Media request: has your political allegiance shifted to Reform?

[RhiannonEMumsnet]

Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

I'd like to speak to women from Mumsnet whose political allegiances have changed to Reform in recent times. Ideally they would be willing to be named and pictured (in a piece for the Telegraph). Please contact [email protected] if you are interested.

Nope.

do they want a selection of women who support other parties, for balance? If not, will they be making it clear it’s a just a one sided self-selected group and not representative of Mumsnet users?

Huh? Where all the Reform voting Mumsnetters at? You'd think given they post incessantly and are 1 in 5 of us, somebody would volunteer.🤔

Not a fucking chance. Just read an independent headline that we're all turning to reform. Followed by a comment that 20% of us are...

Christ No ! I'm not a psychopath .

Christ no, I might be politically homeless but I'd never vote for that shower. Rather stick my left tit in a mousetrap.

This is why I asked for actual sources, not speculation. All of this is alleged.

I wouldnt but I can see why other people probably feel backed into doing so.

I live in one of the counties that turned Reform. They are useless fools, voted for by people who as far as I can see have swallowed Farage’s false ‘man of the people’ schtick down whole and ignored the resultant eggy burps. I wasn’t a fan of the previous Conservative led council but at least we could see some growth, some optimism, some actual experience at work. If you want a drab, stagnant unpleasant place to live where flag shagging twats make the lampposts look untidily racist then go ahead, vote Reform.

Not really, because the immigrants to Russia are from completely different geographical regions, mostly from former Soviet republics in Central Asia.
The immigration 'problem' and anti-immigrant sentiment has flared up everywhere across Europe- but people are coming here because they want to, not because of Russia. Be so fr now as the kids say.

Also, to answer the original question, I've honestly considered it but I just can't and won't😬My husband and mum who have never voted in their life (note, my mum is an immigrant herself) are voting for Reform now.

Ditto.

I've just counted. 68 emphatic (angry, rude, insistent, determined, anti-fascist) NOs (out of 139 posts, a good 1/4 of which are an argument about an entirely different topic).

So probably nearer to 75% hell fucking no MN isn't voting Reform. Got that Jill Foster?

Er, no!

No. I wanted NHS to still exist.

Any "yes, me!"?

Hah. My immediate response was, 'Has it fuck!' and I don't usually swear on MN.

@RhiannonEMumsnet are you feeding this thread back to the Telegraph then? Or maybe the Times that published that crock of shite?

Me either. And I don't want to metaphorically self immolate.

I would urge your mum to look at what is happening to immigrants in the USA. Including the ones who fell for the lies and voted Trump.

Perhaps the Torygraph should write an article about how bots, bad actors and fake profiles are trying to manipulate popular social media forums in an attempt to sway public opinion…

But I suspect they won’t.

No. And also fuck off Telegraph

Abso-fucking-lutely not.
I’d rather slam my own fingers in a drawer than vote reform.

It’s giving me the ick even thinking about it.
