- “Reform have always been very good in mopping up votes of the disenchanted, the disenfranchised, the distrusting, the disapproving. They didn’t create this wave, but they’ve always been very good at riding it into the beach.”
Reform’s publicity through Nigel Farage has helped them “surge” in the polls, says Deltapoll director Joe Twyman.

I’ve voted Tory all my life. No longer. I’m voting Reform! 🇬🇧
Same here.
Good stuff, that's a vote for Labour ;)
The Conservatives, are suffering because they have been woeful
Reform will do a lot better than people think.
I agree. At least 10% I think.
The worst of the Tories needed a new home. Reform is it.
@@DRKrust492 You mean the best, the worst will stay in the tories with the same dumb scam of the pointless net zero virtue signal as Labour, and make everyone poorer for nothing.
I'm saying they'll get a handful of seats the Labour lead is being downplayed by the media .
@@ScruffyTubbles
They'll do slightly better than UKIP in 2015 so 14-15%
The shock will be if the Lib Dems become the Opposition.
if that happens - then suddenly the entire balance of this countries politics changes
The "One nation" tories - socially liberal but economically capitalist - are either staying with the Tories or not voting this time. With the Lib Dems as Opposition and getting the airtime they deserve - if the Tory party goes right with Braverman or similar after the election many of that 20% or so of the electorate will jump ship to the Lib Dems, leaving Reform and a right-wing Tory party fighting for crumbs over 15% of the vote. Which I don't think is Farages plan at all.
When folk say they haven't made up their minds, I think it means they simply don't want to say.
Because when they all say Reform, the media labels them wacist.
Shy reformers when you pry into it. In my area it used to be a labour strong hold but now people want reform. If you come out and say I'm voting reform they do as well. Scared to be called racist when they arnt at all. Red and blue have betrayed the country and now people have a real choice for once.
No. They are the 33% who won't bother voting.
The ''shy Tory'' helped John Major win a shock victory in 1992. I'm not saying that the Tories are going to win in 2024, but do not be surprised if they do better than the polls are predicting.
No, it means people are waiting until the last moment to vote tactically to keep the right out.
Times have changed their minds today,they said reform are losing votes 2 days ago😂😂
More claptrap
Channel 4 stitch up you mean
Times is full of disinformation, that’s what they’re all about
Theyre getting their knickers in a twist!!
Like any of us believed that. We make our own minds up and don't need a celebrity or the media to tell us.
Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧
Proportional representation is now a must. Get rid of the corrupted FPTP
The Conservatives are suffering from the effects of having ignored the wishes of the people who voted for them. It’s that simple.
Northern voters won't forget labour trying to get us back into the eu and sabotage brexit. They have lost the Northern working mans trust.

🤭
FPTP is done. Referendum on the voting system must be on the cards now.
We've all given it a good run and it's failed us, the two main parties are collectively responsible for the demise of the UK, we don't want that anymore so it's Reform.
Labour and the Cons will never give it because they will have to work harder to win and what political party wants to work harder

And if pro-Russian influences are your thing.
- From the ABC in Australia, right now:
“The five Facebook pages an ABC investigation linked to foreign interference in the UK election have been taken down for deception and "inauthentic engagement tactics".
Over the weekend ABC Investigations unmasked a network of coordinated Facebook pages that had been spreading pro-Kremlin propaganda, with some also posting in support of Nigel Farage's populist Reform UK party - a key challenger to the Conservatives in the July 4 poll.”

@@DRKrust492I found a hole in my shoe. It must have been Russia.
Not everyone has brains and capable of critical thinking. They need the TV tell them how to think.
@@FDCAFOK I am an independent voter in the center who has voted consistently to keep out BOTH the loony left AND the right-wing racists. I have always voted for parties that have made efforts to put the crazies where they belong - cut-off from any power. This election I am voting to keep the jackboot folks away from control.
Sixteen points , he's having a laugh 🤣 Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧
I find all these polls so fascinating and since Farage came back it’s made it even more interesting. I’m itching to see the exit polls at 10pm on Thursday and ultimately how the results pan out.
The question I keep asking about the Conservatives is this:
Why did they not do more to counteract the electoral threat of Reform some time ago when they were starting to emerge onto the scene?
Now the the right-wing vote is badly split, and with our FPTP voting system may remain so for a generation.
The Tories lack of action will surely go down as one of the greatest strategic blunders in British politics. 🤔
Problem is, they arnt right wing at all. Couldn't get a paper between labour and Conservatives, they basically agree on everything. Reform are the centerist party anyone right of the leftwing extremists are called far right.
Sounds about right for Rishi and co, it's not the only blunders they've made hence the issues we have now.
The only serious alternative to the Uniparty, who agree on nearly everything, is Reform. My main attraction to Reform, is its pledge to abolish Net Zero and start a proper program to install reliable power to the National Grid using SMR's (made in the UK).
Voted Reform this morning.
Fascists vote too, they now have two homes
I was Labour for.30 years. Let down by them as a kid as well before I child vote. So 50 years in all. No more, now I see reform are the party of the people, labour don't speak for the working man anymore they are for.gazza, tax for for thier buddies and destroy ambition. 50 years for me to realise they are targeting thw average guy not multi billion companies not billionaires. They are targeting people who are trying to save for retirement, working long hours, days travelling for work. They don't care about small businesses. I realised with ir35 tories hate small business and no covid support. This country deserves better than labour and tory. Time for the rise of reform.
You have ‘foreign interference’ Moscow bot post written all over that
@@gerardmackay8909 Don't talk twaddle, there's a lot of voters of both Lab/Con who are viewing it like that.
@@user-ni6zj3kq8o I’m looking at the wording it’s very cut and paste phrasing and doesn’t feel authentic. I’m not talking twaddle because of course I’m very aware there are ex main party voters who are unhappy and think Reform actually offer them something but this particular post is not genuine of that I’m pretty certain

There is no party to match what REFORM UK can do to save our country.
Obvious racist comment you are making there.
I agree! No other party would be NEARLY as damaging to this country! They're in a league of their own! Glad we agree!
Belch.
I agree, Reform have done an amazing demolition job on the 200 year-old Tory Party.
The only catch is this: with Britain's first-past-the-post voting system this will result in a Labour government in power for the foreseeable future.
Is this the intended outcome?
@modelcitizen2028 strange post, don't you realise the northern labour supports are going to reform? Its only southerners that are labour now, they arnt destroying just Conservatives also labour.

You are blinkered if you honestly don't think Labour voters aren't also defecting to vote for Reform. I have only ever previously voted Labour, but 100% I am voting Reform this time *and* next time. I will NOT vote for Starmer.
That's a lie no one in their right mind who had previously voted Labour would vote for Tory on steroids
Well done both, hope you don't change your minds
@@SlowhandGreg Sorry to burst your bubble greg.
It's not a Labour Party.
Same former labour voter left of centre. now reform
Sunak was finished before the mistakes
That’s because Common sense always prevails over stupidity. Re-exit with Reform MEGA Brit’s.
I will give you a personal anecdotal reason why they are possibly in trouble. I only ever voted once. That one time was for the tories to stop corbyn. It was only this past year I realised me doing that was a waste of time. I hadn't realised how bad things had gotten under the tories over the past 14 years with there being very little difference between the tories and corbyn except over possibly some minor issues and economic issues. I should have voted for corbyn lol. At least things have gotten so bad that both the labour and tory cultural neo Marxist woke mafia would have all been thrown out sooner.
I think the people of Britain are so sick and tired of first past the post, labour and cons they will vote with their hearts and why not give a new party a chance how much worse can they be from Labour/Cons
RISE OF THE REFORM!! You mean THE RISEN!! Vote Reform!
REFORM for me, for us! The other two deserve utter contempt from us!!
Farage could be prime minister within 2 years even less than that, it is very possible and it can happen.But only if reform voters be rational and sensible about how they going to vote and vote tactically to avoid splitting the vote in some seats. The first thing that must happen to get Farage be PM in less than 2 years instead of 5 years long of catastrophic irreversible damage that will be caused by labour if they win majority is that reform and tory should come with sensible and practical deal between Reform lead by Farage and tory on Farage terms to avoid splitting the votes in some seats.this way there will be 2 scenarios in this election either labour win with no majority or tory win with no majority.First scenario if labour will win but not majority or even better might be hung parliament in this situation labour will be forced under pressure to call early election within 2 years even less because they will not be able to pass most of their lefty legislations they intent and their win will be meaningless that means for reform they will have their chance and they will be more ready and can win the election and Farage can be PM within 2 years even less instead waiting long 5 years of catastrophic irreversible damage to our country and society and it will be beyond repair if labour stay 5 years long. As I said it can happen it is within our hand us reform voters but first we need to vote tactically with tory to avoid splitting the vote it is win-win for reform.
He could be ia few days, anything could still happen.
Lol reform will be lucky to get 5 seats.
