Hello @Czerwonitz
I’d love to know what Labour are doing, that is so beneficial to me, I should not want to vote Reform?
I am a higher earner. Practicing Roman Catholic. One adult child. Diesel driver. Married female, who believes in biology, and has private heath care. And spends a significant amount of the year in America, with a real love of the Deep South.
On the other hand, Reform have aspirational policies to raise the lower and higher tax free personal allowance; remove inheritance tax on estates worth less than 2 million (my parents is worth 1.6 million); I also want to leave all my money to my child; and Reform wish to lower immigration and overall welfare bill.
I realise the argument will be that I’m selfish and it’s not just about me; I should morally want to support many other people as well as my own family; I should want to prop up a nice society for everyone to live in…but the reality is I loathe working and would like to not have to work. Yet I have to work because I have things to pay for and a standard of living to try to maintain and frankly, I’m pissed at having to maintain other people’s standard of living too. Especially when Labour just keep growing the welfare bill through low skill immigration and failure to force people into work and I see no improvement in society as a whole; just continuous decay including a crappy NHS; pothole filled roads; bins now collected every three weeks; rubbish everywhere; a breakdown in society as a whole; less respect for the sanctity of marriage and the family etc etc etc and even my family who have worked every hour in Gods day for years and years, are feeling the pinch.
So am I actually stupid? Maybe Reform won’t deliver…but I don’t know that yet. I do know Labour isn’t delivering for me. The Greens would be a shit show for me (and probably everyone the truth be told). The Conservatives were useless, so why not take a punt on the party whose policies align mostly with my beliefs.
If it turns out they have lied, which it might, then I will consign them to the ‘useless bullshitters’ bin along with all the other parties. But I’m willing to vote to see.
So once again…why should I vote the other parties?
