Claim: rich elites exploit bigotry to win poor voters

Commenters are reacting to a Guardian news item with the claim that wealthy political interests use bigotry to persuade poor people to vote against their own interests, calling it 'one of the oldest tricks in the book'. The discussion is framed around Reform UK and British politics, with critics arguing that divisive rhetoric distracts working-class voters from economic inequality.

Why now: Reform UK's growing support among working-class voters is a current flashpoint in UK political debate.
