I donāt think Reform will win the election, but I also donāt think the outcome would necessarily be bad if they did.
Whereas with Labour it definitely will be, given that Iām working for a living. I remember the last time they ran the country and it was a shitshow.
Not that the Tories would be any better. They can get in the sea the lot of them.
I disagree, if Reform win the election this country will crash and burn. Their economic policies are Liz Truss's on steroids. The NHS will be privatised (Farage himself has been open about this). I suppose if you're wealthy you'd be ok.
I also remember the last Labour Government too - it may not have been perfect, but life and living standards were so much better than they are now. I was always able to get a same day GP appointment and cancer treatment started within weeks (and in some cases days) of diagnosis. This doesn't happen now.
My home town was a nicer place to live in 2010 compared to now. There was a thriving town centre, a local library that was well used, a fully functioning fire station, a police station, sure start centres, youth connexions and schools that had improved massively. Our Labour MP was well known and well liked in the community as he spent a lot of time in the area outside of the election cycle. He fought for every town in the constituency - not just the town he lived in.
Now? The shops have all closed. The Library - closed. The sure start centre, youth connexions - closed. The fire station - closed. The police station - closed. The schools are falling apart due to neglect and lack of funding. Crime is up, unemployment and homelessness are up. Rents are high and the town looks dirty, run down and ruined. The Tory MP only shows her face during election time, she treats her constituents with contempt and only the town she lives in gets the funding for nice things. The other towns in the constituency have been given nothing and have been left to fester.
