I had been planning to vote for Richard Tice's party but, now that I've read their manifesto, I've changed my mind. They support hunting, which I deplore. Killing animals for pleasure is morally wrong and I will not vote for a party which supports it.

You're right, of course, Cossy.

Are the people who go along with it in denial or trying to cover up their true opinions?

I have no idea, but I actually think they truly believe that they are not racist, bigoted or prejudice and, worse, that they represent and speak for most British people! They do not speak for me!

The myth that the right, particularly the far right, continually

Reform can parrot any uncosted bilge they like as they know they won’t have to implement any of it. I’m guessing that most people who vote for them won’t know that they are voting for a limited company making money for Tice and Farage.

It doesn't mention fox-hunting in the manifesto (they refer to it as their contract). Are you sure that it's not just fake news you've read to put you off voting for them?

I imagine the info is from this, possibly something more recent, but quite clear.check out Farage on this: its via the countryside alliance.

"We and the rest of our party know that the British countryside must not be some playground for Green party ideology, nor just a weekend retreat for people who don't have time to get to Tuscany. The countryside is farming, hunting, fishing, shooting, conservation, and relentless hard work by every man and woman trying to make a living in any of it. "

My party believes that the decision to reinstate hunting should be a decision made by each county. If Leicestershire hunt supporters gather enough signatures for a county referendum, and win the vote, they can get back hunting in Leicestershire

The Reform party has not yet published its manifesto.\
Those of you who are critical should perhaps try to study it again when it IS published on the 17th of June!!!!

It isn’t a manifesto. And they aren’t a party…..they are a limited company with a contract.

CMA03 you state it isn’t I’m their manifesto. It is in their policies and having had an email conversation with my local Reform representative, who hadn’t realised what was written in the policies, I was told that it certainly implies that they do intend to revoke the hunting ban.
