You are identifying an issue- the lack of a centre right. In answer to your question of who to vote for who would be traditionally small c conservative the closest answer is the Lib Dem’s. Voting for the tories or Reform isn’t a vote for the centre, no matter what Andrew Neill et al pretend.
But- and this is I think key - as long as we let people maintain the fiction that the current Tory party are centre right the longer it will be before we actually see a party comfortably occupy that space.
Dammit-
The idea that the party that took on the National Trust is still center right is laughable.
I don't doubt that the hard right has an out sized amount of coverage but the party of Major or Cameron, they are not!
This line feels like it's straight from Rupert Murdoch. The idea that the centre is zero regulation and being mean to foreigners is the middle ground.

Stop trying to talk me out of voting tactically, arguably there to the left of Labour on a lot of issues.

I find the pile on, on someone saying they consider reform an option slightly odd and does show how heavily the demographic of the forum is skewed (which is fine but people should deluded themselves thier is a mix of voices). I get the bashing of Tice and Farage as they are a negative influence on politics in my opinion but if you are socially and fiscally conservative and don't like FPTP, who else should you vote for?
Seems strong centrist dad vibes to oppose everything that challenges the status quo and keeps us locked in a two party system that isn't working
I'm surprised so many of the political compasses didn't come out more authoritarian as a lot of people seem to be against people having views different from thiers
