To start to think reform will be voted in next time, and they will be running the country

[Whatdoyouthinktothis]

I’ve been a life long labour voter, but I’m starting to think reform will be elected next time
mainly just due to so many criminals that want to harm us being allowed in and allowed to stay
and uncontrolled immigration

I think they are going to win it on this reason alone
every single day there’s a news story usually more than one someone’s been raped by one of these criminals one the other day even said he didn’t understand what rape is and he thought rape was just sex

what do you all think ?
Will reform be running the country soon ?
if they are are the capable of running things in other areas ?
if they take over how do you see that actually panning out ?

@CitizenZ totally agree - shitheads go across all ages and ethnicity and yet the media tend to play down this aspect - most
paedophiles in the nick as an example are white British born -same with incest

1. I hope they don’t win the next GE
2. judging how they’ve run my local council that they took control of last year, heaven help us all if they do

Kent county council has been a shit show since Reform took control. God help us if they they get elected on a national level.

The majority of those policies are meaningless, undesirable or complete nonsense (where they aren’t impossible) so I disagree with them, yes.

How do you know? Have you got inside information? Have you extensive information also about his much crime by poc usnt reported in the news? Or are you just spouting what you’d like to think and hoping the gullible will believe you ?

Oh, dismissive as well as misleading whilst opinionated. Credibility had she none.

I know two people who work in Reform led councils. It's mayhem in both.

A marker of what we can expect if they got into national power.

Obviously, many who vote for them won't be checking into detail like organisation and financial management and what they're doing to councils.

1. - stop the boats - on every manifesto I expect - approaches to doing so will vary - I’ll vote for stopping them through introducing more routes but, I think Reform voters want them shooting more or less - I know Farage wouldn’t do that as he couldn’t- neither could he ‘stop them boats’
2. As above
3. Illegal migrants can be removed now and always could be - this is not new - and Nige will not get more removed than anyone else
4. Scrap ILR - against this massively - why stop people feeling settled and at home?
5. Don’t even get this - we have sovereignty- they probably mean set light to everything that gives us any rights or international standing - I’m not burning my rights as someone wants a foreigner deported
6. Ridiculous - That’s a wish/policy of all parties - how they plan to do this would be interesting to know.
7. Work pays now - benefits are to be heavily slashed then - it may need an overhaul but I don’t want to live in a country vilifying the vulnerable and watching even more lose their home and dignity ta.
8. Very much against scrapping net zero
9. I can agree with supporting farmers - not sure which party doesn’t though - need to know the how’s.
10. Manufacturing - another fantasy land like brexit was - times are moving on
11. Business ah yes - big business support is Reform’s prima facie raisin d’etre and if you can get some investment from small ones - cash incoming!
12. Dog whistle - no I don’t agree with it - I abhor it
13. They all want this - how will he do it - but of sunlit uplands again
14. Wow - women in kitchen syndrome - tax breaks for breeding - ugh
15. Dog whistle
16. Dog whistle
17. Well who doesn’t - what does ‘embrace future technologies’ even mean?
18. Dog whistle ish but a poor move for international relations and support for countries in trouble - might even help those pesky migrants stay home - inconsistent too then
19. Yeah - that seems random but also I think they’re leaning to a political CS - very bad idea.

Anyway - thanks for posting these - never read a policies list from any other party where I disagree on so much - also not got to the how of implementing these!

1. that won’t happen…they said it would with brexit and it didn’t so why would it work with reform in charge
2. see number 1
3. illegals migrants? You mean asylum seekers, refugees - won’t happen again
4. again they won’t scrap ILR as it means some of their supporters and fans won’t be allowed to be here and they don’t want that
5. we already have British sovereignty
6. from who? Those who aren’t white? I certainly don’t feel safe around reform supporters who are predominantly white men who beat women up (sorry the truth hurts)
7. make work pay for the rich - they don’t give a shit about anyone who isn’t rich
8. yeah let’s fuck the world up even more to make them richer
9. blame people like Clarkson who did everything they could to avoid paying their taxes - also they won’t
10. and how will that work? and again won’t happen
11. again how? Without screwing the rest of the population over to pander to rich business people
12. British culture and traditions are already defended and seen every single day
13. they won’t as Farage won’t want to upset Putin
14. oh they’ll do that by making it impossible for women to work and force them to stay at home even in domestic abuse situations (is that what you truly want?)
15. British workers? Or white people? We all know what they mean
16. again to the detriment of the population by ensuring less tax is raised
17. erm no they wont
18. we already contribute less than other countries but can’t wait for us to need it and everyone goes nah mate and people like you and reform crying
19. lean? By increasing unemployment rates and sacking 1000s of people you mean…yeah a really good way to put N.15 in to action

you are incredibly naive and deluded if you think that a) this will happen and b) this will work. so yes I don’t agree because I know full well this won’t happen as unlike you I don’t believe in fantasy and aren’t deluded and naive.

I think the Reform councillor for my ward is fake - no social media presence, no policies, no contact information - just a name and a photo. I have tried searching the name but he doesn’t exist apart from on the “who to vote for” website. I look forward to seeing how he will run our council!

Well the greens are way, way, way too crazy for me and the Labour party seem to be determined to ruin themselves. I wish there was a better alternative to both of these.

Farage can’t even be bothered to be interviewed on TV on a political show this morning. He’s an absolute grifter!

A Yougov poll carried out on October 20th 2025 found 13 percent of 18-24 years olds say they support Reform UK. I don't know how to link but it's on YouTube LTDR news.

100% Reform will be our next government. Labour are failing to address the huge immigration issue, Tories failed no better. Green party are unhinged and delusional, leaves folk with little choice.

I like Kemi, but tories have a recent poor track record.

Both immigration in general and the arrival of small boats are down. How are Labour failing on this?

My quick thoughts on those policies

The boat people often claim asylum so aren’t illegal. There definitely needs to be changes made to this system because it’s not rocket science that not being able to work will increase the likelihood of antisocial and criminal behaviour.

What does restore Britain’s sovereignty mean? Didn’t Brexit restore sovereignty? How does this tie in with Scottish independence?

Supporting farmers - does this include not allowing lower welfare food from places like the US?

Most importantly, have they said that British does not mean white Anglo Saxon and that Brits can be black, Asian and other races? I’ve seen those views on social media where white people demand the immigration status of random Hispanic people that they meet or they report non-white people to
ICE. If they stand for being proud of Britain then it can’t be limited to white Anglo Saxons because he have great Brits who aren’t white too.

Is there acknowledgement of the “good” immigrants? Eg the ones who help keep the NHS going? How can Britain be the best place to start a business if we don’t welcome immigrants to
come and start them?

In this day of the internet and complex International company structures, what is a British business? We should be welcoming foreign companies that want to invest in Britain eg Nissan and Aldi

The encouraging babies bit made me laugh. Are they honest and admit that they don’t include women on benefits, disability, single etc?

Many of us are aware of how our towns have changed in the last few years and how very different they now feel. In my local town here in SW Scotland things have changed, there are now streets in the town centre no woman would dare to walk down in broad daylight. I have never bothered where i have walked in the town but now it is a different story. It is not groups of white men that are harassing women on those streets, it is not groups of white men that surround the young girls and ask for sex so please give up with the but but buts and address the issue.

If Reform do win the next GE, the inevitable question will be - why did they win?

What is a decent choice? Because from where I'm sitting none of them look great

Can't see Reform getting in, but can see the votes being split and low turnout through apathy. Restore are taking some Reform who feel Reform is becoming the new Conservatives. People are weary of the whole political scene. Politicians are regarded as primarily corrupt, self interested and untrustworthy. Successive governments have done nothing to dispel this view.
Immigration is a deflection but it is also an issue. Mainstream and social Media stoking people's views in a way that previous generations didn't see.
Seeing incomers getting a piece of the pie that they feel would be a bigger piece for them without incomers will feed resentment.

We know perfectly well that we have homegrown criminals, but willingly accepting more is insane. Remove them, make more room for homegrown ones! Overall lower numbers making lives miserable.

If they did do well its because it's people at the bottom of lifes pile who get adversely effected, but they are less likely to research voting policies, and they rely on social media. Algorithms feed the rhetoric, social media may make those who wouldn't even bother voting normally vote as they believe the social media version.

Just look at the numbers who believe AI clickbait crap is real!

Yes, this. We will be watching those who voted this way complaining they didn’t know the NHS would be dismantled and that Farage wanted to move to an insurance based system etc.

Ive become one of those homeless voters who is a dyed in the wool conservative although always very much to the right. I see no point in voting Tory so I already voted Reform by post. I agree with their policies on immigration and getting rid of all this bloody woke nonsense. Some of their policies I strongly disagree with. I have never voted Labour in my life.

We know we have plenty of home grown criminals - why are we importing more? And when they do commit crimes why can’t we deport them. The stuff on the high streets, the number of hotel rapes and murders, the antisemites running around, 2 tier policing, the loony greens and men can be women and on and on. Is it any wonder people want a massive change?

A shame to see a “life-long Labour voter” fall so easily for misleading propaganda and then perpetuating it. Read up on the reality of crime and immigration.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/aug/05/disputed-or-debunked-claims-about-migration-and-crime-uk

I assume you know that “small boats,” blamed by Reform and others, account for only 6,416 immigrants from January to April, but the Tories and now Labour are letting in roughly 898K LEGAL migrants every year. Of course, most of those make up for the 693K who leave each year; it’s fucking astonishing that a country of 60 million people only has 205K net immigration per year. The UK’s birth rate is just barely replacing its death rate, so if you close off immigration, you’re going to have to use AI to make more people.

If people keep leaving at the same rate, and you don’t let any in at all, your country will be empty in less than a hundred years (86ish years). So… which is it? If you’re against crime caused by migrants, I have good news - there’s no “crime wave” outside of public hysteria and Facebook, so you can safely vote for whoever you want. Don’t let fear and propaganda cast your vote for you. If you want to support Reform, support them - everyone has that choice. I think everyone should privately vote their own conscience. I just don’t recommend supporting anything based on lies, though of course, I know all political parties lie.

You ignore the qualitative vs quantitative argument i.e. you are not replacing like for like, in the net numbers.
