Voting for Reform.the north/south

[Jollyjupiter]

As a proud Northerner i can say 80 per cent of my peer group will vote for Reform in May. Do you think it will be a North v South split?

Next time someone tells you, would you ask then why? And if they can reply in more than a sentence and they talk about any of the multitude of issues that matter in governing a country aside from immigration, would you mind posting a summary? Because everyone knows everyone is voting Reform, is of less interest than why. I feel there must be something 'everyone' may be aware of that I'm not.

For Most of them immigration is the big issue. They do not want our town to become like certain parts of London and places like Bradford etc.

Everything else is secondary.

These are their views as you asked. Not mine

Yes, that resonates with my experience of Reform voters too. Its 'stop the boats' and that's it. Very worrying really as many of the people saying this are those who will suffer most from a Reform government. People on benefits, people highly dependent on the NHS or more likely to be, who don't seem aware of the rest of the package that comes with Reform and how it will make their day to day lives worse.

It's strange how the Labour Party, the supposed worker's party has inadvertently, become one of the strongest advocates for increased competition for jobs...

If we look at the most pessimistic views of the future from both sides. The far left believe reform will sell the nhs and turn the uk into a mini USA. The far right believe labour/greens will allow unlimited immigration until the uk becomes a mini Pakistan.

Unless you are male and Muslim you’d probably prefer to live in the USA.

Again not my views just explaining how many of them seem to think. They are thinking long term but prioritising different things.

This isn’t a poor town we’re far south and most of these people have jobs.

‘Unless you are male and Muslim you’d probably prefer to live in the USA.’

Omg! Do people really think this? Under Trump?

I meant if you had to choose between the USA or Pakistan.

Speak for yourself but as a woman I’d be in Florida.

You mean rather than the Uk?
why?

And why on earth Florida ?

No? Where did I say that? Literally said rather than Pakistan. Read my last two posts

Ok, responded too quick, so you mean uk as ‘mini Pakistan’ and that’s what people prefer the US too. Presumably because people are so scared by levels of immigration(or just quite racist)? And why pick on Pakistan in particular?

Anyway not my views I was just explaining the reasons people I know are voting reform

It’s strange that people who don’t want their town to become like London vote reform but people who actually live in London do not vote reform. Does not make sense at all.

I guess it depends what part of London you live in. There are some wonderful pockets of London. Then there are the hellscape parts of London which is what people mean when they say they don’t want their town to become like London.

Plus a large percentage of the London population are immigrants so why would they vote a party who base so much of their rhetoric around being anti immigration

Londoners from all ethnic backgrounds including white Londoners are often more than happy to live in areas which are significantly or predominantly Black, Asian or Latino for example.

They typically don’t want London to become more like the predominantly white towns outside of London that have scarcely any cultural diversity.

The ones who do have a problem usually scarper from London. I remember once in Glasgow this awful guy chatting me up in and saying he recently moved back from London as his area was full of Turkish and other immigrants. I was like ew no you can’t get my number 🤣

Have you not noticed the state of the country!??

I think Labour supporters should be deported!

You’d miss our tax.

Finally, someone with a brain!!👍

I think most people have and voting is next week for many.

Waiting lists are not down, I work for the NHS. Which economy is growing? certainly not ours. You obviously believe the constant lies that come out of TTK's mouth.

Well said, spot on!

Please read the Green's policies before you vote, they are not the Green party of the past.

You must be either lucky or live in a part of the country where services are better. I have been on a waiting list to see an ENT specialist for a year now.

Farage has not said that about the NHS. Read his policy on it. He wants if free for all but people can pay into an insurance system if they want.
