Why Reform UK Is Unlike Any Other Party

Seriously, it's the bulk sides, the love handles, if you will. Many, many life-long Tory voters are fuming right now. There is no conservative party in the UK apart from Reform UK.

Seems a little similar to what happened to Canada’s conservatives in the 1990s. They faced a MASSIVE (178 seats down to 2 seats) defeat in parliament. The Bloc Québécois formed official opposition and the « Reform Party of Canada » came in third .

In the UK Labour will likely win a 1997 style landslide and the Liberal Democrats could go back to around their 2005 levels and form the official opposition.

[@jackwilliamsmith8734]

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.

It is the main source of our issues. A lot of vacancies that the gov has been trying fill with mass immigration is quite literally sourced from the mass immigration itself. We’re not getting the doctors or engineers we’re getting dependants, meaning that for every NHS job that needs filled and is filled by an immigrant, they bring their whole families (who create more pressure on schools the NHS and other public services). 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.

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.

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.

@@ZakGriffiths-zq9lj Regardless of what words people choose to use, if we have a party that is constantly trying to change the status quo and push it further to the left (the Labour Party) and a party that is only trying to maintain the status quo (the Conservative Party), the Overton window will only ever shift to the left. This is the major problem with current British politics. And if this is the case, you have to concede that the Conservative Party doesn’t hold any real fundamental values.

[@ZakGriffiths-zq9lj]

@@baileyharrison1030 I agree that the conservative party does not hold any fundamental values, except that of gradual change. That is what it is to be a conservative: to move with the times, only slowly and cautiously. I also agree that this means the overton window moves left as a general rule. This is because the left and right are defined in terms of their relationship to hierarchy - the left opposing existing hierarchies and the right supporting them. Democracies with a full electoral franchise, by their nature, ought to trend towards a more egalitarian stance as people vote for their interests (which, for the majority, is equality). Further, the political culture, at least in the west, since the French Revolution just seems to prefer the left. Equality is an attractive idea I suppose. Therefore, you’re right, there is no major political party with a platform of actively rolling back progress and changing the status quo to recreate abolished hierarchies. The reason there isn’t is because, post-WW2, there was general agreement in the West that trying to do so was immensely dangerous. That consensus seems to have broken down to some extent, as evidenced by the rise of reactionary parties across europe. So you’re right, the reform party is the only party offering a genuine option of undoing social progress and moving society backwards. That is exactly why I think you shouldn’t vote for them

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm in support of people like Reform. I support nationalist movements all over the world. People deserve to have a home. You can't just take somewhere and claim it to be your own. That's happened in the past and most people think it was wrong now. We can't go back in time to fix it and we can't just kick hundreds of millions of people out of their adopted homes now. Taiwan, America, Australia, New Zealand, etc. The UK is the homeland of the white British. It's just as wrong to take it from them and erase their culture as it was for the Europeans and the Chinese in the cases from the countries I just mentioned. Why are we so obsessed with repeating the failures of the past? Some want revenge. But why should our children pay for the crimes of our ancestors. We don't believe the things they did. Our children (in some cases) haven't even been born yet.

My fear in the longer term is that the Muslim vote splits from Labour to form its own Muslim Party and which then holds the balance of power in a minority Govt. I agree with Lee, the Torys have let down the Red Wall in a big way. The Torys are completely visionless, cowardly and incompetent for how can an 80 seat majority be so poorly managed?

[@scarfholdgraphicsmedia9501]

That's an irrational fear.

[@LukeofSmeg]

Did you know that the UK tax niequality is actually far higher than european peers. In the UK 40% of people pay no income tax and it's far lower in scandanavia. You might want the rich to pay more which is a fair opinion. But don't go thinking that taxing the rich more is how other countries have managed to fund social services. In the UK 80% of income tax is paid by the top 5% of earners.

Providing a voucher for private service to people can't get NHS care in a timely manner is actually not a bad idea. I mean, it's only a band-aid for the NHS' problems, a first step towards privatization, and probably very costly, but in the short term I think it would be a very effective band-aid for people in need of care. Edit: proportional vote and house of lords reform is also based, actually, though their exact plan could be less ideal. Still, several surprising Ws given they're "anti-woke" morons.

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.

[@shoootme]

The thing is they will never have to face the music with any of there policies. Cut NHS waiting time to zero sounds good, but how? Are they going to give more funding? No they said they want to cut spending, and the voucher for private healthcare is money from the NHS to a 3rd party, meaning the NHS will still have the same if not higher cost. So they can sit there yelling get good, keeping themselves in the news cycle and getting paid to appear of GB news, but never having to implement any policy.

[@bishboshs]

hint...they know they aren't going to be in government so they can promise whatever they want. Same with the greens and other small parties.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Cutting healthcare wait time to zero is a pipe dream, even the awful US "healthcare" system doesn't accomplish that unless you're extremely rich.

[@davescott7680]

Their plan to cut wait times to zero, by handing out private credits. Is genuinely the most moronic thing I've fucking heard as a policy. It'll cost the government vastly more, while fixing very little. If they want a radical reform proposal, I'd go with tearing up the PFI contracts labour started and Tories continued. They're what's really fucked the NHS.

For now, as abhorrent as some of Reform UK's policies are to me, I think they're good for politics in this country. Short-term, the right-wing of politics has been split, which levels out the playing field and allows parties to have more nuanced policies.

STV without PR. PR just empowers extremists by being kingmakers in coalition negotiations as it makes it harder for a major party to get a majority government. STV without PR favors more reasonable and moderate candidates at the expense of extremists. It also keeps territorial constituencies which means you have a MP who is local to you and hopefully understands the issues effecting your local area.
