No they aren't. You're coming across as a smug, superior liberal, and that's what old fashioned voters (labour, Cons and now Reform) hate. That 'the deplorables' 'they're all ignorant racists' line is what's driving people away from the traditional parties and towards Reform.
You're as guilty of looking back as Labour. This is a new, post-europe world and we all need to come to terms with that, make do with what we have, and move forward.
I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad
unless
a) they voted for brexit
b) voted Tory after 2010
c) is thinking of voting reform
because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous? It is they who are the problem. They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government
Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop
Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.
And the media LOVES Reform.
