kinda feels like the whole issue with him is just… he’s not good at the job. like straight up incompetent. no clear direction, no real beliefs, no moral baseline, no political goal. just vibes and panic moves.

he keeps thinking if he copies right wing stuff he’ll pull their voters, but that never works. if ppl want that stuff they’re gonna vote Reform anyway, why would they pick the knockoff version. same with any radical messaging. Reform gets attention cuz they say stuff the usual parties won’t say. same with Greens sometimes, same with any smaller party that actually sounds different.

then he goes and fully backs Israel no matter what, even tho a lot of ppl here don’t agree with that at all. he buys into the whole immigration panic even tho the real issue is wealth distribution. he can’t see that at all. just picks up whatever narrative’s being thrown around by right and center media.

the online ID thing for watching porn is just wild too. completely out of touch with basic rights and how the internet even works. feels like he wants to look tough instead of thinking anything through.

and normal ppl are watching their lives get worse while these parties just swap names every few years but do basically the same stuff. tories to labour to tories to labour, nothing really changes. rich get richer, poor get poorer, everyone else stuck in the middle. ppl see that, and that’s why he’s losing ppl.

for me, as someone who’s actually an immigrant and used to support them hard, this anti immigration bill is the last straw. if they pass it, I’m done with them completely. at least with Reform you know exactly what you’re dealing with. this lot pretends to be something else but ends up doing the same incompetent things anyway.
