Well you better hope they don't end up like the Scottish Greens who turned into a super controlling perverted eco-marxist party with intent to destroy all business and peoples livelihoods...oh they are a lovely bunch, look them up if you dare.
Great description of those child mutilation obsessed utter deviants.Anyone voting Green needs their heads looked at and their hard drives checked..

Don’t like old people much do you?
Old people are fine. The reactionary, populist, right wing views clung onto by *some* old people (moreso than younger people) and often expressed on here are not.
Must be stressful. For those around you.

Honest question for the Reform voters.
Are you voting for them because you want a government lead by Nigel Farage, because the Tories are a complete mess, or something else?
Can't speak for others but I'm hoping eventually it will lead to a complete Reform of the entire political system of 2 party politics but not holding my breath.Are you voting for them because you want a government lead by Nigel Farage, because the Tories are a complete mess, or something else?
Do those intending on voting for Reform know it's a company and not a political party? Farage is the majority shareholder and chair. It's not in the slightest bit democratic.

Companies operated for profit. They also are democratically constructed so that the leader is elected and policies are agreed. If any of their representatives get to be MPs their sole role in parliament will be to do what Farage tells them to do i.e. progress his business interests. It's about as undemocratic as you can think.

I would not imagine that somebody who approves of Reform l will be in the slightest bit concerned about anything like that.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ref...
Many people like the idea of dictatorship on their own terms (or what they imagine to be their own terms)

I'm prepared for the terrible pain of pulling the whole edifice down and restarting with new rules; proper salary for MP's, no 2nd jobs, no paid lobbying, term limits. Yes, I know it'll never happen, but with the existing system it'll NEVER happen.
They are Robber Barrons.

I'd be okay with a change of how votes are counted.Tearing the whole thing down and starting again is another matter. That's how rich countries turn into tin-pot dictatorships.

Follow-up question: why do you think what would come after would be better than what exists now?

It should have garnered a lot more publicity than it did, because the Scottish Extremists are still making capital out of the goodwill that exists around the Green movement that they are officially no longer a part of.
Scottish Greens vote to sever ties

For clarity, you desire a revolution, out with the royals and the whole governmental system of the UK?

That is a good point. Follow-up question: why do you think what would come after would be better than what exists now?
Many countries have had revolutions and their political systems still remain broken to this day. Including Russia, China and Iran.
It can both be the case that liberal democracy is failing in the west and that there is nothing better to replace it.
