Excellent responses to my comment. I agree and leaning to vote Reform unless something dramatic happens in the next few weeks!

Farage is igniting voters interest. I'm astounded at how many people I've spoken to who are the most unlikely Reform voters (some have never bothered to vote before) but they get it and have become ardent supporters

Reform all the way for me. They are the only party that makes any sense, especially if you are a landlord. Why would any landlord vote any other way? Tories don't have a chance, and even if they did, what have they ever done for us, section 24 is an abomination in any language, Labour would only hurt us more and I really don't know what the Liberals or greens would do to us, I completely understand why a lot of landlords are exiting the PRS, it is such a toxic investment.

I made the effort to go and meet my local Reform candidate Kabeer Kher - and I think you can see from his name that he is indian. He told me that he had been welcomed with open arms by Reform and had not experienced any racism whatsoever. He was approachable and has a common sense approach to politics

I have also had dealings with George Freeman - our local Mp who complains he cannot make end meed on £118k salary plus £1500 pcm who only seems to act in the interests of his own career and agrees with the RRB (despite me asking him how it will help renters and being unable or unwilling to answer this) when being presented with all the facts re damage RRB is already causing

It's deeply worrying when people present the Guardian newspaper as the view we should take note of, when it is unashamedly left wing and a right wing hater newspaper. Then to bring up what happened when they were children of 15 as the evidence of certain behaviour in adulthood is equally worrying. At that age views and ideas are developing and very often misunderstood. To use the race card when his closest colleagues are Ben Habib and others from what you might call ethnic minorities is further disturbing. Those that wish to hate will find a way. I find it far more worrying that the likes of Angela (I hate landlords) Rayner and potentially Diane (I'm a hypocrite) Abbot could influence the running of this country.

It's fairly clear labour may well win the election, but I think is is very important that Reform are the party leading the other side of the house. Having Reform rip apart the crazyness Starmer wants will send a wake up call to his party.
This lifelong Conservative voter will be voting Reform, I know the local candidate, she was also a UK MEP and fought hard for British fishing rights, something that is close to my family. Which ever way you look at it, we have to sort out the fall out from Brexit, we have to sort out immigration. Who is prepared to even talk about it?
As the poll averages stand today, Labour don't have a majority, even in individual polls they don't. They won't be getting this all their own way, they are still going to have to get policies right, to get them through the house.

I actually think Sunak called an early election as he could see, that Reform would have destroyed them completely, if he'd let it run until the Autumn.

Would a hung parliament be an ideal situation for landlords? Parties have do work with each other and accept policies they may not agree on if they want to form government

I agree, hang the lot of them and let the lunatics run the country

while people may protest vote for Reform this wont translate into their candidates bums on seats in the Commons. No seat, no voice and no chance of stopping Labour passing what they like.

if Labour are that ahead in the polls there is no change of a hung parliament.
