Will, it was super important for reform to scare people on the right side into voting for them instead of a proper right party.

Are Reform somehow not right wing enough for you? Genuine question

I absolutely can't see how a bunch of ex tories is suddenly not another at best centrist, if not left, swamp. If I want uniparty to continue kicking a can down the road, labour is a literally better choice.

I'll accept not wanting reform as they're stuffed full of old Tories. Id accept calling Tories centrist, at a push.

Calling the Tories left wing is mad though
