I wrote this in December 2024, long before Restore was even a thing. I tried to warn Reform that they were pushing voters away. I know some read it, because they immediately blocked me. This "splitting the vote" is nonsense. Senior Reform members have spent 2 years telling their potential voters to fk off - so off they've well and truly fked. If Restore didnt exist, they probably just wouldnt vote. You can pay for all the polls you like, but the best measure of the public feeling is actual votes: mayorships and bi-elections. The tangible, real time, data is there, for everyone to see, yet every single time, they take the wrong message from it, and double down on verbally abusing voters. And every time they do, they lose more votes. And then they do it again. I listen to people all day every day, and they say the same thing over and over. Even this morning they're claiming they've removed "the bad apples" from the party since the ITV documentary, without seemingly realising, the country, the electorate speak like that all fay every day. They're calling their own voters "bad apples". They have to recognise, they are not in a position to police opinion. No party gets to dictate to people what they're entitled to think, feels and say. And if they keep telling the electorate they're guilty of wrongspeak, they'll find someone else to vote for - its really very simple.
