What I would like to ask Reform supporters what are the specific Reform policies they support?

[CurlewKate]

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.

Extreme snobbery on here. So you don’t know what policies they voted for but you’re still going to demonise them.

Mass deportations simply will not happen. The system isn’t equipped to handle it.

You do realise that you cannot deport people to a country unless that country accepts the individual belongs to them.

Nor can you deport brown people who are British citizens. Of which there will be many.

I wouldn't bet on that happening. Farage has already retreated on much of his tax cut hype

I didn't vote reform. But one of their policies locally that I liked was not building on some green belt land. Labour had given the go ahead. The council is no overall control now and with the alliances that will be formed.. reform, green.. conservative, that project is now dead in the water.

Again, it wasn't just local government elections today.
And the Manifesto for Wales Senedd wasn't much more fleshed out tbh.
Just a few examples:

They're taking a 1p off the Tax bands that will cost them 371 million by the end of the term but with no explanation of how they will pay for this, and at the same time as promising lots of reforms and improvements to the NHS and Dentistry (for example) none of which is reliant on privatisation - they claim they are committed to keeping the NHS free at the point of use - the figures don't add up.

They do say they will stop the 'foreign aid' spending of the Welsh Government especially at a time when the NHS in Wales is at such a low and A and E waiting times are so high.
That's approximately £58 million.
£58 million will run the Welsh NHS for less than two days...

They will also end all Migrant Hotels in Wales. They don't qualify it is only in 'Reform areas', like they have in England, either.
Just all of them.
As of the end of 2025 there were 74 migrants in hotel accommodation in Wales. Not 74 hotels, 74 individual people.
So that's good...

They will also prioritise social housing for Welsh people. But they don't clarify who Welsh people are, as far as they are concerned. So maybe they mean anyone born in England (or other parts of the UK) but living and working and paying tax in Wales, are now 'Foreigners' who will go to the back of the queue. Which is odd, because we know that Nigel Farage (beautiful British name there...) considers Welsh people to be 'Foreign Speakers'... so that's clear then.

Here are Reform's healthcare policies:

End training caps for all UK medical students.
• Write off student fees pro rata per year over 10 years of NHS service for all doctors,
nurses and medical staff.
• Harness independent and not-for-profit health provision in the UK and overseas.
• Tax Relief of 20% on all private healthcare and insurance.
• Put patients in charge with a new NHS voucher scheme. Services will always be free
at the point of use.
• Improve Efficiency by cutting waste and unnecessary managers
• Operating theatres must be open on weekends.
• Review all NHS private finance contracts for significant savings potential. Charge those who fail to attend medical appointments without notice.
Abolish the NHS race and health observatory.
• Save A&E waiting times with a campaign of ‘Pharmacy First, GP Second, A&E Last’.

Of course how achievable or where the funding is coming from to pay for all this is another question.

People have been talking about it for decades and decades.

Ah I think the leopards will catch up with him…

What a shame. This country is crying out for housing.

1. Your local council can't do any of that. Local councils empty bins, look after roads and parks, provide social care, education and not much more.
2. The NHS would be absolutely fucked if all the staff who came from what you describe as 'third world' countries were deported. Are you keen to deport everybody who comes from such a country, regardless of their education, skills, tax contribution and so on? What if they entered this country legally?

Do you have a link please?

I think many are forgetting that these elections are for local authority type councils, not national government. My area voted last year, so I’ve been spared making any judgement, but my criteria would likely be very different regarding who I’d trust to make sure I received a good service for council tax paid, rather than who I’d trust to make country wide policy affecting our long term stability. Local Government officers/Civil servants do the graft, appointed councillors/MPs decide direction. If direction is bonkers they’ll push back.

I wonder how many people were duped by the promise to “cut your council tax”, which Farage has now admitted means they won’t charge the maximum.

Farage has already U turned on that.

Yes very true

A bit like Labour voters who blame the Tories for everything?

I’m so worried now. Our county council has gone to Reform. They control SEND budgets. Just when my child needs support and I was hoping for council support where the BHS won’t deliver it. I know that’s slightly off topic but I’ll bet their views on SEND issues is a big draw for many.

Well the thing is, the tories did a lot of damage to this country and Labour have started to turn it around.

They have an ever developing range of physical and mental conditions that they've worsened with decades of self neglect. They are very good at manipulating the system.

It used to annoy me but you can only stay annoyed so long and they will never change.

My aunt is like this. Fills me with rage because she (and her daughter, who is the same), look down on me for being at home in my 20s, despite having not worked since age 25, when she got pregnant and got a council house.

my mind is absolutely boggled by this post.

It’s scary - it’s like people have been hypnotised. Brexit all over again but this time we are heading for a real disaster if Reform win in 3 years.

Mine too! We did have a rather significant referendum in 2016 and a key reason for the result was immigration from the European Union.
