      So people are saying they’d vote for Farage’s latest personality cult if he wasn’t in charge of it?

      How does that work?

      “I’d love to vote for the hypocritical, racist party of authoritarianism, backed by a foreign billionaire but I’m just not a fan of the hypocritical, racist authoritarian, backed by a foreign billionaire.”

      The same guy who promised millions to nhs, just to lie his way into power, with the pissheads who support him.

      And none of it matters because 4 years is a long time in politics as we’ve seen with the last government.

      It could be more of the same from Labour or it could be that they’re laying the ground work for a second term which is what they want.

      All they have to do to win is show results 6 months before the next election and not get dragged into the mud.

      Farage is a grifter. For all intents and purposes, he’s the same as those fat football watchers who see a person miss a penalty and says “oh c’mon even i cud’ve done betta”.

      He spouts shit and is more than happy to demonise everything and anyone and how bad everything is. But the moment he gets into power, he’s useless. Why? Because he’s got no substance.

      If their most visible representative is their biggest turn-off to voters, Reform are in trouble, because if the quality of their candidates in the last election is anything to go by, their less visible representatives are even more of a car crash.

      If Farage steps aside for the good of the party (ha ha ha ha ha) then the public will have to either get acquainted with the swivel-eyed weirdos running on a Reform ticket, or get reacquainted with the Tory cast-offs whose brain worms got too big for them to progress in the main party.

      LOL without Farage Reform were getting less than 5% of the votes in local elections. He is the Reform party.

      Why do these posts about reform keep popping up it seems like every other one at the moment ?

      Rupert Lowe should be leader. Talks a lot of sense

      Here we go guys, the downvote arrow is here ⬇️

      >Adam Drummond, head of political and social research at Opinium, commented: “Voters generally know about three things about Reform: it’s a party led by Nigel Farage, they don’t like immigration, and they aren’t the Labour or Conservative parties.

      I don’t think you can say that “they don’t like immigration” as according to Farage their policy (net-zero migration) is still set to have around 5-600k inwards a year – more that they don’t like current immigration policy rather than immigration as a concept going by those numbers.

      Really? I thought the exact opposite was the case. That people support Reform largely because of Nigel

      I would not trust a lot of articles regarding this, Musk want Farage out so he can install a leader who will do everything he wants.…

      If the leader changes a lot of normal people will see through this and move away to another party or not bother voting for anyone

    15. Future_Pianist9570 on

      If they aren’t voting for Farage what are they voting for then? A load of bigoted wife beaters?

    16. GhostRiders on

      Not every Reform voter is a racist, but every Racist voted for Reform.

      If your on the same side as racists then your on the wrong side.

    17. limeflavoured on

      But according to people on this sub they’re going to win a majority in 2024 and Farage will be PM.

    18. hereforcontroversy on

      The people who vote for reform BECAUSE of Nigel Farage are far greater than the people whose “biggest reason” not to vote for them is Farage but they wouldn’t actually vote for Reform regardless because there are a dozen other reasons not to vote for them.

      A weird way to try to suggest Reform would be better without the only person from Reform that anyone knows about.

      Remember UKIP? Every time he stood down as leader they disappeared into obscurity.

    20. Codect on

      Respondents who said they would *not* vote Reform most commonly cited Farage as the main reason.

      In itself this is not particularly useful information. You’d also need to poll people who *would* vote reform to understand if Farage is the main reason for their support. Then you can see if he is a net help or hinderence to the party.

      This **monkey** hates Europe and continues to receive the EU pension, paid by all of us Europeans!

    22. PartyPoison98 on

      I’m not shocked. I reckon Farage with Reform has a similar effect to Corbyn with Labour. No matter how many voters he brings in, he turns more people off the party.

    23. Dragon_Sluts on

      The thing with Reform is I can understand thinking Immigration is too high and that governments aren’t taking illegal immigration seriously. That’s an ok stance to have and I think it is not healthy to label that as an unacceptable stance as that pushes people further right.

      My concern is that so many of their policies are based on riling people up, they aren’t costed, they aren’t backed up by economists, they are just a list of populist fluff.

      It’s a good thing we had Liz Truss as PM because that gives you a flavour for what Reform would be like.

      If Nigel went away and they tidied up their senseless policies they could very well make a good opposition. But I really fear they are gunna try and copy Trumps success, but hopefully the next 4 years of US economic chaos will be enough to deter people…

      I find these polls confusing. One moment he’s really popular, the next he isn’t? Are they saying that they agree with the Muskrat?

    25. Prestigious-Town4937 on

      He’s created a monster he can’t control,imagine how right wing you have to be for Farage not be to right wing enough.I think a lot of this has to do with him not wanting Tommy Robinson to have anything to do with the party

    26. EleganceOfTheDesert on

      I can believe it. I maintain that Boris Johnson is the biggest reason Leave won in 2016, because him being there meant that Farage didn’t have to be the face of the campaign.
