Well after reading that I have to say I reckon reform is the one I will be voting for seems to make a lot of sense to me

I don't understand how they would pay for any of that. Seems to be far to many carrots being dangled, making us all donkeys.
They also seem a bit to aggressive in there policies which I wonder is rocking the boat or something more sinister. I want to like them but I think they could be quite dangerous.

I'm the same. Certainly agree with much of their manifesto but something about them/Farage just seems a little off to me, don't think Id trust them tbh. Not that any of the others would be any better I'm that regard
Was watching the debate on BBC yesterday. Quite honestly I dont want to vote for any of them.

After reading it…….I paid my £25 and became a member.
I don’t see them winning many seats, but I can no longer vote conservative and would rather die than vote for VAT on school fees!!
For me, the Reform party manifesto is more akin to a proposed direction of travel. I see it as smaller state, smaller taxes and smaller regulation. Look after you own first. You the exception of Farage, Toce and the former Tory party deputy they would have very little experience in their ranks. I see that as a positive rather than set in the ways of the existing political establishment!!!
Also a big 2 fingers to the all the other parties as they are not offering anything other than more of the same Sh!t State we have now!!

Yep agree 25% of that would be a good start.
It might even make the other showers buck their ideas up

I don't trust politicians period but I think their manifesto is the way I want the country to go I honestly don't think they will be able to fulfil all of that manifesto for a while unfortunately

It's the heavy nationalist view and starting to hint at blaming others (boat people) for all our problems. Obviously I like the manifesto and the ideas but can't help being cautious that they are taking a leaf out of 1930's German politics book.

i dont trust farage at all i never liked the way he pushed the leave vote then jacked it in when it went through, to me they are all a bunch of stunts that dont give a flying fck about the average guy half of what they say is what they think you want to hear, i dont think the immigration will ever be under control as most coming here think of it as the land of milk and honey, they pay nothing in and get what many of the poorer population never get a look at.

Reform’s manifesto doesn’t need to be affordable as they have no chance of actually winning. However, they have a good chance of gaining a substantial number of votes from a massively disenfranchised public and potentially (hopefully as far as I’m concerned) becoming the opposition, which will give them a voice that needs to be listened to in parliament. They might even start to hold our next government to account if we are lucky!
They will definitely get my vote.

Yes . Could make a good opposition party though as others have pointed out.🤔

Personally I have always voted conservative but I just don't think I can this time around and as for labour whenever they get in they cost me too much and when they go they leave the country bankrupt so it's as much a protest vote as anything

if Hitler hadn't lost the plot, become a power crazed megalomaniac and wanted all he could see and more, Germany would be in a very different position today ... he did do a lot for the benefit of the country .... and then completely lost it
