These guys that keep trying to bash Reform are not helping and being over conspiratorial. No political party is ever going to be perfect and contain totally genuine honourable members. However Reform are a step in the correct direction, and there is no other viable alternative, both Conservative and Labour parties have sold their souls to Satan, and have been betraying the country and all of us for years if not decades, and in the process hugely damaged our country, culture, values, and standard of living.

Reform's policies are largely common sense, and although perhaps unlikely, if they could gain power to implement those policies, then our lives would be improved, and even our security might also be improved. If people hold their nerve and vote for Reform in significant numbers, there is a remote possibility they could pull off a shock result, or at least demonstrate the feelings and desire of a huge proportion of the British people, therefore putting pressure on which ever party is in power, just as UKIP did previously.

These idiots bashing Reform will only increase the likelihood of a significant Labour majority, or a very slim Conservative win, and either result will be disastrous for the County and our future. Our only method now to demonstrate that we want change is to vote for it, before we are forced in to taking other options.

I can't listen to this "Para" character, his shit is purely click bait and I think he has a screw loose/chip on his shoulder.

Problem with our voting system is I remember UKIP in one election getting 4 million votes and ended up with one MP, SNP got 1.5 million votes and had 50 odd seats. Brexit Party won the European elections as it based on proportional representation which I think is fairer as everyone's vote counts and the powers that be won't change it for obvious reasons.

I would strongly resist Proportional Representation, it's good if you are a minority and want a slice of the power cake but just remember that we already have a problem with minorities calling the shots. In Scotland PR is why the little freaky, slimy bastards known as the Green Party are part of the Scottish Government and dictate a lot of the worst policies going. None of their MSP's actually won the ballot in their area and, therefore, are far from the choice of the Majority and only got in because, having received a few thousand votes (I think it was something like fifteen thousand across the whole of Scotland). The SNP did a deal with them to secure a majority (People don't seem to realise that the SNP don't have a significant majority in the Scottish Parliament because it hasn't been highlighted in the media) and so have to pander to them to keep them on board as, without them the SNP are fucked.

I'm voting Reform myself if they field a candidate here and I think they are the only choice. Yes they may not win a single seat but, if they have cornered a significant slice of the vote across the nation it will send a message that the silent majority are finally finding their voice and the other parties will get the message that, if they don't start listening to the majority and stop playing minority politics, then come the next election Reform could sweep them all away.

I do have to say that I'm not entirely confident that Reform are the answer. I'd like to think they will be a breath of fresh air and do what needs to be done but I worry that they are just more typical politicians who have a new angle. My gut feeling is that we really need a revolution and the tearing down of all the political structures followed by a ground up re-building but, for the moment Reform is our best hope in the traditional political arena. But if anyone wants to lead the real revolution then count me in.

How many TV programmes have you seen about single mums etc on benefits. When straight after they claim that they struggle to feed & clothe their 5 kids from 5 different fathers.
The camera pans around to a four pack of Stella & 20 cigarettes on the kitchen counter.
That's obviously designed to get us shouting at the TV.

The dumb bitch in the video is there for that exact same reason. She regularly appears on TV in a scenario where she is supposed to be debating a topic. But within seconds she's shouting about the "Far Right" etc.

Basically, she's a set up to make decent British people react to her obvious racism. I hate the character she plays. But I try to remind myself that she is deliberately trotted out to boil my pi$$.
