I think for some you’re correct, it will make the difference. I just think there’s a lot of people for whom jumping ship will be impossible. Get your ancestral passports and Duolingo sorted out now!

Where will you go?

You said you voted Labour twice, so I wasn’t wrong.

Also makes you more of a Labour supporter than I will ever be.

That doesn’t respond to the point that was made but ok.

I'm a Labour voter, always have been. I'm not ashamed of it, would vote for them again tomorrow. No government is perfect but I genuinely believe they've been better than the last lot.

Having said that, I am also anyone but reform (or restore) so if it came to it I would hold my nose and vote least worst, tory 🤮

Same here. I’ve never voted Tory in my life but live in one of the safest Tory seats in the country. Reform are very close behind at the moment and I’ll be voting Tory to ensure Reform do not get in.

I know many people who feel the same. Anyone but Reform will be the mantra of the next election, the vast majority of the UK public do NOT want a Farrage PM.

The vast majority dont want Burnham or Badenoch as PM, either, so your post is rather meaningless.

I’m not overly worried about a Reform
government, I don’t think it will happen. If I had to leave I’d retire to Spain or Italy probably.

I saw a photo of him taken recently. He looks a lot happier, so I think he might be glad he is gone too.

You have no idea what the vast majority want or don"t want, politically Reform"s numbers speak for themselves, many people obviously want change and the fact that the MSM suddenly want to take a look at how parties are funded is just LOL funny.

It will be very LOL if Nige gets charged. We live in hope.

No, the idea of fleeing to basket case EU countries to escape Farage is just laughable nonsense.

You don’t need an EU passport to retire to an EU country. You just need the right visa :)

Charged with what? There will be a long line of political types lining up to be charged if that happens.

I'll take Burnham or Badenoch over Farage too.

The point is that many people will vote tactically to keep Farage out.

Yorkshirelass04 · 12/09/2026 22:08

The polls tell us that Reforms popularity is waning and their candidates are falling like flies. It's a sham outfit. I suppose the donations are supposed to give them a bit of a boost. Make them feel less like a failure.

I'm still wary about the possibility of a Reform government because a lot of the population are pretty thick and / or brainwashed.

True on that front, but I’m not going for the economy or the politics, rather the landscape and the food!
