From Labour, Tory and the Lib non dems.

Well that's interesting.

 

Is it because they sense the party is likely to become Tory Mk II instead of tackling the issues they were built on, do you think ?

Reform certainly does straddle the political spectrum.

You can't help wondering what are they more interested in, the state of the country or their political career? In the UK the two things don't necessarily go hand in hand.

[Old_Geezer]

If it wasn't for the difficulty of proving the result, I'd advise folk to put a wager on the latter.

 

Strange that it's become such an attraction to politicians when a) still riding high in the polls, and b) apparently making a change of direction to be more like the uniparty and going quiet on the necessary actions that drew public support in the first place. It seems individuals from practically the whole political spectrum can justify moving over to them now.

Yes, Labour and the Lib Non dems love to paint Reform as a "far right" party but it's nothing of the sort. It demonstrates that even left wingers are concerned about the invasion and islamification of our country and the wider west with the assistence of many of their colleagues.
