The Reform UK party has a clear lead in a national poll for the first time, standing out ahead of the traditional parties of government who have dominated British politics for the past century.
BREITBART -- If there was a general election now, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party would take 26 per cent of the vote, followed by the Conservatives at 23 per cent and Labour at 22 per cent, pollster Find Out Now says in their latest series of polls on the British electorate. While Reform UK has tied for first in a nationwide survey before, this is the first time it has stood out in front alone.
The pollster notes that while Labour and Conservative support has fluctuated over the past three months, Reform UK’s rating has only climbed in their surveys, rising steadily from 22 to 26 points in six polls. Further, they state the key reason for Reform’s strong performance is they are the only party top have retained almost all of their 2024 election voters while also picking up new voters from other parties.
Broken down by gender, Reform is further ahead even, with 31 per cent of men polled by Find Out Now backing the party, a pattern replicated in other European states and their respective sovereigntist parties.
Labour and the Conservatives have dominated British politics, one or the other always leading the government, for a century. Before then, the Conservatives and the Liberals ruled, but the Liberals had a very difficult 20th century and have been reduced to a rump of their former selves, now reckoned to be polling at 12 per cent.
All major pollsters seem to show Reform UK on a strong upward swing and standing among the top legacy players. YouGov found earlier this month that Reform was ahead of the Conservatives and just one point behind Labour, well within the margin of error.
