Who?

Who?

That's probably the best outcome for most of the post-Theresa May rabble. May they rest in peace. Even if you didn't agree with any of their policies, the Tory Party of yore was a pretty mighty beast not devoid of intellect.

 

[Beebo]

Who?

Exactly.
Most Reform voters will have never heard of him.

Exactly.

I would be genuinely interested to know what % of Reform voters could name a single person associated with the party, other than Farage. I would guess not even that many would be able to name Tice or a single MP or local Councillor, including people they have voted for.

Come on, be fair. Reform Councillors and MPs only last about 3 months on average.

TICE: to tempt or allure [obsolete].

A perfect example of irony.

These defections don't surprise me. Frarange doing well in the polls, Conservatives destroying themselves with a useless ledership and showing no inclinations to change and no half sensible candidates anyway, do they do down with a sinking ship or switch to something that is (for the moment) floating.

Reform might crash out in the future but the Conservative Party already is.

No way to prove it, unless someone undertakes a survey, or, research, but, my guess is that very few votes are FOR Reform, they are AGAINST Labour and Conservative.

A family member of mine is an elected Reform councillor. So i now know two. Although i still wouldn't vote for them.

Not really. Adults can be in disagreement without the childish exploits. Thats reserved for cycle chat...

Good to see that Reform are on the ball with the big issues in Lancashire...
