Reform supporters voting against their best interests

research shows: Reform voters are highly likely to be on benefits



"The majority of Labour seats at risk from Reform have the highest rates of people living on disability benefits, according to new research by anti-poverty charity Trussell.
The research, shared with PoliticsHome, found that nearly six in 10 Labour constituencies that are at risk of being won by Reform at the next general election are in the top third of areas in England and Wales for the rates of people receiving health-related benefits.

You keep on going on about Reform supporters...
Are you one of them?
Besides, I don't think people on benefits make up the majority of the electorate.
A reform of the benefit system is well overdue.
Too many able people claiming of being unable to work.
I know 2 families who have been on disability benefits all of their life, from the grandparents to the parents and now all kids declared disabled.
Statistically that's impossible, especially when the dad goes playing football twice a week and doing all sorts of heavy work in the house.
Then I know people in wheelchair who get up in the morning and go to work.
How is that possible???
Disability should be assessed by random specialists and then monitored.
If someone claims that they can't walk unaided, do random checks.

Contrary to your lying thread title, it's very much in the best interests of the vast majority of the UK population for the benefits system to be fundamentally changed and vastly shrunk.

The title of the linked article is typcial leftie spin, as it's deliberately misleading. Designed to fool the tiny brains of non-thinkers. I don't know whether Reform voters are more or less likely to be on disability benefits (presumably than supporters of other parties), but they're still a minority of the entire population. The majority do not gain from the benefits system, they just pay for it.

Most people are capable of understanding that all this has to be paid for, by the vast majority of us.

Labour, despite its name, is not the party of working people. It's the party of scrounging slackers, who are paid by everyone else, against their wishes, to persuade the recipients of this stolen money to vote Labour. It's mass corruption.

Many deform voters either don't understand that the policies of their beloved fuhrer will harm them, or are in denial...

Mind you if they can't accept the total disaster that was brexit, then there is no hope...

After all many said then that they were happy for them, their families, and their friends to suffer hardship in order to reach their mythical sunny upland...

Should disaster strike and garbage gets into power, one wonders who they'll be blaming after a year...

Odds on that broken record will still be playing!

Well, they can simply copy Labour and blame the previous government.

Someone in the audience of QT a few weeks back (or might have been Debate Night) said she had previously worked in the benefits office. She said it wasn't completely unusual to see third generation family members on benefits. As you said, families where the grandparents hadn't worked, nor the parents, and now she was seeing the kids coming in to claim as well. Granted her point wasn't disability connected however the underlying point is linked.

It's like parents who say 'I have three kids, all of them have been diagnosed with ADHD.'

Of course they have ...

Yep, I know lots of them and they're all very proud of this.
It's like a badge of honour nowadays.
Nothing wrong with the kids though.
