I think tbf to a lot of Reform voters, I think that they're scared because the country is in a really bad way (due to Brexit, COVID etc,) and our two major parties being a shadow of their former selves going from one disaster to the next.

I mean I can't believe these two parties historically have Clement Atlee and Winston Churchill in their parties, and now it's Starmer and Badenoch, who have debates about what they eat for lunch.

Unfortunately like with any bad thing that comes to the forefront, we have to blame Labour and Tories as to why people are looking towards Reform, and therefore getting more politically extreme because of it.

I get that there are bad apples within the supporter base (like you've mentioned Joey) but even they have probably become that way due to years of disappointment from our two main parties.
