What kind of person votes Labour, but then decides that reform is the party for them?
It seems very odd, despite Labour policies. I'd expect disenchanted voters to move to the greens, libdems, or even the tories, but to go reform seems very odd, to me.

If you live in a neglected and run down area and want change, surely there's other alternatives more aligned to your political views than reform?
Labour won on the strength of non-Labour voters. They don't have enough natural Labour voters to win, so they have to carry other voters who don't normally vote Labour.
Some of the latter could be tempted by Reform.
If you're a centrist who wants the tories out, I can't imagine you then thinking that farage and reform represent your views.
Many see themselves today as “better” not because they are but compared to others, they think they are.
Despite that, I do consider their domestic policies the best, along with the Lib-Dems.
I'm as surprised by reform voters moving to Labour, as I am Labour voters moving to reform.
It's like me voting reform to get a tory incumbent out, and frankly, I'd rather shit in my hands and clap.
In our hyper-fragmented FPTP system, they're the ones who hold the balance of power at a GE.
(Just because something is a foolish reason doesn't make it
not a reason.)
Remember how many "lent their vote to Boris Johnson"?
This will be exactly the same. They will claim they aren't Reform, but just "lent" their vote to Farage.
A third of Libdems voted leave as well ...do you berate them?
Same with SNP
Maybe it's you who needs to look at yourself mate and see you're wrong?
Just a thought
That will show you why I used Labour voters and not others.
