No - and no.  

[ToraToraTora]

No and No.

However I think some of the sensible reform members should join the Tories and the Tories should boot out their VBQC. They should elect Farage as leader and crush the treacherous cabal that's currently ruining the nation... at the next election ... if there is anything left.

I've said before that Farage is too much of an egotist to play second fiddle to anyone. The only way a coalition would take place is if they guaranteed him the leadership.

[douglas9401]

Oh yes please. Farage leading and former top dogs trailing in his wake.

Truss, Johnson, Sunak, May and Cameron all back to give their all for us since they didn't manage it first time around.

no

Best to bring Reform back together first.

One step at a time. Walk before you can run. Etc..

i am surprised that so many say no. my understanding was that many of you quite liked Reform. 

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah, it's the Tories that have fallen out of favour.

[Untitled]

do you realistically think Reform can form a government after the next election without an agreement with the tories?

[Ellipsis]

Almost the whole point of Reform is that the members were unhappy with how decaffeinated (weak / mealy-mouthed / "woke") the Tory Party was becoming.  What would be the point of a coalition? It would be back to square one.

Why would Reform want to commit political suicide by teaming up with the No hope.. Redundant load of Cons....end of.

10:06 "i am surprised that so many say no. my understanding was that many of you quite liked Reform. " - I like the idea of reform as an example of what the Tories should be moving towards but overall they are over subscribed with idiots. So we should boot the left out of the tories and the nutters out of reform and form the new tories lead by Farage.

[Old_Geezer]

Reform were on target to do precisely that. Such is the disillusionment of the traditional main parties.

 

That is until the internal fighting started, the splitting of many popular individuals from it, the inability to turn it from a private company into a proper political party, and foolish statements being made in an apparent attempt to snatch defeat from the jaws of imminent victory.

 

What is left is beginning to look more & more like the parties that have lost the public's favour. And the splits mean the chances of finally getting a new party into power has lengthened considerably. There's time yet to sort things, but it's being wasted.

[youngmafbog]

All new parties will attract the odd balls, Farage is trying to stop the extreme ones, hence the Lowe incident.

Perhaps the sensible Torys would like to move to reform, that would make more sense.  The Torys are not electable, whoever they vote out, in some areas wheras Refrom doesnt have that stigma.

Lets face it the "wets" who turned the Torys into the TINO's wont be going anywhere, although it seems some hve also infiltrated labour so Reform is really the only solution.

Will they form a coalition?  Dont know to be honest, I doubt either side will commit unless after an election its the only way to keep labour out. Then it may happen.

It would be very useful if they both agreed not to contest some seats, but I doubt that will happen either.

So, lets see what happens, I for one will never be voting Tory again after the abysmal last 14 years and the likes of call me Dave and Treason May.

I have to laugh .Up here in Scotland the SNP FM is moaning about the English nationalists(Farages lot),hasnt Swinney never heard of pots and kettles?The SNP nationalist bastrads are a bunch of venal thieving aerosols(and thats being kind to them).

[naomi24]

The Tories blew it when they stabbed Boris.  They are the authors of their own misfortune.  Reform shouldn't even consider bailing them out - because that's what a coalition would amount to.

[ToraToraTora]

Yep bang on naomi, we should have stuck with BOJO.
