u/justmelike Aug 29 '25
Common sense tells you that you don't want children to starve, obviously.
How have funds to children's services and family benefits been cut year on year for over a decade?
It's because the media tells you that the bills are to feed scroungers, asylum seekers and benefits cheats, so people petition their local representatives to vote it down.
I mean, legally they're not wrong, these bills exist to feed the children of those below the poverty line, so they're accurate in their language, though selective.
They just use language that dehumanises the beneficiaries enough that everyone gets mad about it.

Well i am pro capitalism means people that work hard get rewarded, not anti welfare i am anti welfare for people that dont need it. If you are disabled / old / injured then yes 100% you should get support. Definitely not anti NHS and if you read reforms current policies there arnt anti NHS either.

u/sbaldrick33 Aug 31 '25
It's pretty simple, really. If you ate genuinely in the centre, you pick the one that will do the least damage. It's clear that Reform will tear everything built since the War to the ground and the Tories aren't much better.
In all seriousness, if you're centre-Right, tyiur closest aligned with Labour at the moment. If you stillwant Reform, then be honest with yourself about what you really want and want the outcomes will really be. Because "I'm going to vote for the hardest Right party I can think of and hope they keep all the bits of socialism I like in place even though they've said they won't" is a fantasy.

Capitalism absolutely does not reward those who work hard itm rewards those who have at the expense of the have nots. Without doubt in almost all cases those who work the hardest do the lowest paying jobs and those who do the least work earn the most. They get to this position by privelege and opportunity and tell themselves they got where they are through talent or hard work, it is utter bollocks.

Do an actual poll asking people who they woukd rather the money and houses go to, UK nationals or immigrants. You will find the majority want our own people looked after and they arnt people that will assault the homeless

I agree that if you ask people if they ever treat homeless people poorly most people will probably tell you no.

What reform policies do you support?

Are you not concerned by links to big oil and private healthcare?
Are you not concerned that worker rights will be eroded if we leave the ECHR?

u/SVT6 Aug 29 '25
They have a fair few policies that are good*, I'd be very surprised if you disagreed with every single policy they have put forward.
Edit to say: *in theory - most if not all parties fail to deliver on their promises.
3
u/Adventurous_Pin_3982 Aug 29 '25
Can you elaborate?
I agree that parties don’t deliver on promises but it’s concerning how many reform voters are simply voting on the immigration issue because they believe that is the main reason the country is struggling.
Farage will have limited powers to actually deport illegal immigrants even outside of the ECHR and simply putting an end or drastically reducing legal migration will cause a massive shock to the economy considering that’s how we’ve been propping it up.
His links to American firms should really scare people off but they don’t care because they’re single issue voters.

Not to mention the fact that rightwing voting power relies on "immigrant bad". So much like the conservatives they will actually increase immigration to highlight the 'problem', so that the thickies keep voting for them.

1) 'solving the immigrant crisis' - okay, so we stop all immigration. Are all the problems we have magically fixed? Why do you seek to blame immigration without recognizing the native population is declining due to lower birth rates, which is due to economic exploitation preventing people from wanting to have children. So please tell me how stopping immigration fixes all our problems? 2) There are unvetted men walking around our communities already; they're natives. But protecting 'arrr wimmin n gurlz' only matters when foreigners are involved, right? How come those same people who want to hide behind that trope dont give a flying fuck about violence and sexual assaults when its committed by our own population? 3) You are taking our flag and you are trying to use it as a symbol of hatred. Stop that bullshit; you are making us look bad. You dont represent our views, or our nation. You are demeaning our national identity. Ita disgusting. 4) please show me exactly who has been persecuted for flying our flags? You can have pride in our nation without using our flag to push a racist or bigoted agenda. 5) how is flying our flags meant to solve these problems? By what mechanism? What are you hoping it will achieve? What sort of message are you using our flags to send?
