Of course there aren't any fake accounts for other parties.

Of course there are. Both sides are played off against each other to cause the maximum disruption. Behind that though there is a preference on who suits their purposes best. Supporting our exit from the EU and the consequential impact on the British economy was totally in Russia’s interest. Weakening the Tory party so it implodes is as well.

It says something about the state of the country that Mr Farage and the crazy manifesto of Reform appears to be the only sane choice to me. proposing a shake up of ideas rather than wheeling out the Same old churning of the same policies that have apparently failed the Tories so badly.

Even as a traditionally Tory voter, 14 years in charge is enough for any one party. We need a 'new leadership bounce', after all these last few years have been a bit crap politacally, so more of the same is not a good vote this time round. I won't be voting Conservative.
Labour don't exist anymore (unless Corbyns new party arrive), but can't stand this party. Their whole 14 years of opposition has been one of sh*t throwing at the Tories, without offering any solutions. I won't be voting Labour.
I took a skim through the Lib Dem manifesto and tended to disagree with nearly all of it. It also offered no details about how they will achieve their plans. just bland statemenst like 'we will reduce tax'. I shall not be voting Lib Dems.

This leaves the remaining parties generally considered 'Throw away votes', Reform UK and Green Party.
Green Party are for Local council elections. I don't view them as a viable option for a GE. not big enough, and policies aren't wide reaching enough. I won't be Voting Green.

I actually like the Reform UKs manifesto - it actually offers a plan, albeit radical and therefore probably unlikely to succeed, but it seems to have identified the actual issues this country faces and offers some kind of solution to them. Also, as Brexit was ultimately their idea (under the guise of Ukip), they are probably best placed to implement the ideas to make it a success. As opposed to the other parties who all didn't (and don't) really want it to happen. If the GE was today, id vote Reform UK. which scares me slightly.

You will be wasting your vote and setting back the cause of true conservatism. Not sensible.

So Russia is behind Labour in Britain and the Republicans in America. Are their supporters that similar?

I will be voting Reform, not because I like Farage particularly not because I think they will get in.

It is my anti Tory vote in the hope that the Tory party will face up to the election disaster and sort it's self out. There is a huge gap between it's supporters / voter base and the MPs. Most of the MP's are not Tories but Labour light.

If people want to vote for that fair enough but they need to stop pretending they are the heirs of Thatcher.

The pollsters are suggesting Reform will get between 0 and 3 seats. That’s hardly in is it. Labour are regarded as more than 99% certain to form the next government.

I think Farage will take Clacton. It was possible there before he stepped in. He will be as big a nuisance in Westminster as he was in Brussels. Attracting headlines but achieving nothing.

Replacing Sunak for Starmer is like changing your tie when you’ve sh*t your pants!

Russia is not behind either. Putin’s tactic is to disrupt and weaken. Divide and conquer by stealth. They support Trump because he is seen as weak on NATO and sympathetic to their authoritarian style. They support Reform because they can help destroy the Tories and create chaos here. They don’t think that Reform can win!

Not as good as me and I’m not standing but have about as much chance.

What would you suggest as an alternative course of action?

Carry on voting for the Tory party who will ignore their manifesto commitments if they get elected. Err I don't think so after 14 years I think some of us have had enough of their lies.

Matov is right we need a blood bath.
