What is the best way to vote to stop Reform at next GE

[HedgeKnights]

As a more left leaning voter, I am happy to vote Labour, Lib Dem or Green. I am worried Reform will win the next GE and think Lib Dem might be the way to go, to keep them out. Not just as a tactical vote as I do like most of their policies.
Do people who don't want Reform in power need to to come together now behind one party, or is it more difficult than that
Edited spelling

I tend to vote tactically, so Greens and SNP usually to keep Labour, Tories and Reform out.

You think voters would support a party which would move to an insurance healthcare system and get rid of the ECHR? A party which is anti non British members of the public?

I disagree. He is so hated by many that tactical voting will stop him. Also as reform get more scrutiny their extreme agenda and dodgy funding will be exposed.

Reform have taken over where I live.
I’m going to be contacting the councillors on a regular basis to complain about pot holes and anti social behaviour. I’ll be expecting a response to every email and a resolution.
I’ll see how well they tackle those issues.

First of all you need to find a party with a proven record of being able to run the country successfully.
Good luck.

I must say I have always had a great dislike of tactical voting because imo the purpose of the vote is to endorse the candidate who best expresses the political values you agree with, not for ǰust trying to keep out the candidate you don't like

I admit that these days, because of the state of the political parties and their values, and in many cases the quality of the candidates themselves, it's very difficult to find someone worth voting for.

I hope that the rise of Reform will give the other political parties the fright they need to actually get their acts together.

Where have you been?

Imposing your political views on people too young to understand is called indoctrination.

People of all ages should be free to vote without pressure or influence, especially from within their family.

I would think the best way is for the parties on the left to find some sense. A good place to start is women don’t have penises. If you say/think lies like that, what else do you lie about.

Let’s see how much damage the Reform councils do in their constituencies. If Kent is anything to go but they’ll lose their appeal. I think polls suggest they’ve peaked anyway so it might be downhill from here

Reform do not get anywhere near enough scrutiny. And I think a lot of the left will vote for whoever they need to, to keep Reform out.

Reform are going to need to do better with candidates than they have for councils.

It’s called educating the difference from right and wrong. It’s basic human decency.

make labour more popular

Tactically, is the answer OP. So whoever is the main opponent to Reform in your area is who you should vote for. That will vary, depending on where you live.

We’re not British but after spending most of my life in the UK, DH and I have left. Thankfully DT’s have dual nationality and both have jobs in mainland Europe.

Starmer drives people to Reform so they’ll have to decide what to do, stick or twist.

Basic human decency and democracy is to educate them neutrally on all options and let them make their own choice.

And yes, we have the wrong system (FPTP) for the multi-party situation this country now finds itself in. So either Labour bring in PR in the next three years or we'll have a hung parliament next time and whichever party gets the largest vote share will have to try and form a minority government with another party, like in 2010.

Depends on where you live and it makes more sense to consider this around the time of the next GE. My constituency has always been Labour but Greens did well at the last GE and think they could be successful next time. I’m leaning towards voting Green at the next GE but couldn’t say for sure yet!

Hopefully by then some of us might be able to vote for Andy Burnham

I don’t think that’s ridiculous. If you’re in a current Lib Dem constituency, they may well be the people who have the best chance of beating Reform in that seat. And that’s all you can do, focus on your own seat.

I think he and his cronies will do so badly in administration in the coming couple of years that people won’t vote for them. Turning to the Tories probably.

You'd be astonished at what people will vote for. This prize specimen who regards Jimmy Saville as a working class hero came very close to being elected:

With a bit of luck the new reform councillors will be as shit as the current ones are. And Farage dodgy finances will come to light.

There are countries in the EU that are far less bound by the ECHR than the UK. Until the mainstream get to grips with youth unemployment, immigration (especially irregular and illegal immigrants), housing, the huge rise in PIP for mental health issues etc., people will look for real alternatives.

They are statistically more likely to vote Green.

If you want to discourage a Reform vote, you should equally want to discourage a Green vote.
