Non - Reform UK

Although the town council elections for Poole, Broadstone and Bournemouth dont affect me , I'll still be watching for the results. When Mille Earl announced that town councils would be introduced against the wishes of the majority of residents she also stated that the new town councillors should be impartial in their political views. She recently announced ced that she, herself, would be standing for the Newtown area. No political bias there then. Allowing the Lib Dems control of both the 3 town alliance and the new town councils will be seriously damaging to your pocket !! As BCP try and push more and more services on to the new town councils without serious opposition to them they will have carte blanche meaning higher precepts every year with no reduction to BCP council tax charges. In fact, BCP will continue to raise council tax charges year on year at the maximum allowed by the Government. It's scarily bad for BCP residents pockets ! In Broadstone, Lib Dem councillor Peter Sideaway stated that he didn't agree with the new TC's and wouldn't vote in favour of them , and indeed stand as a TC councillor if they were introduced. Recently on a local Lib Dem flyer the very same Peter Sideaway was pictured grinning next to Vikki Slade as he announced he was standing as a Lib Dem town councillor. Vikki Slades husband , Paul Slade, a current serving BCP councillor for Creekmoor ,also announced the will be standing as a Lib Dem town councillor for Broadstone. No political bias in the new TC's then Millie. I expect they will win some councillors and their puppets , the Poole People's Party, will also won some but I'm expecting lots of votes for Reform with most people fed up with Labour and the Conservatives standing in only a handful of wards as they were fully against these new TC's. Thursday will be interesting indeed.

Deliberate. Wind the lefties up with things that they know will cause backlash and let them do the legwork for you. The brexit bus is the best ever example of this. Perfect campaigning strategy.

So by being honest about what they are they wind up the left...all a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.

I see they could be in trouble with electoral law following their announcement yesterday.

As far as the stormtrooper thing goes - they aren't being honest or dishonest they are trying to wind up people like you. Doing a good job of it by the looks of it.

As far as the other announcement goes it's one of the most irresponsible policies I've ever heard of and I hope they get put back in their box over it. Tbf it's almost certainly not an actual policy, just more devisive guff designed to trigger people on both sides of a manufactured culture war.

It didn't "wind me up" I found it funny. I pity them and their supporters.

I don't see anyone else who thinks their polical adverts are worthy of comment. Engagement is what they are after and you've done their job for them.

Have I? You voting for them then?

What a stupid comment.

Edit: you are literally commenting on it.

You know how engagement works right? You are literally reposting their adverts. Doing their legwork for free.

I didn't repost their advert. I posted a screen shot on a Bournemouth forum. You have commented and engaged as much as I have on it. But hey, let's argue about it for 2 days, you would love that.

Maybe ask them if they have a spare Reform sandwich board you could put on and stand in the local High Street. You could reach even more people.

Imagine voting reform/ukip/brexit and passing on a shitter life to your kids, all because you failed to take all the advantages you were given in a modern country, and then, blaming it all on desperate people arriving on blow up boats.

He appeals to a lot of elderly 'get every one of those immigrants outs' voters who currently receive a pension, so no surprise he refuses to engage in the triple lock debate

Rightly or wrongly, his party appeals to a much wider demographic, given the sh1t show the current and previous governments have lead us through.

Restore party likely weakens their vote, more than anyone else.

Hilarious that people who think Greens are in anyway a realistic option, sneer at Reform not being viable. They're an absolute bunch of lunatics.
 
I think some people might be surprised at how many first time voters could potentially vote Reform at the next GE.
Some people seem to think it’s just a load of over 50’s bigots.

Because they can promise the earth and have no record of failure. Unfortunately for them they are constraints ed by the same fiscal issues as every other party so they will.get the same results just with different spin.

I actually think winning big on Thursday will be detrimental to Reforms chances in the GE because it will only highlight how they are also useless when it comes to solving problems
