As I said earlier, I welcome other voices. But to vote for Reform in order to shake things up as a protest vote is to a) ignore all that they stand for and b) exactly what fucked us over with Brexit. Which is, of course, what Farage wants. They have no policies outside of immigration, no experience or even desire to actually run the country properly, they just want to continue the (so far ridiculously successful) pull of the country to the right (while riding the personal gravy trains).
However, politics does need re-setting, in particular after the last 14 years. I'd be more than happy to get rid of FPTP, reform the Lords and if that means a few Farage types as MPs it also means more Greens etc as a balance. I can understand why someone might want to register a vote to move in that direction even though personally I find it abhorrent to give that vote to Farage.

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
