twaddle
Nanna, There are a number of alternatives. Seriously ... would you jump off a cliff just because the alternative roads didn't look very inviting? In my opinion, people who think Reform is the only choice are suffering from myopia.
People don't have to vote Labour. I wouldn't ever vote Conservative, but for people whose politics are inclined in that direction, even Kemi Badenoch is improving. If push came to shove, she would make a better leader than Farage and could put together a better and more experienced team.
Just because Reform is something new doesn't mean it's better. I don't think it would happen, but the LibDems would (IMO) be better than Reform and they have more parliamentary experience. They also have experience of running local councils.
If people really want change, even the Greens would offer that!
So there seriously are alternatives, all of which would offer more realistic change than Reform without voters shooting themselves in the foot.
👏👏👏👏👏
In my humble opinion, if any new Reform MPs are anything like the new Reform Councillors gawd help us all!
On a serious note, there are no “genuine” Reform MPs, aren’t the 8 or so MPs all actually ex-conservatives?
I know people are all fired up, I get people are frustrated, disenchanted and angry, but (said it before and I’m pretty sure I’ll say it again!), it’s a massive ask to whip up the 300+ MPs required to form a govt, where and how will this happen?
Actually, that’s my whole question about Reform in general, how, how much and how long are my questions to the stop the boats, get people off benefits and salvaging our NHS, which, to be fair, are the only three things I ever hear Reform wish to do, since their promise of raising our income tax allowances to a fiscal suicide level of £20,000 a year seems to have been flushed away down the pan!
Some more explanations and clear policies might help their cause.
I certainly don’t agree that “we don’t have a choice”, Conservatives, LibDem and Greens are not dead, and actually, neither is the Labour Party. If only voters in general could be a little less concerned with Asylum Seekers and migration (I’m not suggesting these areas are not an issue), and people on benefits, and just a little more able to perhaps make changes that might be required in their own lives to improve their situations, (I’m not suggesting everyone is able to do this, nor that people don’t try in general), blaming others is easy, taking a little bit of accountability for one’s one actions is far harder.
This certainly isn’t aimed at anyone in here, most of us are now retired, done our bit and paid our dues.
Sadly the same cannot be said of some of the younger generation, not all, but that small percentage who would prefer to blame anyone other than themselves for their current situations.
Life is hard, tough and not fair, sounds harsh, but it’s true, there is no panacea nor magic wand, and is certainly not Nigel Farage.
