Until very recently I was living within the constituency of Havant. The wards where the 2 Reform UK candidates won were both in Leigh Park, a huge ex-Council estate within Havant Consituency. Support for the Tories in Havant has always been massive. The support for Brexit was/is huge, and there is a sizeable percentage of people in the borough who are deeply racist and xenophobic. Up until now there has only EVER been a Tory MP for Havant. They have AWAYS won by a MASSIVE majority. However, the percentage vote in favour of UKIP at the 2015 General Election was significant. That support then switched to the Brexit Party, and has now switched again to Reform UK It came as no surprise to me that the ONLY place in the whole of the UK where any Reform candidates were elected was Havant. I've lived in many places within the UK but have been very distressed by the sheer degree of racism, bigotry and xenophobia in this locality. Possibly the most popular political figure in these parts is Nigel Farage, but Boris Johnson still enjoys high levels of popularity, and Suella Braverman and Priti Patel are adored. The demographic is of a local electorate the majority of whom are not even educated up to A-level, let alone up to or beyond degree level. People read the Mail, Express and Sun, and those who consider themselves a little more intelligent read the Telegraph. In this area a high proportion watch GB News and watched Talk TV when it was still on air. The overwhelming majority bought their Council Houses from Thatcher at knock-down prices and have been devoted to the Tories ever since. Needless to say, 66% of the local electorate voted Leave in 2016, and a substantial majority are still VERY pro-Brexit to this very day.

If we had PR I'd vote Green every time. But with FPTP it's more realistic to vote either Labour or Lib Dem, dependant upon where you live. For my part, I'm disenchanted with Labour, but in any case in my current (new to me) constituency, the Lib Dems represent the best chance to get rid of the local Tory MP. It is perhaps notable that the current Tory MP here has a net worth of more than £200 Million. I for one don't want someone who in theory represents my wishes but who in practice cares ONLY for the super-rich and is entirely out of touch with the needs of ordinary people. .

Listening to your comments that Reform UK do not have the wherewithal to field candidates in all constituencies throughout the UK I am reminded of a true story which bears this out. I'm pretty certain it was the 2015 GE before Reform UK was founded. One of their predecessors, UKIP, were campaigning for a referendum to leave the EU and various other free market, right wing policies primarily aimed at forcing the Cameron led Tory government to yield to their pressure, something Cameron ultimately did. We live in the Batley and Spen constituency, soon to become Spen under the Tories' gerrymandering of reorganizing boundaries. The now late Jo Cox was standing for Labour. A local married couple intent on voting UKIP went to our local Polling Station to cast their vote. They presented themselves at the desk inside and were given their ballot papers. They went into adjoining booths. A few moments later a cry of despair came from the guy. He called out to his wife, "Carole! Carole! There isn't a UKIP candidate. What are we going to do? Who are we going to vote for?" Not surprisingly he was told to pipe down by the polling official in charge and was warned it is illegal to discuss voting intentions inside the station. I've no idea who, if anyone, they ultimately voted for. Apart from highlighting just how stupid some Farage supporters are, it also shows that smaller Parties, with niche policies aimed at a narrow band of the electorate, can attract media coverage disproportionately high to their actual size and importance. I am thinking particularly of the media exposure afforded to Nigel Farage over the years. They were able to spread their election message across the nation but didnt have the infrastructure to field candidates in every constituency and made at least two supporters look like a couple of dicks in the process. I'm wondering whether this same couple might end up in the same situation at the next General Election if they head off to vote for Reform UK only to find there isn't a candidate representing the party.I True story and for the record I am delighted to say that Jo Cox won. A tragic loss to her family and her country. We have every faith that her sister, Kim Leadbeater, will win in Spen and will continue to serve as our MP.

Even people who like Reform UK will have seen how Sisyphean the task of, “reforming,” immigration laws is. They’ve seen the Tories take L after L in the courts, trying to execute what (to a Reformer) must look like rather mild changes to the law, and Sunack’s humiliating, “purchase,” of a SINGLE asylum seeker to send to Rwanda, because he could only send the people who had already been refused asylum and who were willing to take £20K as a bribe, rather than be sent back to the place they were fleeing. So those potential voters are likely not to want to waste their votes on a no account party that isn’t going to move their needle anyway, aren’t they? Not that Reform voters are that bright or logical, so who knows?

They’ll endorse the Tories before the election after extracting concessions. Politics is hard, much easier to grift if you’re a grifter.

Many of the moderate Tory MPs in the Party are in marginal and not so safe seats. Many of the right wingers to contest the Tory leadership (Braverman, Badenoch and others) have 20,000 plus majorities and are thus more likely to survive the cull after the General Election, where their numbers could be anywhere (according ot the polls) between 50 and 150 Tory MPs left, meaning over half the Tory contingent in Paliament will have gone, a similar situation to 1997, when that actually happened. Thus, when it comes to picking a Tory leader after the General Election, the remaining MPs are more likely to be right wingers and so it's all but inevitable the next Tory leader will be another right winger, or an even more extreme one than Sunak.

I have a question. If Tice decides to "stand down" enough candidates for the Tories to do well. How will he be 'rewarded'? If there is a(n untraceable) pay off will Tice (as CEO of Reform) get all the dosh?....and liquidise the company?

A good vlog. I consider myself a more moderate Conservative with a mixture of what would be considered as: right wing views in some cases and left wing in others e.g. Power generation, steel making water and sewage should all be renationalised and yet immigration should be dealt with far more aggresively for economic migrants and criminality by visitors should result in conviction and deportation .

reform won't cost the tories the election but they might cost them second place, which they can do on 8-10% if the Lib dems do well

people are pissed off with the tories, and they wont vote labour, so it is either reform lib dems or not vote. labour is going to win, so a tory vote will be a waste, you can show how much you dislike them by voting reform which has policies the tories had, but never implemented, and make the toties think again about taking their voters for granted, something they accused labour of doing

If Reform was to go in coalition with the conservatives, i think it would kill Reform's support right then and there, because most of their platform is: "Everyone else sucks especially the conservatives who i think are socialists" And then they prop them up in a coalition would most definitely turn off most reform voters because it goes against their principle

@@johnrussell3961 I can agree with social libertarianism, but economic libertarianism is terrible, look no further to our past, Victorian britain! You know when children had to breathe in tar from sweeping chimneys and people were being given barely enough to even live and forced to work in factories with no safety guidelines, forever smog and was so bad charles dickens wrote a lot about it, oh and don't forget significant crime! Hasn't worked in the past, definitely won't work now because public services are on their knees, we desperately need to shift wealth down, so i don't know why people keep saying to try it

I've no time for Reform or the Tories, but Labour or the Tories don't "peak", as you put it, on election day because of running good campaigns but because the electorate are basically scared into choosing the least worst option of the two parties they know can win the election, that's how it works in a first past the post system. Sure it is possible whilst campaigning to shoot yourself in the foot like Theresa May did, or even Ed Milliband did, and conversely bringing out good policies and good or effective campaigning can also make a difference but most of the time people who might have said months out that they'd vote for a fringe party in protest will revert back to one of the two biggest parties. Now it might be this that this time the Tories have anyway seen to be lost so a reasonable number of Reform voters will stay with them, but I don't expect them to pick up many (if any) seats even with this happening.
