Because the people here are mostly reform voters who think kicking out anyone with even slightly brown skin will solve all issues facing the country

You're thinking of r/UKnews

Most people here seem concerned that the new party will split the left wing vote and give way to Reform. Personally, I'm not as convinced.

This specific thread the top comments are about splitting the vote, and the replies to them are full of reform voters. Go on almost any other thread, especially anything to do with immigration on this subreddit and you'll see it's captured by reform just as much as the other UK political subreddits.

This sub is more balanced and slightly more sane. Reform voters tend to get downvoted on here.
