Will that lessen the chance of Reform getting in next election?

I just really don't want Reform to get in. People intending on voting Reform just to get control of immigration aren't seeing the bigger picture. Remember Brexit? Everyone thought ''oh, Brexit means no immigrants, that'll solve everything!'' but really Brexit has made everything worse, as importing goods for stores has become more expensive and more stores are closing down (though most would blame Amazon but I think it's more to do with Brexit).

So this time I'm hoping more people would think outside the box instead of just worrying about immigration all the time. That's the least of our worries really. It's the least of mine anyway.

I completely agree with all of this.

If people haven't learned their lesson with the economic self harm that was Brexit, even those who voted leave, and vote Reform in, I'm going to lose my faith in humanity. :skull:

People have short memories

I'm never voting again anyway and to be fair I'm just happy for whoever gets in to just get on with it

I literally don't care anymore

If the people want it I'm quite happy for the people to vote for it

I didn't have the luxury of not voting. I couldn't risk another 4 years of Trump. Yet he won because too many people stayed home or voted for other candidates who had no chance of winning because they considered Kamala Harris to be a Zionist, yet Trump is a super, ultra, mega-Zionist.

He won because the Democrats haven't been doing anything substantive to offer voters an alternative. And even now, look at the absolutely pathetic response that the party has made, you even had that PoS Schumer voting to move the budget forward without getting any concessions at all.

There were a lot of things, the zionism is part of it, the lack of any meaningful effort to get working class men to vote for them, the lack of consistent messaging, the lack of a proper competitive primary, the constant ads demanding money and the previous efforts to chase as many progressives and lefties out of the party as possible so they could go after rightwing voters was also a factor.

It wasn't the voters fault that the Democrats suck. I'm not famliar enough with the reform party in the UK, but I take it that they were the ones that were responsible for all those idiotic cuts to social benefits and the like that had been happening.

Well I can afford not to vote because I literally do not care who gets in next time
