I suspect its a case of we all know reform won't get in anyway but don't want to vote labour or conservative. It's not even tactical voting other parties because if polls are to be believed labour are going to win by a massive majority anyway.
Interesting that many young 18-29 yr olds aren't even registered to vote. They soon moaned about Brexit though.
Dont vote, can't moan.

Its a real difficult decision a vote for reform kicks the tories into touch but lets starmer into number 10 which is worrying. He wont last long as leader, Rayner and some of the other cronies are hard left so starmer will be outed and get replaced and then we will have real problems. One news programe reported on Starmer apparently saying they would get on and build over everything, of course we know that they hate and spite us country bumpkins but they will house all the illegals and let even more in i am sure. Like i have said before we have been through a pandemic the like we have never seen before and everyone forgets who paid them during lockdown which has caused most of the crap that we have experienced of late but we were warned what would happen and dont forget starmer wanted us locked down for an awfull lot longer as well. The economy is pretty stagnent at the moment but what does'nt get mentioned much is that we have gone from the seventh largest manufacturing country to the fourth largest it will take a while but we will get the benefits eventually from this, Inflation is now virtually back to normal, The Bank of England should have reduced interest rates a little but I reckon this has also been a political decision by the BOE who should remain impartial but quite obviously isn't, Liz Truss did have some good ideas but it was the Spivs in the city controlling the markets that did'nt like it, We need even more manufacturing and more agriculture and a bit less off the city interferring and betting on everything. We might have a big service sector but their margins are utter crap at least with manufacturing you can control your margins which will always be better than the service sector. In reality i think if you are not a Labourite you have to vote for the Tories if enough people do this we may at least end up with a coalition that would keep Labour on the straight an narrow.
I would love to see reform get some power but in all honesty it aint going to happen this time around and you maybe sure if Starmer gets in they will change the voting age and alter the boundries or the way we vote so we can never get rid of them! I am still politically homeless but i think i will have to vote blue with a very heavy heart.

I think I have to agree with you there. kind of wanted to vote reform because I like some of there policies but also wanted to rebel from the tedium of the other 2 parties rhetoric.
Anyhow I have decided I'm voting Tories for almost exactly the same reasons as you. I also been reading up on Reforms 'migrant tax' essentially taxing foreign workers at a higher rate than British. This doesn't sit well with me- we are going to have migrants in this country and I have no problem at all with regulated immigration consisting of hard workers who are paying into the system and have done so for a long time- I know this as I'm married to one and for the last 20 years she has worked bloody hard, runs rings around her British colleagues always paid her tax etc doesn't get to vote and suddenly reform will up her tax over her colleagues- nah they won't be getting my vote, hard work should be encouraged not penalised. Kick the useless scum out who are happy to spend their life on the dole

Quite agree about the tax.
We need genuine immigration but not what we are getting.
No chance of us getting a blue mp in communist SE Wales where I am even with the bunch of bricks running the Cardiff s**t show.
So reform may have a chance although probably not

We need sensible immigration.

Sweden. Slightly ironic as that is a country that is seriously having to lie in a bed it's made with regard opening the doors to all and sundry.
Lass that works for me is from Sweden. 2 degrees in Sweden and then retrained in her early 30s as heating engineer with us. She’s marrying a Cornish farmer. Bloody good work ethic and head well screwed on. Better English skills than any of my English lads! She’s had lots of buggeration because of Brexit. Couldn’t even get a UK driving licence without giving up her Swedish one IIRC.

8 years or so? I know quite a few Danes... we must be popular with them.

I’ve heard of people blaming all sorts on Brexit but not that - I reckon she secretly enjoys it but doesn’t want you to believe she’s not a ‘nice’ girl….
