Reform Policies

[warey4life]

I reckon their council tax reform will sting a bit. Fancy voting for a government that put your taxes up and delivered nothing other than job losses, higher inflation, more illegal immigrants, economic damage, led by a PM who holds the record for being the least popular since records began.

But you voted for more illegal immigrants in 2016?

It's not just lefties who hate Reform, I hate them and I've voted Tory most of my voting life (not any more though). My dad is Daily Mail reading hardcore Tory and he despises Farage. Anyone who is slightly patriot won't vote for traitor Farage, and you say they are so far ahead in the polls, they are barely scraping 30%, so that's a hung parliament, and no other party will want to form a coalition with traitorous Putin sympathisers, and besides, it's ages til the next GE and Reform are making a total balls up of their councils and they've already lost over 40 councillors since May. I'm going to enjoy watching Farage fail again

I think a lot of disgruntled Conservatives will return to the fold come next election.

The Conservative core base of middle class, traditional small c Conservatives won’t be voting Reform.

The next election will be largely dependent on the economy, if global growth starts to recover and U.K.s outlook improves Reform will lose support.

There is NO alternative to Reform. None. Thats the real truth of the matter.

The country is sick and tired of the ruling governments over the last several decades.

The country is yearning for a change. It needs it.

For many, Reform looks to be the only solution.....

Nigel Farage and Richard Tice are rich establishment toffs, both ex Tory members.

Reform is just ex Tory MPs with Tory policies.


Have you ever been into the supermarket and seen a product that’s been the same for years, but now says “New improved recipe” ….you buy it and it tastes worse’s than the old one.

30% of the electorate support Reform, that means most of the country don't support Reform

How does that compare to the Labour Party's results in the 2024 GE?

Income tax exemption for front-line NHS workers - good idea
Tax relief on private healthcare and insurance - helps keep demand down
Raise minimum income tax threshold - if it increases the wealth gap between the employed and the unemployed, why not
Scrap stamp duty on properties under £750,000, probably should be regional, round my way thats a pretty modest house, that would be "dead posh" in some areas.
Inheritance tax abolished for estates under £2 million - sounds good why should the government get tax on wealth that has already been taxed, given more and more people aren't married this seems fair, but I admit I am bias.
Scrap VAT on energy bills - it's hardly a luxury item, but maybe have the first say £300 pm exempt.
Half foreign aid budget - often p*** away on corruption anyway.
I liked two strikes on job offers for those getting benefits.
Public inquiry into excess Covid deaths and vaccine harm - not sure about that
Immigration tax it might reduce unemployment
Leave European Convention on Human Rights - don't think we need to, just reform the Human Rights Act

there of course was some waffle and sound bites in the policy too. They aren't perfect, just the best option to get the disastrous Labour government out.

Economically illiterate and inconsistent. A shameless appeal to as many different voting groups as possible. The PR team have sat down and dictated the policies.

Labour got the lowest vote share of any government in history, but they got the majority of votes in more constituencies (that's first past the post for you).
Reform's votes are more sporadic, they may get 30% of the vote but they won't turn into seats.
Labour will get even less support at the next GE, and I'm hoping that most voters are not ignorant traitors and the other parties will get a vote share large enough to stop the anti-British Putin sympathisers getting a majority.

So what you are saying is:

VOTE LABOUR FOREVER!

Some who voted for Stammer will vote re form, many will go green or vote lib dum. The point is that re forms lead is trailing off, they have reached their peak, and will have faded further by 2029. Their best hope is to influence a hung parliament. Maybe that wouldn't be bad for the country.

I'm going to suggest that the Labour party has now been irreversibly trashed by Starmer and co, at least for the next election and possibly beyond.

The Tories are still going to be unelectable at the next election too, people will still hate them for the immigration, lockdowns and uncontrolled spending.

The left has been fragmented into making do with the wishy washy lib dems or gullible people voting for Hypno-Tits in the green party.

Reform is probably going to win a majority, just because they actually stand for something. They're promising/threatening to give the country the kick up the arse it needs, it's 1979 again - people voted Thatcher in because they wanted to take the bitter medicine that was needed. Good.

Why? Reasons

The Tories are still going to be unelectable at the next election too, people will still hate them for the immigration, lockdowns and uncontrolled spending.

They've still got time to get their act together

The left has been fragmented into making do with the wishy washy lib dems or gullible people voting for Hypno-Tits in the green party.

You can only see far left. You can't see central

Reform is probably going to win a majority, just because they actually stand for something.

Unlikely. A hung parliament is probably their best bet currently and as an election gets nearer could be even less likeky

They're promising/threatening to give the country the kick up the arse it needs, it's 1979 again - people voted Thatcher in because they wanted to take the bitter medicine that was needed. Good.

A good opposition is never a bad thing.

Are reform a good opposition though?

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Why? Reasons

Sorry, I just couldn't take you seriously enough to bother reading beyond this! THE most unpopular government ever, after the steepest decline in popularity ever, which still hasn't reached its low. Every week they do or say something new to make people hate them even more, they're like a bizarre experiment in just how bad a government could be.

Reform aren't the opposition, the tories are.

Starmer and co regularly take advatage of the situation by ranting and bitching about Farage, as they know he's not allowed a right to reply. That's why he once went to the public gallery as a protest, as he's not allowed to speak anyway.

We currently have an opposition with no chance of being elected, and a future government that is kept silent.
