People vote Reform partly because of these lazy slurs people like you make and offer zero alternatives to the people who will vote for them. You would just come across if you did talk to the average Reform voter as a condescending snob frankly.

If they considered us to be condescending snobs then that's on them. If loads of people thought the Earth was flat should we just pander to that? From the G&D by-election I thought you weren't a fan of pandering to people and telling them what they want to hear just to get their votes?

If people want to call me a condescending twat because they can't be arsed to engage their brain, so be it.

Farage dresses like a member of the landed gentry to be clear.

I don't believe I've said there aren't any dodgy fuckers in Labour or the Greens. Sadly they are in all walks of life.

But reform just seems to be absolutely chock full of them.

As I say, crying electoral fraud is at best pathetic and at worst dangerous.

Ooops

The meltdown on the right has been hilarious today. The best one being George Galloway handed the Greens the win by not fielding a candidate and then backing the Greens. Unfortunately the numbers don’t add up. The workers party got 3766 votes at the GE. Even on the assumption that all 3766 voters only voted Green on Galloways say so which in itself is a big assumption the fact remains that even without those votes the Greens still would have won by about 700 votes. Unless you want to believe 3766 voters who voted for the workers party last time would have voted for Reform had Galloway not told them to vote Green, which is just ridiculous.

Bunch of sore losing entitled melts.

Oops what?

As I said, no reports from the council of this apparent electoral fraud. No reports from the police. No reports from any polling staff.

Why wait till after to raise it?

Eh? The volunteer group are entirely independent and said they made a decision to only report after the event as they felt they didn’t feel comfortable confronting the people they suspected until after the election.

Why has Labour now commented?

Look's like Starmer has had all his Union flags confiscated after this by-election mayhem.

That's a pathetic excuse. They didn't have to confront the people they suspected - they should have called the police if they witnessed a crime, and/or report it to staff. They did neither.

Mr Ault reportedly told Sky News that observers “did raise the issue of family voting with individual presiding officers during the day before we left or when they were not busy.”

 

[PVA]

Won't let me quote you there @Nick for some reason.

That's such a non committal statement. They 'raised the issue' - great, so did they report individual instances and offences? Or did they just say 'look out for family voting'


Electoral fraud is such a serious issue, the police should have been called immediately. It just doesn't add up whatsoever.

So these volunteers are lying? The guardian who are now reporting it are lying?

Wow!

It’s clear you are struggling on this one.
