I Totally agree Reform are undoubtedly controlled opposition, The Blob seem to have something that they can pull out and wave at Nigel, maybe an indiscretion from his past, that they can wave at him when they think he needs reigning in, there is nothing to like about Tice and soon to be Reform Head Honcho Yusuf will, once Farage retires with his bloated bank account, begin to steer Reform in a direction that will favour a certain demographic that is set on controlling the UK.

Lesser of two evils is not an option. You’re spot on, David.

I agree - like a few others who should know better she seems to have drunk the Farage Kool Aid. I will be voting for Homeland in May as there is no UKIP candidate. I am done with Farage and his lies and await to see what Lowe and Habib come up with.

None of the smaller parties stand a chance of winning though. Reform is poised to make a significance impact. Once they rid us of the uni party, we can form some strong alliances with other patriotic parties.

Sorry to say but you are still deluding yourself - as I said there is no "us" or "we" with Reform - it is a ltd company controlled by two men. And the idea that Farage & Mo will be forging alliances with patriotic parties when they have called many of them "that lot" and "far right" is ridiulous.

Well, we shall see. However as it stands Reform’s out performing the three main parties and quite possibly going to form the next government. Whatever their final structure they’ll be a vast improvement on those who’ve governed before. 👍

UKIP had their chance. I was an enthusiastic member since 2007. However with a heavy heart I left after they turned on Gerard Batten then Richard Braine partly for endorsing Tommy Robinson. To compound my disappointment they allowed the Hamiltons to join and take up leading positions.

Reform is a grass roots phenomena. Nigel may have feet of clay but the membership is what will drive it and formulate its direction.

UKIP is completely renewed under new leader Nick Tenconi who is very strong on issues such as mass deportation and has said he would welcome Tommy Robinson in if he wanted to join.

Reform is the very opposite of a grass roots movement - it is a limited company run by two men - Farage and Yusef. There is no way that the subscribers of the company will ever be allowed any input or say.

Katie Hopkins always makes me laugh even when she’s being naughty - which is quite often! I have enjoyed her for some years now. She’s not always right but she is always rational.

I agree with you though, David, we shouldn’t be forced to choose the least bad option. It’s a terrible situation. Nigel has just brought out a video telling his followers what he thinks they want to hear and e-mails have flashed around the members from County Leaders to make us have confidence in them again before the polling in May 1st. It’s contrived. They know the other parties are too small to offer any competition.

The fact is that the Right is fractured beyond repair because of Nigel’s unaccountable private behaviour towards more substantial candidates. Even if they get into power, WHAT ARE THEY REALLY? Will Nigel do a runner as usual and leave us with Mohammed as Prime Minister? That’s my suspicion.

The only party I will vote for is the party that supports the destruction of the party system.

Vote for the LOCAL individual who supports the LOCAL people and doesn’t follow any party whip.

The way I see it, currently the only option IS voting for the least worst option. I don't trust Yousaf and Tice either, but I'll hold my nose and vote reform in May. Better than not voting or voting for the other packs of shysters. It's the only chance we've got to dismantling this horror show. It's a start.

What really worries me is Yousaf showing his true Islamic allegiance and worming his way, by taqiyya, to become PM.

Well, the UK is spiralling down fast, & something needs to change or it'll keep getting worse (under the current gov't). So just being willing to listen to all voices is a first step. Labour doesn't want any dialogue or protest,& shuts it down with rancor & insults. First, dialogue. Next, try to pinpoint what's causing the spiral. Next, propose solutions.

Hi David. I agree with everything you say in your post. And then some. It's a good friend that has the courage to tell a friend your honest point of view and support them to reconsider.

Katie triggers my spidey senses.. Has done for a couple of years.

I won't follow anyone, because a popular figure says to. People with the loudest voices and all that..
