Hobsons Choice Posted July 4 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4 7 minutes ago, rjw63 said: Girl I work with is a tory voter who's going Reform. Strange really as her proper job is banking, she's obvipusly not a cabbage but simply will not entertain Labour. Not going to be a great night for her Morgan McKinley, an executive recruitment consultancy, did some research last year which indicated that since Brexit there are 79% fewer banking jobs in London. Sounds like she is shooting herself in the face by voting reform, which is, let's face it UKIP after they've scrabbled around for something else to use to scare people in Kent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 32 minutes ago, Genie said: It would unravel faster than a Truss mini-budget. Day 1, they declare a national emergency for the boats. Then what? Day 2, they announce they can’t simply return immigrants to France like they said they could (otherwise it would have happened already). Day 3, they have to admit that “believers” is not a thing they can replace the entire 40,000 home office staff with. Day 4, “this is not the reform I voted for” Farage resigns and leaves the country to fall apart. Can’t agree with the way that ends, I’d go with: Day 5, Farage leaves Reform, which he says has been infiltrated by bad people from the establishment, to set up his new party and a go fund me page. The new party, which was registered with companies house 2 years ago, is actually a limited company. The BBC spends 4 years making sure Nigel has a platform to maximise sales for his new party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate I think it’ll help Labour win the seat but it is a slight worry just how stupid so many people are. They can for vote for who they like, but to be sold the lies is the worry. I do wonder how much of this is just bots / whatever the new AI is that's replaced Bots. If there is a deluge it can't be real can it? I guess we'll know soon.

Isis was also created by the west and it’s another reason to vote for Reform I will be particularly upset if they get more than 1 or 2 seats This does scram Russian Bot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt's standing for Godalming & Ash, Greg Stafford is Farnham & Bordon. Hunt's result is expected between 3- 4am. It gets the name of Rees-Mogg's constituency wrong. Mercer's expected at least a couple of hours later than that suggests. It may have some things right, but the stuff it's got wrong it's got very wrong. I'd also guess that the virtually unknown David Johnston is in there either because someone's just looked down a list of surnames and thought it was Boris Johnson, or it's a red herring like dictionary writers putting in a made up word to see who is using their work...

Ultimately I think vast majority are people that voted Tory in 2019 so I predict Reform will comfortably be second in the Tamworth election.

cheltenham_villa Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I would say my social circles and co-workers dont talk openly about politics so its hard to gauge where peoples thoughts are. Talking to a few people, the consensus ive seen is that people are upset about how covid was handled but im not convinced they are disgusted. People would like the NHS to be better but are mindful that debt is so high, how much can really change. I work in financial services as do many of my friends so typically labour arent trusted there. Im in the Tewkesbury constituency which has held a strong conservative majority. I think the Lib Dems will run them close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted July 4 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4 30 minutes ago, MCU said: I know this won’t apply to anyone in this thread but for those passing through , Mental we even have to say this, but a polite reminder that you are not racist or fascist if you want to vote for Reform , no more so than Labour or Conservative. Dont let anybody (certainly strangers on the internet) convince you otherwise. Vote for who you want to and what you believe in. (even if it’s the Tories). Theres this strange agenda in play where you are more socially accepted the further left you are and vocalise it. Might not be racist yourself, but you'd certainly be supporting and allying with a lot of them.

I've searched the Tory incumbent based on the seat they won in 2019 (although I think it's been updated for boundary changes/constituency name) Edited July 4 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
