Just that really. I am a Labour voter, and I know what Labour policies I support. I think I know what Conservative and Lib Dem policies their supporters like. I don't know about Reform.

Thank goodness @PhilMitchell82 flounced and hasn’t returned

No one flounced miss silly.

fairyring25 · 10/05/2026 07:41

@Endorewitch I read the Lib Dem Manifesto yesterday and there isn't a single policy in it.
It is all generic statements that anyone would agree with e.g. who doesn't believe that everyone should make the most of their potential and have the freedom to live their lives? Their economic policy is "enabling people and businesses to thrive"-Who doesn't believe this? It absolute pap.
I am not a Reform voter but at least Reform has some actual policies e.g. cutting tax on workers.
@MsJinks I think that you are wrong about the far left-Unfortunately, many are/are becoming anti-semitic and it seems to be related to pro-Palestine marches. We absolutely need more integration but the far left are not supporting integration.

I think a lot of people would have voted reform as the best chance to keep the greens, who are dangerous, out.

Amy Challoner and her ilk mean Greens are one of the biggest threats women and children have faced in this country for a very long time. That any reasonably intelligent woman or caring intelligent man would vote Green is beyond belief for me. I will never vote Green and all those who did should hang their heads in shame.

I don’t sit with anti semitism at all - I don’t sit with one party either - and I will call out what I see as problematic too - you won’t agree here, but I dislike Labour’s immigration policies and I say so for example. Overall, for me, it’s about basic humanity - love not hate - not party politics although I do sit on the left.

As Starmer is bringing his own kids up as Jewish and Polanski is Jewish then I have more confidence in their general anti-semitism. I do see a lot more anti semitism when I go to counter protests against the right - I see Nazi salutes, I hear ‘Heil Hitler’ and I see self avowed Neo Nazis - far outweighs anything seen on the left side - it’s disturbing.

Whilst I’m here though - and 4th time to ask - disproportionate numbers of DA/SA offenders hanging around on the right - any comment?

So your one of those clueless lefties then who go to Palestine marches or hope not hate.

antisemitism is everywhere nowadays but mostly in one community. Unfortunately they perpututate their deep hate for Jews based on their religious differences from their book and Mohammed hatred for Jews.

i guess your talking about Mr Robinson.

it won’t let me post the link but you can search it up £700k been raised for the grooming gang report by Rupert Lowe. I would post the crowd funding page, the website for the report but it won’t let me so if you genuinely interested and as caring as you pretend to be then you have to search it up yourself.

was your wife
no doubt garnered a she’s load of support on mumsnet
left you
now happy and settled with new man and primary custody of the children

a happy ending

Lmao. Don’t talk about Kaffy like that. Ben is all grown up now. Louise is in Spain. Your kids must be “very very proud” to have a wonderful mum and a shining example like you. Instead of talking about politics you keep brining kaffy and Sharon and Ben and Louise into it.

I don’t need to search it up - as anyway I would rather do anything else than crowdfund this enquiry for the victims to be used (effectively abused) on the alter of Lowe’s abhorrent ideologies. As I said I am happy there is an official enquiry.

I don’t actually go on specifically Palestine marches no - as I don’t feel I know enough about the whole background to shout a view. I do counter protest the animals shouting abuse outside hotels yes - just so everyone having to hide in there knows that at least some of us in the U.K. do not want to burn them alive. I will March against fascists too until the day I die as I fear for my grandkids’ and their peers’ future.

However, today I am glad that you and I can have opinions and protest for our own beliefs - your party will work on removing that right - harder and faster than labour are!

Btw - you’re still not answering my question as to why the protestors/Tommy associates do have a disproportionately high amount of DA/SA records?

I think you’ll find Reform really are a massive threat to women and women’s rights. Are you not concerned about:
Removal of employment rights impacting women much more than men?
Loss of mat leave, carers leave?
Tax breaks so women can breed?
Tightening to removal of termination availability?

I appreciate you are passionately gender critical - that’s ok - though I do think focussing on this whilst all other biological women’s rights are burned is something to review.

Anyone who votes Labour or Green is absolutely clueless. Green leader has made many antisemitism comments. Labour have emboldened the hatred for Jews by recognising Palestine and appealing to the Muslim vote. Unfortunately, for people like you until your daughter or grandaughter gets SA by one of these immigrants illegals then you will never see the light. If you love them so much offer to host them, live with them then you find out sharpish about them. You only need to see the countless stories about them.

You can take a horse to water and show it sense but unfortunately it won’t drink it.

  • “Reform will abolish maternity leave” → not currently an official published policy.
  • “Reform wants to ban abortion” → not official policy, though some members hold more socially conservative views.
  • “Tax breaks so women breed” → rhetorical framing of family-incentive policies.

You must be joking, are you not aware of the damage that R Reeves inflicted on businesses and Milliband with his zero net policy when other European countries have abandoned it

zero net?

Which European countries have abandoned net zero please?

I just hope you stick to CMS. Although I don’t suppose it’s much anyway. Thankfully I imagine that your ex is just happy she is now with a new man

@MsJinks

The £5m is telling us more about Reform U.K. than the local elections did.

People were aware of the £5 million before the local elections.

Hmmm… the abusers I and my family know all had good traditional white man names like Bob and Simon… Tommy, if you will.

Any comment on your own type SA, battering or murdering women?

Who is “pRoTeCtInG oUr wOmEn” from them, Phillip? Is it you?

EEexpat · 10/05/2026 09:47

@WildGarden

I KNOW they don't have to. But if they don't then they can't complain that nobody understands why they vote as they do.

I couldn’t care less if people don’t understand why I vote. It’s my choice and does not have to be explained to anyone.

Those who constantly seek explanation of why people vote are the bad losers.

We weren't talking about you personally.

Seeking understanding is a good thing to most reasonable people. Much better than burying your head in the sand when an obvious sea change is happening.

I asked once (not constantly) in response to a poster who said they felt nobody was interested in the motivation behind the way people voted.

I didn't lose. There was no voting in my area this week.

Pepperlee · 10/05/2026 10:09

MsJinks · 10/05/2026 06:47

I am seeing the reasons, reason really for some (not all), people may vote Reform in a GE - is this solely why they won in councils? It’s a shame really it has to be so as I used to vote locally less on political lines and more on the individual- saying that I drew the line at extreme parties - and yes I would have included Reform in that.

Just to throw in, I may have done before, and have elsewhere. I do live bang opposite one of these hotels and I recognise nothing of what is said here. I see more potential hassle with the white drug dealers/users also close by in the summer particularly. Though if I don’t bother them they’re surely not bothering me - maybe folk could try this approach.

I think integration could be better - but that is also heavily on us cutting funding for such as ESOL and threatening to burn folk alive really imo.

I realised lately that actually I feel more in danger in 2 heavily right wing areas in my city than any other. I don’t even like driving through them tbh and I’m pretty fine (lax lol) with my personal safety. It’s the anger that vibrates and makes me nervous - bit early to tell but not sure it’s going to improve as they got a Reform councillor in their ward - tbh they’re still angry winning.

I also went on the last Tommy March (as the counter protest side) - disappointed to be so heavily outnumbered for sure, but not wishing to stamp all over anyone - the biggest side were scarily angry instead of just happy about their numbers. I genuinely fear this level of anger and think Reform just pumps its up.

In other words, you're the sainted one. We get the picture. Every right winger is angry and all the lefties aren't. Maybe check out the loon who whacked a woman with a sledgehammer. Lovely lefties eh?
There's a park at the end of my road where the junkies wait for their dealers who tend to be black or brown. Someone upthread even said something patronising about a doctor in a niqab as though some of us would find this shocking. Women in niqabs walk past my house every day. So what? Someone else was aghast at black and brown people being called black or brown even though they refer to a white person as a white. "That's where the whites live" type of comment. The division will never heal if this patronising doesn't stop.

Passionfruit91 · 10/05/2026 10:13

They are the only patriotic party , they love their country and want their own British people to be looked after first before any other nationality. Charity starts at home. This is common sense , I don't understand why this is seen as a radical take. They will actually do something about the boats and they will also leave the ECHR which plays a big part in stopping deportations.

They basically will fight back against the place being colonised by Islam.
And also Zia Yusuf is Muslim and his parents were immigrants and even he can see the state the country has become and is against mass immigration.

Yeh Reform should just have the same policies as Labour. You know, tax everyone into oblivion to spaff on net zero and uncontrolled immigration. Class war against private schools. Lie about 6,500 new teachers. Lie about helping WASPI women. Lie about grooming gang inquiries. Businesses going bust due to higher employment costs and business rates. Investing in the UK in decline due to tax policies. Importing oil and gas when we have centuries of supply at home. I could go on .

ilovesleep6 · 10/05/2026 10:55

I do think Reform and others are reluctant to address the elephant in the room which is state pensions.

It’s a Ponzi scheme and one argument for immigration is to pay for pensions. But what happens when they get old? We currently need on average 3.5 workers per pensioner.

Immigration and pensions are linked but the recipients of the latter generally don’t want the former. But touching the latter and getting rid of triple lock is political suicide. It would be interesting to see how Reform addresses that.

I for one am glad that people are asking (and secretly hoping those currently in power are reading the replies). I genuinely believe that a lot of the voters have many reasons and immigration is not a reason for me as it doesn’t affect me negatively.

Reform are going to scrap the industrial suicide that is net zero. One good reason to vote for them
