You will find that issue in all 
Also, I'm sure the other political 'parties' kick out their undesirables PDQ, rather than suggest that they just don't post their real opinions on social media after having a few glasses of wine.

Yes indeed.
Though particularly so in the irony seen with self-righteous supporters of left-illiberal parties, who think they can see what other people should think and do, which is basically think like them - after which the rest follows. As they're with the angels sitting on a moral pinnacle high above others, this is reasonable.
Reform has views on political policy which some disagree with, and even with a question mark on the thread title, it's more of the same thought policing. Being intolerant of other viewpoints is a symptom of what's going wrong.
Ah yes, the tolerant right.

Just vote for populists.Next time it might be different
Time for some new blood to come in, like, er [checks notes] long time Tory donor Richard Tice and former Tory party deputy chairman Lee Anderson

hstewie said: Yes Cranked and isn't it funny how you only seem to have had this epiphany having pinned all your hopes to Brexit only to watch it turn to st at which point you'll eagerly vote for the next bunch of populists who tell you they can make it work.
Talk about malleable.
You seem to have a growing habit of focusing individual rather than the core elements of the debate. That aside, you do understand what drives people to populist parties, the failure of the. mainstream parties to deliver something towards the electorates wishes and hopes. The lamentable failure of both Tory and Labour over the past 50 or so has led to the current rise of Reform U.K. t at which point you'll eagerly vote for the next bunch of populists who tell you they can make it work.Talk about malleable.
So far as brexit is concerned, it’s not a failure although I think the political classes could have worked harder to bring more benefits. Early days though as our new independence continues to establish.
Never lose sight that your opinion and political belief carries no more weight than mine.
Talk about blinkered.

Don’t fret so, Reform U.K. will not be in power this time around, they will need five more years to develop their policies.

it’s easy to see the division spreading across the Country. Little wonder the calibre of politicians has been dropping over the past couple of decades, who on earth would want such a job?
Reform's high caliber individuals will put an end do this culture war nonsense and get on with governing I'm sure.

Don’t think we’ve had this one yet, but Reform does churn them out at some pace!
