I'm not so sure. If they can avoid a clownshoe campaign there's no reason why the vote won't collapse to an extent that they don't pick up seats. Yeah, it's different for sure, but they will be an easy list vote for plenty of constituency Tory voters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be at the expense of Tory list seats if they did that though, depends how much those voters want a Reform candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) 11 hours ago, The DA said: Apologies if this has been mentioned already (I'm not reading back through this cesspit) but Twitter suggests there might be a scandal brewing and that the election might need to be re-run. It looks like a number of the Reform candidates might not exist and have been created purely to take votes away from the Tories. This thread is interesting. I do like a goo scandal. Hope it's true. The real scandal is the media not pursuing the fake Labour Party - can they produce any evidence that they are a socialist party?

HTG Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 There's a fair bit of smoke around the existence of some of their candidates but if the Electoral Commission don't have the remit to investigate, it looks like it's a matter of referring to the police. Surely to f**k this needs to be tightened up. The couple of examples I've seen are young candidates with close to zero social media presence. There are 2 things that caused concern about that. Firstly, Reform put massive emphasis on social media and secondly, candidates from this generation who have no social media presence are close to unique ... except they're not if they're standing for Parliament with Reform. Even if they're not investing in a lot of these seats, you'd expect more detail than can readily be found. The Facebook exchange about the seat in Dorset might be fake news but, if so, it should be easy to find the candidate and clear it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tribalistic Tory/Labour mindset just leaves people unseen and voiceless and I think by voting elsewhere it serves to WAKE UP the 'establishment' and gain back a little power and respect for the electorate, take away the Tory/Labour vote and just WATCH them try and woo you back, they might actually try to put the UK first for a change BOTH Tory/Labour expect their vote, they are self entitled, they manipulate, even the voting system is rigged in their favour, they are historically incompetent and crooked and it's simply time to vote for someone else1 If I had a window cleaner who was poor but the fellow down the road was worse I'd sack them BOTH!!! Stand as a man not a weak, manipulated fool. I will be voting REFORM UK and I think they will do very well.

I can understand his POV on that post, but that sentence about the window cleaner is a word salad. I've seen that Stand as a man comment before as I sometimes read or listen to right wing content. Quoted as advice its something to strive for if you are looking for self improvement in that direction. People who quote it back are often missing something in their own lives, feel stepped on all the time by those around them or lacking independence in their lives, life passing them by. eg in their 30's and still living with parents, which sadly in this day and age is all too common. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
