in the US. Fine for white straight men. Not so much the rest of us.

How they want to promote traditional marriage and marriage roles? Role on the 1950s.

How they want to restrict access to abortion? Fundamental pillar of women's rights.

They are not pro woman. Unless you want a 1950s lifestyle.

Like most right wingers, yes they know what a woman is. You can only press something you recognise. Their views on biological sex do not make them pro women.

Abolishing DEI I agree with.

I don't agree with what Goodwin said, I don't think it's reform's policy. I don't think they want to restrict abortion, it's politically unfeasible in the UK anyway. I think you can only want to restrict it if you are pro natalist as make it financially easy and affordable to have kids. Many people would say what about the baby's right to be born.

The Reform Party that you’ll reluctantly vote for is made up of the very same defected Conservative MPs that made such a monumental hash of “making decisions and fixing the country “ when the Tory’s were last in power .
You won’t be giving a new party the chance to change things , you’ll be giving the same losers that fucked us all over the opportunity to do it all again !

Yep, it's basically a rebrand, a really see through disguise.

I'm betting on a Conservative/Reform coalition. Reform will shake up the Conservatives with new ideas, the Conservatives will rein in some of Reform's untenable policies.

To be a junior partner in a coalition with Reform could be the final nail in the Conservative's coffin. Look what happened to the Lib Dems in 2015.

You are wrong and have made yourself looking a bit silly by your reaction.
It gave you the right to apply for jobs not the right to get a job. The context of my post was because OP said they won't give them a job in Ireland.
So maybe read what was written before you react in that way. That's half the problem. People assuming they know based on their wrong interpretation and then being insulting about it and calling other people daft.
