I wonder how long it will take for them to leap frog the tories in the polls.
Edit: I don’t support Reform.
This is good, split the conservative and reform vote lol Labour are very unlikely to lose anyway but this is just an extra hand.
B-b-but i thought everyone hated farage! But the milkshake!
Sunak did this to himself. He shouldn’t have made immigration such a major part of his strategy because it’s such a tricky issue to solve and if you fail to solve it, you boost parties like Reform.
Sunak is a smart bloke. He knew Rwanda wouldn’t work but went along with it anyways. He knew immigration was difficult but kept talking about “stopping the boats”.
The Tories will look back and see this as a major mistake.
This happens with Farage’s party every election then come election day his voters realise it’s a two horse race and vote red or blue.
I’ll sleep easy tonight knowing that at least one Tory MP is crying themselves to sleep over this news. But fuck, Reform being larger than the Tories would be scary af
They are doing that as it is the only way to get focus from the Media. From that they can then get a small platform to get their message across – so after falling off the paddle boards they then got an interview about water quality.
I agree they shouldn’t have to do that – and I would rather that they didn’t but it does seem to work to get a bit of visibility
Poor old Reform, relevant for about 5 weeks every five years.
The Tories route back to some form of redemption was to reach out to many of the moderates who Johnson ousted in his Brexit purge. Instead, little rishi decided to double down on the shift towards the rabid right and is reaching deep into fuck around, find out territory. Before there can be any renaissance from the party, they would need to demonstrate an extended period of positive and constructive opposition, but I doubt that many of the current crop have got that ethos within them.
Reform, Tory, Independent. All the same. While Labour is fine to critique.
As much as I hate those pricks, I’m glad they’re splitting the Tory vote in key racist seats.
Done a bit of research about Reform.
Love every single one of their policies and ideology.
All except 1. The fox hunting
They could barely manage councillors, I’d be surprised if their MP prospects were any better in reality.
Major white pill. Feels like the boys are back in town!
The amazing thing with farage is that he’ll lend his credence to a party, it’ll become really popular and then he’ll abandon it before anything significant happens.
He’s either – a paid actor who works for the oligarchs who gatekeep…everything or he’s a troll.
Wouldn’t that be great to be accountable for the talk, rather than just a mouth for hire with no consequences???
It doesn’t matter how much votes Reform gets. FPTP will only allow him to get 1-2 seats. We saw this in 2015. It’s because of the FPTP system
I hate the fact these are now going to be the oldies go to party. They are not happy with Tories but won’t vote for Labour so decide to go deeper doen the crazy route.
Is reform evenly distributed? I know labour pile up the votes in London. Is it Labour vs Reform up north and then Labour v conservatives down south?
I just read their (draft) statement on their website and it’s laughable. How the word reform can be used to take politics back 50 years is just silly, and yes they actually use “woke” as some kind of enemy. Their environmental policy is appalling too.
In a PR system this could mean something in a FPTP system all it does it cost the Tories seats as it is splitting their already diminishing vote. I’d be more than happy for reform party supporters to vote for them as essentially they are still unlikely to return more than a couple of seats (this is best case and unlikely) but what it does do is hands Labour the red wall back and creates two more seats the Tories will have to win back to get back in.
What happens if Reform and the Tories agree to form a coalition government – on this Poll together they are at 36% and Lab on 40%. That’s 1% away from the 3% margin of error.
everytime i go on yougov its just absolute nonsense polls. I’m sure they must hide all the good ones for reform voters
