Will Reform do better than expected? Geoff Aberdein questions whether there is hidden support for Reform UK across Scotland that hasn’t been picked up in the polls, and how that could affect the outcome of next Thursday’s election. Calum Macdonald | Andy Maciver

Definitely a BIG change in the last week. Really noticed change after @Malcolm_Offord talk about aspiration and his ‘Braveheart’ boat etc. Been in two Glasgow Taxis this morning I know the drivers well and they scunnered . Now voting @ReformUKScot . Worked all their life and feel let down . They tell me the talk at the Queen St Black cab taxi rank is a now a vocal rebellion. It has went from silence to they don’t mind sharing their Hope for change. Causes, the state of Glasgow City Centre, lack of Housing and working night and day for f*ck all ( their words). Previously voted a mixture of SNP and Labour. Demographic age 55 plus . Interesting week ahead!

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver It's not that hidden any more.

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver I totally agree. Also, as with some Tory voters in the past, they tend not to "give away" who they might be voting for in polls. Will be interesting to see how it plays out but I genuinely think you're on to something.

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Yes. 20-25 seats.

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Terrifying but unsurprising. The traditional Unionist parties have no answers and even though I'll vote for them the SNP are still far too timid. Scotland needs big changes but not the ones Reform have in mind.

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver A new face will get votes. Everyone else is boring to listen to. Before the stv debate started you knew what they were all going to say. We need new leaders across the board to rejuvenate politics in Scotland.

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Never underestimate the silent majority 😉

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Best political podcast in the UK by miles. There is definitely a substantial Reform vote among young men who are scunnered and who are not motivated by independence because they don’t believe the SNP will do anything about it. The question is how many of them will vote.

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver A man who as an unelected minister the policy’s he worked on are linked with the premature deaths of 350,000 + UK citizens due to Austerity and that led to the U.K. life expectancy dropping Once a Tory always a Tory

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver You just need to look at the hype of the 2014 independence referendum- all the polls were pointing towards a yes majority- until the silent majority cast their vote- Reform will definitely raise a few eyebrows when the votes are counted

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Yes there is. You can sense the silence just waiting to erupt,

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver The majority will not openly state they vote reform as they want it to be a massive suppress!

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Holyrood sources the unionists propaganda unit

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver He is starting to sound like he desperately wants this to happen

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver I'm no hiding it. Most people that I speak to plan to vote Reform.

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver We’d an SNP surge with a Green surge, so why not a Reform surge?

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Labour Reform Pepsi Cola #Deport What do you think?

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Can we circle back to this after the election? Would be interesting to see if this holds up

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver ONLY if they are dafties like the Trump voters who think millionaires give their money away! OFFORDS AN INVESTOR- IN HIMSELF

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver The goody's vs the far-right Reform baddies #Detain #Deport

@geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver Fascinating episode of the podcast this one. Really got the grey matter going thinking about the possible outcomes. I'd be happy if JS reached out to other parties to sort out Scotland's problems and I'm an indy supporter.
