Steven, I guess we're ok with our pensions, mortgage paid for houses, no outstanding loans for our excellent education, etc. What's the alternative for younger voters? Reform didn’t bother turning up for any of the local hustings, who's going to vote for a faceless candidates. Considering local issues, to my knowledge they've not explained how they'd resolve the Hammersmith Bridge, Putney Bridge junction and associated traffic issues, or pollution problems, and whether or not they support London Heathrow Airport expansion.

From a young person's point of view, Farage is a rich, elderly public school educated ex-commodity broker who has trousered £5M from a rich business person who chooses to live abroad, presumably to avoid taxes.  One can debate whether or not it should have been declared but it's a fact he accepted the gift supposedly for his security. Surely that security is only necessary because of his long term political involvment from UKIP to Reform, etc and what some consider his inflammatory statements and disinformation about so called Brexit benefits - where are they? Anyway, his security seems poor value when he gets splattered with milk?

Perhaps some think that £5M pounds would have been better spent if transferred by HMRC to the NHS?

One needs to be pretty naive to vote for a rich ex-broker's party who who'll look after his rich gift giving friends and attracts some candidates with some dubious racist views ... how is he going to resolve the job, education costs, housing issues for younger people? The Green alternative must seem a path to a better world however unrealistic you or I might think it is - and sometimes things only change became people have aspirations to improve them? I guess they might think accepting £5M from a wealthy crypto currency business man after saying regulations in those markets will be reduced is a bit cynical? Perhaps they're judging by different values?
