We've heard a lot about Reform UK recently, especially as their polling is similar to that of the Liberal Democrats - at around 10%. But, where has Reform come from, and what do they even stand for?

I’m very familiar. Kim Campbell’s Progressive Conservative Party were annihilated in spectacular electoral fashion and eclipsed by the Reform Party of Canada. Bloc Québécois was also a newly founded party and like you say, their party leader became Leader of the Opposition. This was bizarre for a nationalist party that stood candidates only in Quebec. It’d be like the SNP leading the opposition in the United Kingdom. The Reform Party of Canada would be succeeded by the Canadian Conservative-Reform Alliance and this political party would still beat the Progressive Conservative Party at the polls. However, these two parties were splitting the conservative voting base and eventually they agreed to merge thus the Conservative Party of Canada was founded.

Additionally, house prices haven’t been this bad as compared to the average wage since 1876, you must be choosing ignorance to think that not building anymore housing and then importing 10 million people within a decade wouldn’t drive up house prices and that’s just an add on from 2008.

I don’t think Reform stands much chance of replacing the Tories unless they outright beat them at the polls. They will definitely help Labour but the FPTP system and the existing HoL situation give way too much institutional advantage to established parties. This is why the Liberals (LibDems) are still around almost a century after they were replaced by Labour as the main opposition. Meanwhile any future Labour government will make sure to amplify its own advantage alongside the Tories. The best result for Reform is to get the Tories to adopt some of their policies before merging with them (like UKIP did before them). Despite what delusional right wingers think, this country is quite moderate and if anything slightly to the left, so radical policies will not give you a majority. Corbyn proved that on the left and he wasn’t even that radical compared to Reform.

The problem with comparing Reform UK to Canadian Reform is that Canadian reform had a core regionalized base with a huge seat count (Western Canada), even after years they still failed to win many seats west of Manitoba. Reform Uk could cost the Tories many seats and even win a few constituencies. But if their vote spread isn't concentrated enough, they could do well but still not win many seats. (As seen with UKIP in 2015.) There are other factors. The LibDems are arguably in a stronger position then the NDP was in 1993-2000. The SNP isn't as strong as the Bloc was in 1993 either. But I could see an Ontario 1993-2000 situation where Labour sweeps England while the Tories and Reform win only some constituencies. Scotland and Wales would be more complicated to determine, while Northern Ireland would practically be having their own separate election that could barely factor into parliament depending on how well SF does. Eventually I think Reform falls apart in an election cycle or two as the Conservatives regroup and get away from government for long enough that people forget why they even voted for Reform in the first place.

As with so many news outlets you keep using the term far right for anyone who is both traditionalists and considers themselves patriotic. I know these values are looked down upon these days but I do not remember one election where opening up Britain to mass immigration was ever on the manifesto of any party. Many true working class people, who would never identify as Tories feel ignored by both Labour and Tories alike. I know many of you think of the Tories voters as a bunch of toffs but millions of working class people vote Tory because they are small c conservatives but now feel abandoned by them too . To be honest I would imagine most Reform voters would turn out to be working class, maybe equal to the number of middle class Labour voters, as Labour doesn't represent the white working class anymore. Maybe all parties need to start listening until a true right wing party appears on the political horizon.

[@wellardgerrard]

Traditionalists in the age of information, of social media, or AI is called being reactionary. Reactionary politics are far right politics. Maybe you don't like the term but from what you describe you fit the bill. Quite funny that you don't like the term aswell, because it proves deep down you know that it is morally wrong, but yet you still find ways of justifying it to yourself. I consider myself a patriot for instance, but patriotism has f-all with hating migrants, our multicultural society makes me feel proud to be British. I'd say the idea that foreigners come over and destroy our culture is anti-British. The EU is not going to change British culture, the Americans have given it a good go, but here we are, still as British as ever. Also "as Labour doesn't represent the white working class anymore" - Why do you lot obsess over bringing race into everything?

Reform UK is exactly like at least two other political parties I can think of : the Brexit Party and UKIP. These were voting repositories for the sense of grievance and saloon bar racism that were the leit motifs of what passed for Nigel Farage's political philosophy. Reform UK, in which Farage is the largest shareholder, is simply the latest such repository or, if you like, the sewage pipe through which Farage's verbal sewage polutes politics in the UK.

That NHS vouchers solution to long waiting lists in the NHS is beyond boneheaded. Private Health care providers are more expensive and have absolutely no requirement to bill fairly especially when they know that the government is footing the bill. Therefore this extra cost must either be added to the amount allocated to the NHS or removed from it's current budget. Clearly this can't work as a long-term solution without either further eroding the NHS or simply throwing money at the problem in the most inefficient way imaginable! A far better and more efficient solution would be simply to better fund the NHS, set measures in place to ensure the wellbeing of NHS workers while giving tax breaks to the most essential NHS workers, thereby making working for the NHS a more viable and attractive solution. Simultaneously management needs to be assessed on how able they are to ensure that their district are providing a quality service based on cost and feedback from patients and staff.

[@andybrice2711]

It's an idea which seems to work well in practice, both here and abroad. I've had various NHS treatments at private facilities. The NHS has the power to negotiate very reasonable prices. And they don't have to shoulder all the initial investment and risk of building the facilities. It's far preferable to the government contracting out health services. Which is massively open to cronyism and corruption. I don't think a voucher system should replace NHS facilities. But it seems like an entirely sensible way of supplementing them.

[@inbb510]

Semi privatised healthcare is literally the norm in Western Europe and places like Japan. Only the UK makes a big fuss out of it cos "MeRiCA" as if the US style healthcare is the only option we have other than the NHS. Do you understand why the NHS is getting more difficult to fund? Aging population maybe??? Also the NHS is very inefficient due to lack of innovation. Personnel isn't an issue per se. The NHS is one of the biggest employers in Western Europe with some of the most well paid. Many other countries actually attempt to use the capacity offered in private hospitals when the capacity is full but because we Brits have this binary "public good, private bad" mentality, that's what's also contributing to the very long waiting lists we have.

[@Quotheraving]

@@andybrice2711 The scale of the problem (nearly 8 million people on NHS waiting lists, 50% seen in 12 hours and a 90% bed occupancy in hospitals) isn't merely one of supplementation, this is bordering on replacement. At the small scale bargaining power is greater due to simple supply and demand but we're no longer talking about the small scale here and as such the supply/demand equation starts to swing the other way. If we had money to burn and were able to cut down waiting lists by accessing Private health services while also renovating the NHS then I'd be inclined to agree, but this proposal isn't a solution, it's at best a sticking plaster on a very deep wound. The sheer cost involved in alleviating a problem of this scale while simultaneously claiming to reduce public spending means that it's almost a foregone conclusion that this will actually further damage the NHS due to essential problems being ignored and likely lead to it's being dismantled.

[@nothereandthereanywhere]

@@andybrice2711 It isn't a solution though. If you think of it, UK has a large aging population, meaning the facilities should be built to accommodate it. Or do you want the private company build it, let the government pay for it over it + few billions extra to shareholders? NHS will not cope, unless it is expanded due to elderly people - those elderly will coming for decades. Do you think decades of voucher system is financially feasible?

[@Quotheraving]

@@inbb510 "Brits have this binary "public good, private bad" mentality, that's what's also contributing to the very long waiting lists we have." So nothing to do with a history of being chronically underfunded then? "NHS is very inefficient due to lack of innovation."!? If anything consecutive new regimes with conflicting 'innovative' approaches are part of the problem and a leading cause of inefficiency as providers are forced to adopt, scrap and change entire systems! Also at this point let's just admit the Straw-man in the room. We're not talking about a root and branch restructuring of the entire health system toward an integrated private/public system but rather a stop-gap diversion of funds towards the private sector, likely to the detriment of the public. The point being that the claim of "we'll just pay them to go private" doesn't gel with the "We'll tax you less" promise. Now let's examine the "other countries operate as a combined private / public" claim to see if we're comparing apples with apples and whether these are systems that display significantly greater efficiency or whether they just cost more. Currently the No.1 health care system globally is Singapore which operates a combined private/public system. This is paid for by an enforced saving program termed 'Medisave' which takes between 7 - 9.5% of earnings (a de-facto tax) 'Medishield' a national insurance program and 'Medifund' a 3 Billion reserve (of public money) that helps support the system. While it is undoubtedly providing a better outcome than the UK it is also a significantly more costly one for the individual. The No.1 European health care system is Norway but I was unable to find any in-depth data on it other than that it incurs a per-capita cost of $6,072 as compared to the UK's $4,725 (no.10 overall). That's a 28% higher level of funding. However, the No.2 European health care system is the Netherlands' with a per-capita cost of $6,128. This is partly funded by a statutory health insurance system (another de-facto tax) and has fully integrated the private and public sectors into a single system that is in effect public plus. So in conclusion. Firstly these are very different systems that place a higher portion of the cost on the individual. Secondly judging purely by the per-capita costs involved the NHS is clearly a more efficient service ranking as no.10 globally at only 2/3rds the cost. The per-capita cost of these higher performing systems average out at around 30% more than the UK which simply reinforces my assertion that the NHS isn't underperforming due to inefficiency, but rather due to a lack of funding.

However, now as Reform UK, they have had more enough time to democratise and build a less concentrated internal structure yet they have not done that. If they seek to be a consistent political challenger on the “Conservative” Party’s right flank, they must restructure and democratise long-term along with empowering their membership.

4:25 Wow what a revolutionary idea. Make the smaller private healthcare industry fabulously wealthy through taxing the people and removing any form of buyer pricing. You'd be raking it in more than US private healthcare with this scheme. It's also not solving the waiting lists because they're simply far too small. 2019 11.2% of UK healthcare was privately provided. And they obviously don't have massive amounts of people just sitting on their asses doing nothing in private care. I don't want to pull numbers out my ass but it's easier to understand my argument this way. Imagine they have people working 50%(!) of time they could be working. So the average employed private healthcare doctor only takes half-days _relative to NHS doctors_ because they don't have enough sick people coming to them. Then the total private portion of the UK Healthcare system could amount to (11.2*(1/50%)) 22.4%, double capacity with the suggested 100% subsidy. It's not a solution even when the case is just absolutely ludicrous like that. If private healthcare is more busy than that the increased capacity quickly decreases to near zero (75% current active time -> 2.8% capacity increase or private healthcare making up 14% total healthcare). It also relies on the only inefficiency in private healthcare providers being this assumed lack of patients. Very unlikely considering the waiting lists and private healthcares profit motive providing a lot of pressure on it to not idle doctors. How do people fall for this crap?

Leaving us with an immediate situation that needs handling any which way you can. I would hope that further investment in and restructuring of the NHS* to get the NHS back up to spec and on track would put an end to the need for any substantial outspending to the private healthcare industry to take up the slack within 5-10 years. * to get rid of extraneous management layers that add no value to the end 'product' and service provision of the NHS .. like all of the EID managers and staff we never had before (it functioned fine before without them, it can again) that unnecessarily swallow so much NHS money.

Lib Dems did the same when they got a sniff of power in the coalition and immediately forgot all their Policies. labour just as bad in helping ruin the company. None of them can be trusted. If I don't vote, spoil by ballet whatever. Then it's not registered how dissatisfied I am with politicians. Our political system ensures that MPs are not appointed in any relation to the proportion of people who voted. I feel I have to vote reform, not because they will win or even get more than 1 MP, but because politics and the system is broken and I feel I have to register that fact!. The argument vote reform get labour, is hardly a compelling reason to vote conservative...proving politicians still "don't get it".

They will get my vote. It is hard to imagine they could fk it up worse than the Labour or Tories.. At a certain point, trying ANYTHING different is better than doubling down. We have done that enough, time for change, good or bad.

What's with all the Reform bots

"trying anything different" *votes the same people with the same ideas, because the bus got a new colour*

@@_jpg Yeah, discredit MY opinion, because you disagree. I also think your perspective is stupid, so why bother even saying anything? I am not going to agree with you, I am not going to change my mind, so why bother? I don't give a fk who you vote for, you should learn from that perspective, kid.

[@SubjectiveFunny]

@@_jpg So do nothing? Or do you want to vote for some obscure party that has literally no chance of winning? Small steps, Reform first, to break the 2 party trend, THEN you can pick whomever you like. Think smart, more than 1 step ahead.

Stop this WAR and I will vote for you! I will only vote for the party that stops this war!

It was George Galloway who coined the phrase that the Tories and Labour are two cheeks of the same arse , I think voters deserve better than the two party same arse system. Proportional voting is a much better system that we use in Aus, however the only thing I don't like is during an election the parties are allowed to hand out how to vote cards where they recommended where your preferences go and I think this should be stopped as it appeals to the donkey voters. As far as the House of Lords is concerned, it's an utter non democratic joke, the people should decided who is 9n the upper house. Just look at the aConservwtive party which installed an unelected David Cameron in the House of Lords but he then able to be part of an elected government. That is pure a riducle state of affairs.

The UK allows parties to be companies? Really questionable! In my country the constitution mandates that a party itself must be structured democratically, which obviously bans normal company structures.

@@MrSilencer16Germany. The mandate for the democratic structure of a party is written in Article 21 no. 1 of the German constitution.
