The tirade of childish and unreasoned replies just confirms my theory that thought has been shelved in favour of popularity in your little dog-whistle echo-chamber.
So who/what is going to cause true debate in Parliament, to stop them filling their own pockets, and make them accountable to the people - by who I mean, young/old, rich/poor, North/South ?

Do you believe that Reform are going to do this?

Voting for reform deserves an amount of ridicule, the idea is ridiculous, I put spoil your ballot in there too, bloody snowflakes can't take a joke anymore eh? Unfortunately the system is pretty well rigged against actual progress and if that's your only concern then reform certainly aren't going to help, they'll play on prejudices to garner support for money, they're the awful spawn of racists and fascists that have almost learnt to cover up the worst of those tendancies just enough to look vaguely serious. I'd love actual progress, but for right now, I'll take not having the Tories actively destroying everything then maybe I'll regain enough hope for more.

Populism isn't true debate, it's the opposite. It's the appeal to (and manipulation of) raw emotion and base instinct. It disdains actual debate, saying that there are "typical people" out there whom political debate is ignoring and whom the populist doesn't have to define.
your little dog-whistle echo-chamber
Do you even understand the term dog-whistle? A dog whistle is, for example, Farage saying Sunak "doesn't understand our culture", letting the racists know he's saying Sunak is the wrong colour/religion to be properly British without quite saying it out loud. Dog whistles are what Farage and his ilk use to let some people know he considers them those "typical people". I think the people disagreeing with you here have been fairly explicit about why, not hiding behind code words.

Than vote reform? You could stick your bollocks in the window and close it with gusto, you could rub dog turds in your eyes, you could spoil your ballot, you could sit in a dark room listening to Westlife, you could eat your fingers, almost all ideas are better ideas.
