Another reason not to vote Reform UK on 1st May

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

So the thinking is that bigoted voters will be happy to lose human rights provided it allows immigrants to be persecuted.

I wonder how they'll react to the NHS being abolished.

Never forget: Nigel Farridge is a consistently unkind nasty troublemaker

1st thing I would do if Farage became PM is leave the country.

I wonder how many Reform voters understand that such a move would allow them to be arrested and imprisoned without charge, just as Trump is doing in the US ?

It’d breach the Good Friday agreement. So that would not be welcome.

Reform UK is an embarrassment. They were campaigning in our village and I held my nose when I had to pass in front of them.

Oh, and the fact that a vote for Reform is a vote for Putin.

Try asking him what the ECHR delivers. He doesn’t know. His supporters don’t know. It’s just another set of initials, an obscure mantra.

Oh OK let’s vote him in to do even more damage to the fabric & economy of Britain.

Agreed. Prioritizing equality and justice for all requires a different approach. What policies are you most concerned about seeing challenged?

Get rid cos it’s “woke” and you can’t say anything these days.

I have a feeling reform is going to do well next week. ……..really hope I am wrong.

gaisfordurf.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Even if Reform did do well they are in for a world of local council pain.
Day to day running of Councils is done by the Officers not the elected Councillors.

If you are right it’s indicative of the Overton window being driven ever further right lubricated by a supine media.

Even if they don’t they will receive far more publicity than they deserve.

nigelldcouncillor.bsky.social•10 hours ago

He will attract the racists and the anti-immigration votes for sure. He will also draw from disaffected right wing Tory voters as Badenoch is failing big time IMO. Labour have been campaigning hard against him so they certainly see the Fag Ash Fuhrer as a threat. It's genuinely a great concern.

gazzalw63.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Him and the Tories think the electorate want to though and have been messaging that ONLY immigrants will be affected and the mug public actually believe that

hornetgx.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Many, close friends/family of those who see through Farage but flatly refuse to challenge ReFUK voters they know.

This isn't socialism vs capitalism or regulated market vs free market, neither of which usually justify domestic arguments. This is a matter of plain true vs false, right vs wrong.

Question: assume his party gets enough votes for him to be PM. Would it be a majority government like conservatives had and Labour has or will he have to go coalition?

msbluewednesday.bsky.social•7 hours ago

They’re only local elections at the moment, for local councils & mayors.

mdhoefsmit.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Thanks but that wasn’t my question.

depressedreader.bsky.social•2 hours ago

At a general election, the leader of the party who wins a majority of seats is the prime minister. If no party gets the majority of seats, we have a “hung parliament” until a coalition is negotiated or another election is called. A coalition would normally mean that the party who has the *most* 1/2

depressedreader.bsky.social•2 hours ago

(But not necessarily *majority*) of seats is the party who’s leader becomes PM. Hence “if his party got enough votes for him to be PM” either presupposes his party got the majority of seats, or the most seats. If his party got the majority of seats, he has a majority of government. If they got 2/

depressedreader.bsky.social•2 hours ago

The most seats, but not a majority, he’d go into coalition. (Or they might be a coalition against him). Does that make sense? 3/3

gingerweegie.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Or you could just not vote for them as they're far right and you'll be straight down the same road as Trump is taking the US if he gets into office.

nickypattinson.bsky.social•10 hours ago

See the most recent guidance from the Extremely Hateful Rabid Cranks. For some of us, Labour already doing Furridge’s job

julesmt.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Too many voters don't realise what this would actually mean. Farage doesn't care about anyone but himself.

sparkyrob73.bsky.social•12 hours ago

This! In addition taking away the rights of “forrins” means they are taking away those rights from everyone. People need to ask themselves why human rights are enshrined in law and which they would be happy to lose.

julesmt.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Just look at the US.

sparkyrob73.bsky.social•9 hours ago

starmersutra.bsky.social•44 minutes ago

He is a massive tool, and a faulty one at that. Not even my dad would make a tool like that.

davekidd-58.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Nothing Farage represents will benefit normal folk, he’s seen what Trump does and wants his share!

dickiedavies.bsky.social•7 hours ago

The ECHR should be taught at school. Being as Farage isn’t a fan he should be detained without trial, tortured and threatened with execution until he changes his mind!
