Can they be any worse, it's obvious the other 2 don't work
Its been 14 years since one of them has had a chance to prove they can change things for the better you need to stop looking back and look forward instead.

Apart from the cult of farage and "not being Labour", what are you actually voting for? Last time we had elections, theI am, i am voting reform the other 2 have had their chances, anyone who can't see this deserves everything they reap
I would also wonder where money is going to come from to fix the economy. I wonder if more VAT is planned by Labour? Can't see many more avenues open. Changing the party in power doesn't change the economy.People are already moving their pension pots to places like Cyprus and Italy were they pay a lot less tax, some are moving their kids out of private schools ahead of the 20%vat addition when labour abolish charitable status, all the money to fix things as to come from some were and it is not going to come from people on less than 30k. middle earners and upwards will be paying

Maybe if you've got to that point, you should consider the possibility that your opinions are racist in the first place.when you get to a point were you are deemed being racist for having an opinion...
Thanks to the 'party of fiscal responsibility' we currently have the highest tax burden since the second world war, failing NHS, failing local services...
Well I can stomach higher taxes if it actually makes a difference.
Growth would help. The Conservatives have serially undermined growth through a series of pratfalls.
It started with ‘Austerity’. Cutting everything we can from public services, money which almost 100% goes to low to moderate pay workers who spend it all, paying tax.
While it did cut spending, it severely hampered growth as a result. What was cut was things like social services has ended up putting more pressure on the NHS.
We could have gone the other way with fiscal stimulus like the US did, which had its problems, but led to growth.
Austerity led to the poorest areas being most affected, although what was blamed was… immigrants. It stoked the Eurosceptic nature of the country, leading to Brexit.
Brexit, a referendum and outcome so disastrously handled it beggars belief. We’re going to leave our position of privilege in the world’s largest trading bloc, because we want to sell more fish to Australia or something. Cue 4 years of messing around. 8 years on, will we ever see any benefits of it?
All of that left the country in a mess that meant that covid and the inflation caused by Russia’s invasion but extra hard.
So what has been the product of the last 14 years?
Have we built more houses (one of the biggest drivers of cost of living)? Nope. Only 1.3 million homes built since 2010, compared to 3 million in the 60s.
Are our schools better (education being the biggest driver of economic productivity and health)? Nope, RAC roofs falling in…
Basically I’m sick and tired of this government not thinking beyond the next week. They’re meant to be the economically smart and literate party, but I can’t see a positive thing they’ve done to address the country’s future. They’re just a bunch of incompetent old Etonians in it for themselves.

So can I, even as a higher rate payer.
My point was that I keep hearing that Labour “can’t be trusted with the economy”, but they can hardly be worse than what has been done to the economy for the past 14 years.
That is fair enough.I am voting for what i hope will be end of the dominance of Cons-Lab because it does not work and i hate the torys just as much as labour, we need a complete reset of politics in this country it's time for change

The four policies it touts the most are lower taxes, net zero immigration, cheaper energy, and zero waiting lists.
Until/if the first past the post system is binned the chance of smaller parties forming a government in the UK are virtually nill.

With conference already having made clear its unequivocal support for PR – and the party now united behind damning criticism of first past the post
I think this is going no were so, see you on election day

This is actually the key bit - do Reform supporters not find it weird that Reform is a private company with Farage as the majority shareholder, it's not a party in the normal sense that you can join as a member. And if it doesn't have membership fees - where does the money come from? Russia? They've been funding other far-right parties in Europe, and Brexit was an explicit policy goal of Putin's advisor Aleksandr Dugin.Mr Farage still wields power within the party, remaining as a director of Reform UK Party Limited, as well as the only person with significant control of the company, according to Companies House.
