OMG what a statement, I live amongst a very very diverse socio-economic population but as a couple we are both middle income earners with degrees of the traditional type (mathematics and optometry) so reasonable education. We are Reform card holders and whilst you continually spout supporters of Reform are just concerned/blame everything on 'foreigners' the facts are Labour had 14 years to get there act together and the polls suggest they are not performing well by large numbers that voted for them. You and other posters are quite right that there is little substance at the moment to Reforms proposals in government but the landscape and possibility of achieving some aims after another 3+ years of the current government would be based on a narrative the BBC could produce!. Immigration, welfare, public spending, speed of net zero are some area's of focus for Reform how they fare time Might tell.
In conclusion I'll end by suggesting I'm not 'FIK' I'm not that 'SKINT' I like my neighbours who just happen to be foreign nationals and I'm open to another political option.
I'm just telling you the facts of what I've found while working there.
I don't speak to everyone in that community and of those that I do most we've never touched on the subject of politics. Frankly I don't bring it up as its a surefire way of creating tension. But of those that choose to talk politics all the ones who say they're Reform supporters are lower income, low education.
That's not saying all lower income, low education people I've spoken to there support Reform. Many don't. It also doesn't mean there aren't any people there in higher socio-economic groups who support Reform - maybe they just don't want to reveal that they do. As I said I don't try and talk to people about politics.
As you've decided that Labour's 14 years in opposition is enough for them to get their act together and come up with a plan and implement it in a year, I will remind you that Farage spent about two decades campaigning to get us out of the EU. Is that not enough time for him to have got his act together and come up with a plan as to how to make that work, and tell people how to make it work? Nearly a decade later and we're still waiting for the benefits he said we'd have...
You're entitled to support whoever you wish, but if your hope/expectation is that Farage and Reform have some incredible plan to sort out the country, I suggest you spend the next four years preparing yourself for a huge disappointment should they win.
