We've heard a lot about Reform UK recently, especially as their polling is similar to that of the Liberal Democrats - at around 10%. But, where has Reform come from, and what do they even stand for?

Well given the Tories have been engaged in a decade long process of self-mutilation by going through four PMs in a row while enjoying a majority, someone was bound to show up to pick up the disaffected voters on the fringes.
And the entire party is “fringes”
Has anyone ever wasted such a big majority before? I remember after the election it was generally believed it would take Labour at least 10 years to recover. It's amazing that the tories used their majority so badly
A majority that Boris obtained and not the Tory party. They got rid of the goose that lays the golden egg and along with it the Boris won majority.
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. All we got is high taxes, more welfare culture and mass immigration that is set to make the true British a minority on their own island eventually.@@andylewis7360
They had absolute power, true electoral dictatorship. Every party's dream scenario. And they absolutely f*c*k'd it.@@jamesarnold7253
I think you missed out on their immigration focus. Although they aren't explicit about how they will achieve it immigration is clearly the hill they would die on and the main source of their support.
Are they explicit, i.e. detailed about anything?
They are just a bunch of xenophobics.
@@michaelblower7363 Still better than bunch of self-hating virtue signalers...
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.
They likely didn’t mention it because immigration is their campaign issue whereas the video concerns their actual agenda.
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.
Yeah I think TLDR made this comparison before.
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.
@@jackwilliamsmith8734 is that this same party under Pierre Poilievre that seems to come in power soon ? i heard that Trudeau became very unpopular, i know that edgy comment sections with comments from the whole anglo saxon world under Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan videos must not be confused with what the canadian people actually think, but with spiralling housing crisis and cost of living crisis, to which Trudeau's answer is to not touch its neoliberal doxa while pretending to be progressive with crazy and ridiculous identity politics that only gets the right wing pissed, while at the same time the opioids crisis is spreading in Canada.
And now they have an 99.9% chance of winning an majority victory. Go Pierre

Ah yes, the mysterious "cut spending" that comes out of nowhere, it is just the tories all over again lol
Same with immigration. Until they deal with the need for immigrants reducing immigration will never happen.
They've actually given a whole bunch of ways quite, specifically in many cases with numbers and all, in previous interviews. I couldn't tell you if those numbers and strategies are accurate and good, I'm just a comment, but they do seem to at least be trying to be more legit than the tories
It's the classic right wing politics of 'cut spending but spend more'
I actually disagree on this! I believe that there’s an incredible waste by governments and councils. And that they could easily make budget cuts, that if done correctly wouldn’t have any effect on the economy or individuals. To be fair as-well £5 out of every £100 sounds pretty feasible!
Remove immigrants. It has costs us countless billions and social damage.
Reform are very strategic, as they know they don't expect to win the upcoming GE, instead expect Labour to win inturn permanently ending the Conserative party and taking their votes.
Btw good on TLDR for actually visually showing their policies directly from their site and not making it some ambiguous biased description.
Simply existing right now is strategy for them? What? 😂What policies aswell? Last time I checked they wanted to introduce healthcare stamps. They haven't got a clue.

They are a bunch of chancers and clowns. But carry on people keep voting for shite.
People are outraged at Reforms ideas, but if the Conservative Party were actually Conservative, then there wouldn't be a need for Reform UK. As it is, there's basically no difference between the Tories and Labour. Hard working Brits feel like we're being squeezed and squeezed; with the main 2 parties offering zero policies that benefit us.
Conservatism refers to being cautious and careful in your actions, and rejecting rapid change. Attempting to halt immigration trends overnight, cut government spending by orders of magnitude and directly interfere with primary and secondary school curricula are all very radical policies. They are not conservative policies, they are reactionary - aiming to reverse current trends through radical change.
Social conservatism champions the same views as it did in the fifties, in respect to religion & demographics, the main issues for people who call themselves socially conservative, is inflexible and fringe.
So they want to give a huge amount of money to healthcare (and a lot of it to private healthcare) while at the same time do a massive tax-cut. That promises to be a budget as epic as the one Truss the Lettuce came up with.
This is possible as there is lots of money going to projects and departments that we don’t need a lot of our tax money is being wasted reform uk is promising to look at where the money is being spent and any project or department that we don’t need or is a waste of money they will either reduce its budget or get rid of it saving money
Someone needs to study the "Leffar Curve". Lowering taxes does not need to create a lower tax income, usually it inceases after a while.
@@thomasbootham2707 You don't REALLY believe that there are departments we "don't need" that are receiving tens of billions of pounds... do you? Because it would take tens of billions to fulfil those promises.

Say what you will about Farage and I'm not exactly a fan to put it lately. But the guy knows how to read the political situation and take advantage of it. One of the things he has said recently is the Tories might be facing a 100-year kind of event where they might be completely teared up in pieces and Reform UK taking the place as the opposition to Labour
Can't see it being Reform at the next election, there's a very good chance it will be Lib Dems (or maybe SNP if they can recover themselves).
The non-populist right wing is being replaced everywhere else, it would be no surprise if the Tories suffer the same fate.
Farage is a professional grifter. Being cunning and be able to read your vicitim (in this case the right wing electorate) is a necessary job-skill.
its easy to be a goblin, its someone else that cleans up the mess
It does help when you have the target audience he has. Other parties have to have well thought out policies and plans, he can just rattle his keys to keep their attention
Me at the start of the video: _I thought it was just another vehicle for Nigel Farage's ambitions?_
Me midway through the video: _Oh, he's gone._
Me at the end of the video: _No he isn't._
They will split tory vote so much its now probable that they (torys) if labour and LibDem vote tacticaly could be left with only 9 seats
I'm not saying you're wrong but what is this based on? I haven't seen any polling/by election performance from reform to suggest they're actually capable of securing that many votes. Even in 2015, when ukip got 3 million votes, it didn't make that kind of impact.
oh no not the precious tories who fall over each other to sell out their voters time after time
Every time our hopes rely on the general voting population voting "tactically" I assume we're going to fail. Again.

The people that brought you Brexit, proving that you can fool the same people twice as long as you change the party name.
Reform had nothing to do with the implementation of Brexit. They were not in parlement or government. The implementation was set to fail due to the Tories fucking it up, like everything. Putting people in charge of Brexit that voted against it. Dirty tricks.

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. Corbyn proved that on the left and he wasn’t even that radical compared to Reform.
Why do rich people hate renewable energy so much? Do they make money out of the existing system or something?
And why is it the people that stand to benefit from it hate it too? Ignoring experts and demanding we do the opposite to what they advise. It's a crazy world full of crazy people.
Many rich people in the US invested in it so it’s probably just UK millionaires aren’t as caught up
it makes no sense to hate them a priori, but we must take note that they are not sufficient (except for nations that can rely on hydroelectricity) and that in many European states they live on subsidies.

How to win an outright majority in the UK:
-Pledge to lower net immigration with a Danish style policy
-Pledge to house young people prioritising those that are already married and have children
-Tax cuts for overtime
-Tax cuts for key start-up businesses in fields of green tech, weapons engineering, computer vision, robotics and AI.
-Tram networks in the North
-Federalisation.
-Change income tax bracket to tax free until the first £25000 and offset that with 1% increase in cooperation tax for "old" industries.
"Federalisation"😭😱😰🤮

Vote reform get hate not hope.
something very wrong with the graph at 17 seconds. Add up the percentages of all the parties at each of the monthly iterations and there is no consistency, or there is missing data.
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.
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.
Also "as Labour doesn't represent the white working class anymore" - Why do you lot obsess over bringing race into everything? You also think Labour need to listen until they become a true right wing party? You are barmy mate, absolutely gone.
Well said.
Im patriotic, and I hate reform. They will not fix the country, only cut taxes and increase spending, something that really doesn’t work. Labour will actually do “patriotic” things, like funding the military, making bank of nationalising transport systems, increasing employment by opening factories for munitions etc.
@@ArmUkraine Reform have nothing to do with my post. But if you believe in Labour I'm afraid you will end up very disappointed.
@@ArmUkraine I'm 110% behind arming and supporting Ukraine, especially given the recent lack of support from the US (hopefully that will change soon) but the UK seriously does not need increased military spending. We are in a cost of living crisis, mental health crisis, NHS waiting lists through the roof. Dealing with those issues and the massive black hole of legalised corruption in the British economy is more important, more pressing patriotic issue than increased funding for the military. That doesn't mean the UK should stop giving Ukraine arms and support though.

@@Hector-bj3ls Where are you getting this data from? Why do you thing reform did so poorly in the last bi-election then? I don't know 10 people that have fallen for their nonsense. Nobody I know thinks the problems/issues facing the UK are as simple as the vague solutions offered by reform.
As much as I loathe Farage and his cronies, and even though I consider myself quite left wing - there are few items that I agree with, and in general politics does need a massive reform from the "Punch and Judy" show that it is, especially in terms of never seemingly being able hold people to account for all the massive amounts of corruption we have going on!!
The reform party seems like more of a punch and judy show than the main parties.
I’m glad that you highlighted the issue of its organisational structure with some important questions. I very much agree that The Brexit Party benefited from its centralised power structure as a political startup and this somewhat autocratic arrangement was in many ways essential to their huge initial success electorally. However, now as Reform UK, they have had more enough time to democratise and build a less concentrated internal structure yet they have not done that. If they seek to be a consistent political challenger on the “Conservative” Party’s right flank, they must restructure and democratise long-term along with empowering their membership.
Reform UK is exactly like at least two other political parties I can think of : the Brexit Party and UKIP. These were voting repositories for the sense of grievance and saloon bar racism that were the leit motifs of what passed for Nigel Farage's political philosophy. Reform UK, in which Farage is the largest shareholder, is simply the latest such repository or, if you like, the sewage pipe through which Farage's verbal sewage polutes politics in the UK.

Waiting for £350 mil per week for NHS 🕛🕐🕑🕒🕓🕔🕕🕖🕗🕘🕙🕚🕛🔃
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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?
@@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.

STV without PR favors more reasonable and moderate candidates at the expense of extremists.

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?
I think their long-term strategy here ( if they have one) is to keep expanding the private healthcare service while making the NHS even more defunct, so that eventually you get a US-style healthcare.
Well maffs is hard, innit?
@@CartoonDrama44Exactly. The plan is to turn it into US system and royally fuck anyone whose not rich.
I think it's more a case of "this is where we are, the NHS has been gutted (starting under Blair if not before with all the 'public private partnerships' he instigated that burdened it with so much debt / interest repayment) isn't getting things done on time, people need treatment now not in six months so how do we make that happen".
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.
They don't believe it, I bet you 80-90% of their voters have no idea about this policy. They are buggered come election time when it faces scrutiny. Could be a distraction maybe? Get the press worked up about that, when they know there own voters don't care about that policy only "getting rid of Johnny Foreigner" - Although they don't have any idea how to do that either without authoritarianism and breaking international law.

Ive never even thought of Voting Reform, until reading this, however the tax cuts, i don't know how that would help britan, i mean i love increasing the income tax threshold to 20k, that would MASSIVE help the working class, I'm not sure about the 70k cuts as this would mean less money for the UK can people on even a 45k a year job can live pretty comfortably (maybe [i say this with current experience in the east midlands] not in London), however this also means people with middle to upper middle class incomes would have a little bit more disposable income which could mean they don't have to work as much for the same income they are on, or this could increase their holidays, which would see an improvement in mood and happiness, less burn out, which equals more higher productivity, so either or, it should definitely be tested I think 👌🏼
