Reform UK’s strength might well be it’s idealogical flexibility, if they find a way to make their tax cuts fundable, then the Conservatives game is up.
They now have quite a broad coalition of support, hence the need to be flexible, with their red wall support, middle England, and Towns out of London. Re their position on steel nationalisation and 2 child benefit relaxation, might seem odd but their is some crossover with…
One Nation Conservatism, and traditionalist views, what with the incoming Kruger, taking middle England with a clever set of tax cuts, and prioritising welfare Chauvinism when it comes to Towns.
The Conservatives might not know how to react, given they are almost, just as out of touch with the red wall as Labour with Kemi Badenoch, as well as not being very likable, don’t actually realise the economic centre/Common ground is to the left of where they are.
