Voting for Reform

[Behappyandbehave]

Would this be such a bad idea? I hate labour and tories. But I don't know enough about Reform.

But it is. Definitely up there in the top three.

This ☝️ as a law graduate and solicitor. I couldn't in good conscience vote away our sovereignty.

I will be voting Reform in this election. 🗳

You obviously didn't learn very much then...

Sneery response. ’hate foreigners’ is not the same as controlled immigration.

Unfortunately, it pretty much always is...

Nothing "sneery" about calling a spade a spade.

Achieving zero net migration, which is what Reform want, means inflicting suffering on the millions of British people who can't have their loved ones live with them, or postgraduate students who have to leave the country if they want to be with their children. It means anxiety for thousands of elderly West Indians who worry about being deported to a country they haven't seen in fifty years. Supporting a hostile environment, deportations, ever ratcheting visa costs, or quotas is to support the suffering of people on the basis that they were born somewhere other than here even when they have a close connection to this place (or have lived here many years).

For those of us with foreigners as friends, family and neighbours, or who were born abroad and now call the UK our home, Reform isn't the right choice.

Anyone voting for Reform is clearly lacking in brains or morals, probably both.

I'm not voting Reform tbh, however I know who's posing the biggest threat to national security......

Our current birth rate is so low that we should be encouraging immigration or they’ll be nobody to pay for our elders.

Many of these foreign EU students agree to pay student loans back but don't. Instead they go back to their own countries and never repay the UK. Students in the UK who earn above a set amount have money taken from their pay to repay their debt. EU students who study in the UK don't.

Why on earth do you think they would be getting student loans? This is absolute bullshit!

They pay an exorbitant amount to come and study here, and what they pay subsidises our own students to go and study.

This is honestly such ignorant bullshit!

We need people, our birth rate is too low, understandably because our childcare is too expensive. Government should be encouraging people to have more kids if anything. they’ll be nobody to pay for generation x, y. The housing shortage is due to landlords exiting the market so supply has plummeted. They’re supposed to build 300,000 homes per year but planning and red tape slows things down.

Keep right on sneering

This kind of sneering won't do anything to disuade people who may be inclined to vote for them.

It's like brexit all over again

No, but neither will facts. They will vote whatever racist way they want to, but hopefully more sensible people will realise and actually use their brains...

Yes. I've voted Tory, Labour and Green in the past but Reform will get my vote this time. And no, I don't live in Folkestone- I'm a fully paid up chattering north London type, thank you.

It's difficult to deal with some people without being dragged down to their level.

They're 100% convinced that they're correct. It's actually quite sad to encounter.

I am voting for them as a protest vote. I am more aligned to the Conservatives and was tempted by labour but their stance on women's rights is worrisome.

Yep, me too.

"If you are an international non-EU student, it's unlikely you will be able to get a student loan from the UK Government. Some universities will create their own student loan schemes for talented students from low-income backgrounds, including non-EU students."

Great news, splitting the right wing vote should help Labour

Farage in 2016 mostly appealed to the racists who thought they would get rid of immigrants. All that happened was degree educated professionals mostly white from Europe had to go back. Countries like Poland did well out of it as they needed the workers.
All immigrants with money will just leave if racism escalates.

A vote for reform is a vote is a vote for a sheep in wolfs clothing. It’s about reform taking over the Tory party for their own means.
