Reform UK presents itself as the “party of the working class”. From March 2025:
“We are on the side of the worker, we’re on the side of working people, we want to incentivise those on benefits to get off benefits and go back to work.”
Response:
- Reform UK has consistently voted against bills that would enhance workers’ rights. Their opposition to the Employment Rights Bill, despite it being supported by a variety of parties, shows they are not really representing workers’ interests.
- There’s a lot of pushback from Reform UK supporters who defend zero hours contracts because they give workers the flexibility they desire. Labour’s bill wouldn’t take away this flexibility, but would simply stop employers from imposing these contracts on workers, which would help prevent exploitation.
- Like many Reform UK positions there are clear contradictions in their behaviour. On one hand, they champion workers, but on the other, they vote against policies that could help them. It’s a political ploy that many populist parties use to appeal to the masses while supporting policies that favour the wealthy or corporate interests.
- Despite the contradictions, many people continue to defend Reform UK, often under the guise of “4D chess,” which is a strategy to justify policies that clearly benefit the elite more than ordinary people.
