The Reform Party racism row.

[Borg Refinery]

Reform UK's polling has increased 5% since May 31st so everything they're doing is increasing votes

IMHO, a lot of voters basically want to hear things that are anti-woke, anti-liberal and at times, racist, because they are bored of PC woke stuff and at times I can't blame them (not the racism part, the anti-woke part), it's just that some take it too far and get very overtly racist.

Be it stitch up or accurate I am puzzled as to why anyone would think it would lose Reform votes.

I think it might even work the other way and increase the vote as the Ch4 'sting' was obviously just an attempt to discredit with a set up .

The individual cases where candidates have been quoted as saying things that make the wokenites mad are a bit different . Im sure most of it is taken out of context but Reform have to distance themselves from it as to reduce the flack .They don't really have the time to defend individuals ,everyone would have known the score that they needed to be squeaky clean .
It will lose votes in those wards but hopefully wont do any damage elsewhere
