So a party had the foresight to use the language of a certain electoral demographic to 'get out the vote'. Since speaking and reading Urdu isn't illegal, I see that as a smart exercise in the the rights to free speech.

I'm sure @BarraMarra and those of his ilk will be eager to get their hands on these Urdu election flyers, get them translated so we can all know the subversive coercion they created.

Or maybe they won't, because they don't.

I woke up afraid for my daughter's future yesterday. Because now that we have vicious sectarian voting, none of us are safe. Particularly the most vulnerable Brits like our women, our gay people and our jews.

I'm hearing some absolute horror stories - the amount of Muslims who were allowed to vote makes my blood run cold.

Apparently whole families were doing it. Just voting for whoever they liked! No-one could even stop them! Which is a haunting sign of things to come because they represent a huge voting bloc.

And if they are allowed to continue voting like this, they will force Britain under Shania's paw. Because they simply don't share our modern standards and values.

They are literally medieval.

And that's why they've just voted en masse for a female MP from a party led by a homosexual jewish man.

It's truly frightening stuff.

Some people might mistake this for satire.😉

So they have been directly in touch with you.......

The reaction from Reform supporters to the Gorton and Denton by-election result is depressingly predictable.

Instead of accepting the outcome, we’re now hearing insinuations about “sectarianism” and “family voting” — language carefully chosen to imply that certain ethnic communities voted improperly. That framing isn’t accidental. It plants suspicion without producing evidence.

There were no significant formal objections raised during polling. No emergency injunctions. No substantiated reports of systemic malpractice. Only after the count did the narrative shift to “something wasn’t right.”

We’ve seen this script before.

Far-right populist movements rarely start with detailed policy rebuttals. They start with cultural grievance. Immigration becomes an existential threat. Demographic change becomes “replacement.” Normal community voting patterns become “sectarian blocs.” Two people standing near a booth becomes “election fraud.”

“Family voting” has been illegal since 2023. If it occurred, it’s already covered by electoral law. Isolated allegations do not amount to a stolen election. But the phrase itself is useful if your goal is to imply that certain ethnic groups cannot be trusted to vote independently.

The word “sectarian” is even more telling. In this context it’s not about religion. It’s about race and identity. It’s a way of suggesting that minority communities vote illegitimately, while presenting that suggestion as concern for democratic integrity.

This is classic populist strategy:

• Cultural framing over policy substance.
• Turning economic anxiety into identity politics.
• Targeting voters who feel “left behind” by social change.
• Using simple, emotive messaging on social media to bypass scrutiny.

Research across Europe — and in the UK — consistently shows that support for right-wing populist parties is significantly higher among voters with lower formal educational attainment, particularly those without qualifications beyond A-level. That’s not an insult; it’s a statistical reality. These movements thrive where complex policy debate is replaced with emotionally charged narratives about “us” and “them.”

If there is evidence of electoral malpractice, it should go through proper legal channels. That’s how democracy works.

But crying fraud without evidence, and wrapping it in racially suggestive language, doesn’t protect democracy.

It corrodes it.

Absolutely. Look at this spineless scrote, just trying to copy Trump. It is sickening and embarrassing. Luckily I have faith in the UK that we won't accept division. The fact that Muslims were part of the constituency that voted for a female representative of a party led by a homosexual Jewish man means they are more open and progressive than this utter slimeball of a human being.

May the nasty, lying, division-sowing, baiting, grifting Reform party never get near the corridors of power. This by-election gives us all hope. Proud of Britain for a change. And the more they squeal, complain, and conduct themselves with utter bitterness and no decorum, they dig their holes.

They lost a vote. People rejected him. Accept it. Deal with it.

no - it was raised after - get your facts straight.

Of course it was raised after. After all the observations were noted.

Independent election observers have claimed there were 'extremely high' cases of illegal 'family voting' at polling stations as Gorton and Denton constituents headed out to vote on Thursday (February 26).

Are you being serious or is this just strangely disguised sarcasm?

Thank you.

I was being completely serious.

I blame the Ukrainians and Poles. All these Slavs coming to the UK and ruining our fine British genetics. We don't want them mixing with us.

The Brits ( plumbers and all) will be heading to Poland post 2030 when Poland's GDP is predicted to exceed the UK's, partly thanks to being in the EU.
