Wanted to revisit this.
I'm not calling people who vote for reform stupid (although some are)
I'm saying that people vote for stupid stuff, because they get duped into it.
Reform are the enemy of the working class. They will trash workers rights, employment rights, benefits for people who need it, privatise the NHS, cut taxation for public services and deregulate big business to remove protections for consumers and workers in order that bigger profits can be made
This is why 75% of their donors come from millionaires. Because they exist for the millionaires
Farage took a £5m bribe from a crypto boss. Quid pro quo
He's has jumped on the anti immigration ticket (he's not the first) to whip up fear and anxiety, and blame the darkies for crumbling public services, and vast swathes of working class people, who are struggling with their bills and cost of living are falling for it. Farage knows spreading fear and paranoia is a vote winner.
If they understood how Reform's policies would harm them, they'd never do it. But a lot of folk don't even know what Reform's polices are other than send the darkies home.
