''I changed my vote at the last election from Reform to the Tories at the last minute for fear our MP would be ousted. Alas he was and we ended up with a LibDem MP as Reform took a good proportion of the vote.''
I also voted for the Brexit party (now Reform) in 2019 as the Tories had failed to deliver Brexit , but continued it with support for Reform this year as the conservatives were not being proper Conservatives. Unfortunately Labour always win my seat regardless. Transition away from the non conservative party to a proper Conservative party was always going to have the painful GE outcome, but without transition we would be left with the status quo of having no centre to centre right party to vote for which has probably been the case since the departure of Maggie.
The best scenario now would obviously be having only one proper centre right party available to vote for, but that would only come about with cooperation from 'Reform' , and that cooperation would only come about dependant upon how the make up/policies of the conservative party looks like over the coming years. Without the conservatives becoming proper Conservatives again , the alternative to cooperation will be a continuation of a split vote allowing the Socialist to have power for a very very long time.
