In some ways that's a relief. Our local (Tory) councillor usually concerns himself with bin collections and the smooth running of the village fete. It was a shock when he put a eulogy to CK online, accompanied by broken heart emojis.
My first reaction was despair, but maybe education is possible.
Labour need to put the spotlight on Reform's performance in office (MPs and councils), but more importantly start improving people's lives so that voting for Reform seems like a risky thing to do.
One theme I keep seeing online is along the lines of 'the other parties have been rubbish, let's give Reform a go'.
Arguably as with Brexit - if people feel traditional politics / politicians are doing nothing for them or making their lives worse why not vote Reform?
