Scared about a poll I read where Reform wins outright in First Past the Post????

I guess we are years away from a General Election, but I am scared about the rise in populism and the seemingly popular Reform. I think it would be unthinkable to have Farage as our Prime Minister. I don't want a small state, private NHS, racist far right populist, Trumpist in charge of the country.

I know MN is generally fairly anti Reform, Brexit etc, but where are all these Reform voters. I don't know anyone personally who has admitted they would vote for them? Is it the all the disenfranchised young men?

It wouldn’t even touch the sides.

How many times. Illegal immigrants are not housed in hotels.

You could well be right.
Scrapping net zero would also contribute.

However, if you believe that climate change is real and poses an existential threat to our way of life, scrapping net zero and 'drill baby drill' are batshit policies that will cost us all far more than money.

Our net zero policies will have near to zero effect on the world's climate.

So we should just give up then and burn the planet to a crisp? Personally it doesn’t really matter because I’ll die soon anyway but I do care about future generations. And, of course the more uninhabitable regions close to the Equator become, the more migrants there will be to more temporate zones. So there is that.

MN is definitely not far right, centre to beginning to lean slightly right of centre, maybe.

Also, why don't you ask yourself why this shift actually happened? You say this happened over the last 15 years to so, so what in your opinion led to this change?

So we shouldn't even try to do the right thing? Do you drop litter in a place where other people have dropped litter because why the hell not?

Boiling frog syndrome. It all started with Cameron’s government.

What started?

No, obviously not. I live my life in ways that I hope are good for the environment. Recycle, walk and public transport as much as I can, mend rather than buy new, etc.
But the net zero policies will bankrupt this country for no good reason, because countries such as China, India and America are pumping out far more CO2 that our net zero policies could ever make a dent in.

But as far as I'm concerned, Reform voters are bad if they actually understand what they're voting for.

A Reform government would be an absolute disaster for this country, and the responsibility would sit squarely with those who voted them in.

I accept that some will vote Reform without having the ability to fully understand the choice that they're making, and I wouldn't hold those people responsible.

You're right. Not many racists are willing to open admit to it.

Why are you walking, recycling and using public transport and recycling when it'll make fuck-all difference?

Thank you for sharing this. It’s exactly how I feel, as a silent reform voter.

Which of their policies attract you?

Are you seriously trying to link Camerons government to far right politics?

I have been on here for a very long time, sadly it is and I think the onslaught from the extreme right is probably working as I can't imagine being on MN much longer, it is too depressing. I contrast it to my real life and I only know one person that voted for Brexit so Reform's old ground and they regret it now and would vote to Remain.

What has changed is the sheer volume of posters - nothing more, nothing less than that.

Simplifying tax. Stopping interest payments on QE overnight payments. Stopping waste. Making work pay.

What do you think about them adding taxes to your amazon purchases so they can give tax breaks to business owners?

Don't be so absolutely bloody ignorant. Posts like yours show the highest level of utter brainwashed ignorance. Stop this now!!

Why do you find this so uncomfortable this year are you having doubts about your own beliefs?

To hear not 'this year' but could be to hear this year!

Read my well thought out post. Then see where you find racism in it ?
