That’s too simplistic. Reform is eating into both the Labour and Conservative vote because the electorate are unhappy with both main parties.
Reform UK has captured the public imagination with its narrative. They are disrupters, and their standing in the polls should make both Starmer and Badenoch think about what they have been getting wrong. If they don’t change, Reform UK will see them off at the next General Election. Farage is building his party from the bottom up and is fielding candidates for every seat at the council elections.
Will he meet his goal of getting into government? It’s a tall order but he knows what needs to be done to overcome the difficulties for his party in gaining electoral success with our FPTP system.
Interesting times.

It’s a storm in a teacup. All parties have such problems but when it comes to Reform, every issue is treated like it’s a disaster.
