Having has a quick look at the ReformUK 'Contract', I can see how they are appealing to disgruntled voters.
There are plenty of awful & dangerous policies there, but there are also a range of claims for the change needed that would sit perfectly well in a progressive party manifesto.
The key issue is (and here being an incumbent rather than challenger party is key); will they deliver on their progressive promises or just prioritise the toxic stuff?
