Voting for Ben Habib would be a waste of your vote.  His pressure group will certainly take votes from Reform as I suspect Habib is very popular, perhaps more so than Farage.  I wish they could just bury the hatchet, along with Rupert Lowe, what a force the three of them would be.

Farage 's ego is too big to allow him to share power and attention with too such men .

I want to vote Reform but Farage seems to get bad press.. He doesn't seem very popular..
As I have said many times .. I am not too clever when it comes to politics..

I certainly will NOT vote any of the so called 'main parties'

🤣🤣🤣
The only reason that Farage seems to get bad press is because both of the 'two main parties' would like to see the back of him and Reform!  To me, that is a perfect reason to support him.

The two main parties are a catastrophe .
People will vote for Reform .
They won't like it but there is no alternative .

So in essence you don't like Farage because he is calling out the SNP for their poor performance and you think your only chance of an independent Scotland is through the SNP.

You may well be right in that but it doesn't alter my opinion that the entire UK is going to the dogs and none of the existing parties are even pretending to care any more or at least make no effort to fix the one problem that ensures the decline will continue - completely uncontrolled immigration.

I'll stick with my hope that Reform get their chance. They may well fail. None of the rest will even try.

Fair enough.

I sincerely hope that Reform succeeds, because I see no other option.
I think that their success depends on two things:
- the situation of the country in three years' time;
- the number of people who are willing to vote for Reform by that time.

Any more revelations and we will be voting for the No 10 's cat.

[klondike]

That cat must have seen more PMs than most people used to in a lifetime.

[Michael Rolls]

And would probably make a better PM!

I don't think Farage hates Scotland, he was right in my opinion to call out the SNP. The SNP's policies on women have done them no favours.  The Barnett formula probably needs adjusting too.    

I think a lot of Scots are becoming concerned about the size of the ethnic minority population, in Glasgow for instance, around 20% of the population are non UK born.  One in five!  They haven't had much reassurance that won't increase even more.  So they may turn to Reform.  But there will always be the die hard 'anyone but England' tribe.

Sorry but No, my feelings are about the man himself, nothing to do with the SNP, who I'm not in love with as you all seem to think, it's about Farage himself I don't like him and I don't trust him.
My feelings are quite clear in my previous post and no amount of pressure from anyone will change that.

Tell me this.....If there had never been a Union and Scotland was approached to form one, why should we? What benefit would it produce for us? We already have the assets we need and the knowledge to harness/work with them.

I have nothing against the Scots, but yes, if Scotland wants to become an independent country that's OK by me.
I feel that there has always been an underlying antipathy against England, although we have relatives near Glasgow with whom we get on well.  Much of England is deteriorating now and there is a general feeling of uncertainty for the future.  At my age, and with no children to concern me, I don't really worry.
If Scotland did become independent, would they remove all of their third-world illegals, or are they and we stuck with them?
