Reform Party are the only party to stop, not just the boats bringing in millions of illegal migrants, but bringing in them from third world countries.
Not fleeing danger or wars, but fleeing poverty they and their country has allowed to become poverty stricken, what these scroungers want is to get everything on a plate while us mugs pay.
They then want to change the uk into a replica of the country they fled to begin with.
VOTE IN THE UK REFORM PARTY, NOT THE RUSSIAN BACKED LABOUR PARTY OR SUNAKS INDIAN BACKED TORY PARTY,
IF YOU FAIL TO HEED THIS WARNING YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT.

Reform offer some hope for our system however if they cant get enough seats to be a force but enough to stop the Cons then the useless Labour lot will get in !! Frightening really that the likes of Diane Abbot and wich way the wind blows Starmer could be in power. Vote Reform
@roberthandford3261
December 19, 2023 at 1:37 am
There is a lot more to this than TLDR are making out. The Conservative’s are NOT Tories! That is why the majority are turned off by the direction it has gone in since Cameron was leader of the party. In fact there was very little to choose from between Cameron and Blair who both pushed Centrist policies. If people do their homework (go to the library as most of the material has been removed from the internet) they will see that Centrism, Liberal Elitism, Social Democrat, Democratic Socialism, Democrat and Cultural Marxism are all tied to the Frankfurt Marxist School. The school just happens to have been started in 1923 so this is the 100th anniversary of the movement and why there is such a big push at the moment by social justice and crt activists who are using divisive tactics to split the working class vote and are doing more harm to minority groups with their insistence in putting minority groups both on the map and on a pedestal. Remember Orwell’s warning in Animal Farm?! “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” Minority groups just want the same level of equal. This is no longer about left and right, in fact when someone on the left criticises the woke agenda they get labelled as being right wing. This tactic is used to disguise the fact that the Liberal Elite are not left wing either. Not all middle class people are elitists but all elitists are middle class and they will exploit anyone who they see fit to better themselves. The Conservatives are controlled in the same way as the Labour Party by the liberal elite so a vote for Reform is a vote against Both Labour and Labour 2.0. The only way to bring about change is to allow another party into the race because the two main opposition parties to Reform may as well merge. Reform has members from both sides of the fence because they realise that it is the working class ideology that unites us and there are far more working class people in the country than Elitists so it is time for the majority to boot out the politicians who only represent themselves for good because now it’s our turn.

If reform get into power they will do far more damage than the Tories. They will make the Tories look like benevolent Marxists.

Britain what was once, a place of unity and a beacon of society, it now only cement's the view that our very identity is being destroyed by multiculturalism and left wing policy. Britain is now a place of divide and greed. VOTE REFORM and once again we may see an age of COHESION and a Nation to be proud of.

Reform are the tories lol. Every pre-election the CONservatives invent a POP UP POLITICAL PARTY to split the opposition vote. Nick Gleggs sham of a Lib Dems were such a party – Nick went around every university campus – swearing he would fight the looming course hikes in tuition fees. Within days of getting under the thum of the tories (his natural home) the fees shot up…lol. Reform will promise the world but would run back to their creators (the CONservatives) and they would just blend right in. A VOTE FOR REFORM IS A VOTE FOR TORIES.

Reform will just pull votes away from Tories to labour .Like in the recent by election .

Its way beyond me why brits don’t vote Reform UK. They know what the present government done. Yet they are so set in their ways and just don’t have the balls to vote for a different party.
It seams they would rather sit and watch this country self destruct and that’s pretty sad.

The premise of this video goes under the assumption that all Reform voters are ex Tory voters which isn't true. These votes going to the Reform Party are probably voters who wouldn't have even bothered voting for either of the main political party's.
