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.

Good but living in the South East it feels very overcrowded

I care about housing people. More than being a nimby.

You have a nice house I assume?

Had enough of the brown people?

Yes and I worked for my home, I don't expect to get something for nothing.

Bit of a desperate stretch. Why are you bringing colour into it?

🥱

It isn’t social housing they will build on greenbelt. That land is too expensive.

Well you can tackle the housing problem in two ways:

1. Less demand- by having fewer people in the country or at least not growing. This can be done in a number of ways less children born, encourage emigration and yes reduce immigration.

2. increase supply by building more houses - yes wildlife and pretty views are great but I care more about the quality of life for young people unable to afford a home, start a family or being saddled with mortgage debt than I do about Great Crested Newts.

Personally I would be in favour of both less people and more houses.

Celebrating most likely.

This is simply a question of supply and demand.

Skin colour should be completely irrelevant, but worryingly it isn't to you. Why?

Zia Yusef is the most impressive person in politics currently.

Leave the ECHR.
Migrants will be needed in the future as population is ageing and birth rate is declining. So, more working migrants will be needed. However, they will need to have secured a job before they are allowed to enter the UK. Switzerland, who have stated they will never become an EU member, has a similar policy.

No one (sensible) has issues with immigration, it is illegal migrants (criminals) that should be unable to receive benefits/avoid British laws.
The NHS in its current form is unsustainable.

I didn't vote Reform but this is what I believe influenced Reform voters.

More simple mathematics. There are around 6000 homes required in my local area to solve the housing shortage. Net migration in 2025 was less than 1000 people last year. Even without those people, 5000 people would be homeless in my area. Immigration has bugger all to do with the housing shortage.

Given how bad golf courses are for the environment it might be a really good idea to build on golf courses. Only 8% of the population play golf regularly. All of us need a roof over our heads.

What about all the net migration before 2025, it has an impact on housing

Feels how? Because the census data doesn’t bear that out at all.

Edinburgh trams was a local government policy. The Scottish elections were a national government election. SNP came to power promising to scrap it. They then back tracked on that, and since then the trams have been expanded across more of the city.

The scoffers and sneerers never learn, do they. Still seething from Brexit it seems.

Very few people are interested in understanding why people may have chosen to vote Reform. People have already made their minds up that it's the ignorant, thick, hateful bigots who just reckon Nigel would be a top laugh over a pint. They cannot fathom the possibility that intelligent, educated, and well-informed people could vote for something so "crazy" and "fascist" as, for example... wait for it....securing our borders.

In any non-Western culture/nation, Reform-style policies would be considered absolutely obvious, mainstream and uncontroversial. There is nothing hateful about them.

I don't know if accusing someone you don't know of racism when you have no fucking evidence is allowed on here but I've reported your post anyway.

I'm sorry the results today have upset you but you are barking up the wrong tree!

My colleague told me that the specific policy he voting reform for is the one where Farage said that if they got in he would make sure that every immigration centre would be put into Green constituencies, none would be a reform constituency.

Report away. If it makes you feel better.

As it stands today I would vote reform (as would the majority of our small area) purely because of the
Solar proposals, one of the biggest in the country planned along with 6 smaller ones either passed or in planning stages. Reform promised to block these kinds of plans especially all in one area

Already deleted. Thank you MN (it obviously isn't allowed then). 🙏

Typical MN moderation. Let the racism stand and delete anyone calling it out.

@Plummagic absolute toddler attitude you have there. And great imagination too.

I see you.
