A Reform UK voter has claimed the mainstream media 'got there way' after failing to find an option for Nigel Farage in their South Wales constituency.
Of course, he was never an option. Reform leader Farage is infact standing in Clacton, in Essex, 250 miles from the Welsh constituency.
The angry voter claimed 'voter fraud' and also suggested 'taking to the streets' if 'Nige' isn't elected by tomorrow.

Posted on the 'Tonyrefail - Our Community' group, the message, from an anonymous person, read: "Been to vote this morning for Nigel Farage and his name wasn't even on the voting list!!! Surly this is voter fraud and the MSM (mainstream media) have got there way by not letting him win!! If Nige isn't prime minster tomorrow morning then we take to the streets of ton who's with me!!"
Someone then shared the post to X, formerly known as Twitter, saying: "Most intelligent #ReformUk voter in South Wales."
Tonyrefail is a village and community in the Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough, Wales.

General Election 2024
British voters are picking a new government today (Thursday, 4 July) in a parliamentary election that is widely expected to bring the Labour Party to power.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer looks set to win a landslide majority, besting even the efforts of the Blair government in 1997.
The exit poll for this year’s General Election will be published just after polling stations close later today, Thursday 4 July, at 10pm.
The poll – commissioned by Sky News, BBC and ITV News – is designed by an academic team of political scientists, led by Professor Sir John Curtice of Strathclyde University, and is carried out by the research company Ipsos
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
