So much talk about Reform, are people panicking?

[equisetum]

All across the boards people appear to be scared of just how popular they are.
If it's not panic, then why the desperation to tell anyone voting for them, that they are all racists?
Reform voters BTW, just very interested that no other parry is having such animated discussions. If they weren't becoming so popular, nobody would be talking about it.

To be clear, I'm not worried about Reform winning anyhting, but I do think the fact that they're getting any traction or attention at all says some worrying things about our country.

Very doubtful. Would cause massive problems within the tory party. And would lose them alot of members. The far right of the tory party, altho very loud, are in fact a minority..
I'm not a tory by any means but whilst I think many tory politicians are only out for themselves I do not think the majority are complete lunatics.. they care about money. Reform are a party made up of gimmicks and dog whistles.. would be very hard to actually govern a country with. You'd see tonnes of tory politicians defecting to Labour..
I mean it's just very very unlikely to happen tbh

@Parrotcoop id love to believe that’s the case for all of them but I’m not so sure!

@Ivyrosecrayon its unlikely yes but certainly a possibility! They did it with the Lib Dem’s. We shall see!

im not sure who to vote for, they all seem crap to be honest.

Yes, any of the other parties would just say fuck it and carry on regardless.

It's not a move to the right it's a return to the centre.

It's almost as if they hadn't noticed before they signed up.

Because they represent a sea change and they’re very popular. The establishment is very very scared.

If you want a stop to end less boat men and endless men in drag in women’s places no one else is offering it.

inb4 they’re “racist” - check out their candidates. Probably one from every other race there is.

Correct,

Not worrying at all I m very pleased there’s a change in direction.

Mindless, and it doesn’t work anymore.

Yes, I am scared of how popular Reform are. I think it's a horrifying reminder of how many racists and bigots are out there in Britain today.

I'm not scared because they're going to win the election, because they're not. I'm not scared that they're telling some truth I can't handle, because they're not.

Saying that Reform are racist is just stating the obvious. I think it's probably important for the majority of people who are not racist to call out racism when they see it, and obviously there is a lot of it about at the moment.

I'm not scared, though, because I have faith that vast majority of British people are better than the average Reform voter, and while they might win a handful of seats, I reckon most of them will just crawl back under their rocks again once the election is done.

In the meantime, they're doing a great job of splitting the right wing vote, and that is immensely helpful. I'm really hoping that they can help to take out a few high profile Tories who will lose their seats to Labour and the Libdems.

You’re just making shit up. You have nothing to support what you’re saying.

I hope that happens and if it does then Nigel will be in No. 10 on Friday.

Brexit was never delivered and despite the lefty leaning propaganda those of us that voted for it are furious. You’ll never understand if you’re a remoaner.

No, that’s propaganda intended to change opinions. Everyone I know who voted leave are furious and we’re all voting Reform.

Hehe it's all scaremongering. Where have I heard that before....?

Yes. They’re incorrect and they just look like desperate ad hominem attacks - and that’s because they are desperate ad hominem attacks.

it’s too late for grown up conversations, you’ve called us all the names under the sun, and we’re voting Reform, and there are a lot of us. Very quiet, we don’t shout like the left do, but were everywhere. Everywhere you don’t see a “vote labour” or a “vote Tory” sign is a Reform voter.

see you on Friday!

I'm not interested in voting reform as immigration isn't a big priority for me (decreasing or increasing). I suspect the genius tactic of calling reform voters thick racists is probably counterproductive for anyone who wants to limit their influence though.

I dislike the racism but tbh I'm more concerned about their actual policies and the party set up than the unpolitically correct views.

Can you demonstrate that these polls are corrupt? Otherwise, 'they are facts which is likely to change opinions' is accurate.

Im a reform voter, I have an IQ of 156, and I’m married to a Dr.

Insulting me won’t work.

If you are voting for Reform you might as well vote for the BNP.

Anyone who admires Trump, Putin and Tate can't be right in the head

Can you demonstrate they’re not?

So being against racism is being 'politically correct' - or just 'not being a cunt'?

If you can put aside their racism then you condone their racism.
