The Reform Party are certainly having a big impact on both national and local politics. The Labour Party annual conference was dominated by attempts to smear Nigel Farage and those who vote for Reform (like me).
Another example are the events at Kent County Council (KCC) – Bromley where I live used to be part of Kent although technically it’s now part of a London borough and hence part of the Greater London Authority. Many local residents would like to depart from London and the dictatorship of Sadiq Khan.
Recently KCC have voted to rescind a climate change declaration and now have plans to cancel Net Zero targets. With KCC now dominated by Reform Councillors they won the vote by 50 to 21.

Why are people voting for Reform? In essence because they would like to see new ideas and policies implemented while feeling that the Labour and Conservative parties are stuck in the past. They also feel that both Conservative and Labour parties have broken promises to tackle excessive immigration and the latest proposals are still too weak, while leaders of both parties are seen as ineffective.
It’s certainly time for some changes!
