There's a string of false equivalences here.
to oppose everything that challenges the status quo and keeps us locked in a two party system that isn't working
Reform UK isn't "everything that challenges the status quo". Opposing it doesn't even mean opposing its entire manifesto; if somebody finds its anti-immigrant and anti-"woke" culture war policies repellent, Reform UK's position on reforming the House of Lords is irrelevant.
a lot of people seem to be against people having views different from thiers
Alternatively,a lot of people with a range of views of their own are unified in objecting to one specific viewpoint, because it's repellent enough for a lot of people to be disgusted by it. A lot of people hating Reform UK's position isn't authoritarianism.
I get the bashing of Tice and Farage as they are a negative influence on politics
You can't separate Reform UK from them. It has one MP (and only that one for the last three months), so the words and antics of the leadership are most of what amounts to substance for the party.

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
