Reform ex-Tory says too many Tory rejects in party

The article discusses the concerns raised by a Blackpool Reform UK councillor about the influx of former Conservative (Tory) members into the Reform UK party. According to the councillor, there are too many "Tory rejects" joining the party, which could potentially undermine its core principles and values. The councillor expressed concerns that the party was becoming a "dumping ground" for disgruntled Tory members, rather than attracting new supporters who genuinely align with the Reform UK's vision. They argued that this could dilute the party's identity and make it less appealing to voters who are seeking a genuine alternative to the established political parties. The article highlights the ongoing tensions within the UK's political landscape, as smaller parties like Reform UK seek to establish their own distinct identity and attract support. The councillor's comments suggest that the party is grappling with the challenge of maintaining its ideological integrity while also growing its membership and influence.
