Id say thats kind of my argument for voting Reform at this time. Spot on. After all the chances and second and third and so on chances tories and labour have had after all the sleaze and fcuk ups, lies and deceit it amazes me how anyone won't afford reform one crack at it. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It certainly is, but Advance aren't even a political party yet they are a limited company with aspirations to become a political party if they can get 30,000 members paying £30 a pop! I'm not doing it down just saying at this time I don't believe they are the right option. For the first time in my voting life time we have a viable alternative to uni-party politics, I would prefer a far right party but a vote for any one of the others mentioned is just splitting the vote. I'm going over old ground so will leave it there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Draw and quarter the cnuts. Blighty! Unless they continued to experiment on children, and execute disabled kids etc . But I agree, they'd certainly have sorted a few issues regarding certain elements of society.... And das ist gut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Id say thats kind of my argument for voting Reform at this time. Its only " splitting the vote " if theres something to be split.....if Reform are no different to the Uni party which with the way they are now veering to the left they are not,then what is there to split ?....and being realistic after the damage Starmer has done theres no chance of Labour getting back in anyway. Lets be honest Reform have backtracked to a place where very few people would have been attracted to them at all had they come out with all this a year ago....again,its not a football team you support through thick or thin why would you continue to be behind a political party that doesnt stand for what you believe in ?....if deep down you are a far righter then what are you doing standing behind a party that are centre left,or at best centre ? A combination of Restore who are there to be in parliament holding the government accountable on issues and policies that we the public actually vote for and believe in.....and Advance who will without a shadow of a doubt soon have 30k members.....with 4 years to come together as one which they no doubt will i honestly dont know what genuine right leaning people are waiting for....unless of course like i say you see it like a football club you have to be loyal to. What is contradictory about saying theres a party that stands for 7 of the 10 issues important to me and then theres a party that stands for 2 of the 10 issues that are important to me.....im choosing the one that stands for 7 ?....yes id like there to be a party with all 10 issues that are important to me but such a party doesnt exist........its not contradictory its basic common sense.

I cant see whats so complicated about it an election is 4 years away its a long time in politics.....look how much Reform has changed in 1 year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think there's any hope outside of reform for the next decade. Unless there's a full scale civil war. Half the population walks around staring into a phone , half the population want to be back in the EU and welcoming illegals over, so if we can pull off a decent reform win I'd take that, hopefully for whatever reason there is an election called before then..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
