There's been a lot of chatter from die-hard Tory supporters, who are fuming that Reform UK voters supposedly cost the Conservatives the election. They also seem to think that we, Reform voters, are somehow upset about Labour’s super majority. Well, let me set the record straight: we’re not.

The Conservative government was supposed to be the right-wing, centrist-right alternative, but over time, it drifted further and further left. This left many of us on the right and centre-right feeling politically homeless. We were yearning for a party that genuinely represented our views, and the Tories just weren’t cutting it anymore.

The defeat of the Conservatives and the rise of Reform UK under Nigel Farage is a sign of a significant realignment on the right. This shift means that the conservative alternative in government will, in the future, genuinely represent those who vote for them. We need a party that stands firm on its principles, not one that bends to every political breeze.

This Labour government, as painful as it might seem to some, is a short-term necessity for a long-term conservative future. It’s a wake-up call. The destruction of the Tory stronghold paves the way for a stronger, more unified right-wing movement. Reform UK’s growing influence will ensure that the next conservative government will not only win elections but will also stand by the values of its supporters.

So, to all the Tory die-hards out there, don’t blame us. Blame a party that lost its way and left us no choice but to look elsewhere. This Labour majority is a stepping stone to a more authentic conservative future, and we, Reform voters, are perfectly fine with that.
