Reform

[monkers]

Its not a fantasy. It points the finger at the two main parties have failed the British public.

Tories screwed it up, Labour are actually doing a better job

Of screwing it up.

I dont see anything Labour can coke up with to turn the ship around.

If we as a nation are dragged/volunteered into war. Labour will not stand a chance come next election

This is far more than electoral cycles, there is real hatred of the two main parties

I'd say are still failing, but I accept your point. Both were quite poor in opposition. Brexit has left a hell of a mess. If anyone thinks there is some magic trick that puts the country back together again, they'd better speak up now.

What the polling data shows is that Reform are the party of older and old white men. If you view the polling data through that lens you then begin to understand the reasons for it.

There is a very large following of youngsters to Nigel Farage.

I know a few early twenties(kids) , some are quite despondent about the UKs future.

Several have left to go and live and work abroad.

One of my children is looking at the USA as the company they work for has a USA branch.

You are familiar with the electoral cycle though Steevo - make all those 'tough decisions' in the first year while blaming it on the predecessor gives four years to claw your way back. The pattern is too familiar to ignore.

Make all the tough decisions? Like caving to the junior doctors and failing to save a few billion from the welfare bill by 2030?

‘Don’t know’ answers excluded. That could be the bulk of the answers. Why exclude them? Hmmm…

I think your sarcasm detector has stopped scanning - those two words were paraphrasing and clearly placed in quote marks - 'tough decisions'.

Well if you say so. I confess I didn't notice the quote marks, but even with them, and in the context of your other comments it's hard to read it as a sarcastic dig at Labour's failure to take difficult decisions.

Labour? No, it's most politician's rhetoric.
