What is it, specifically (as in policies or pronouncements), about Reform UK that puts them on the “right wing” and at which number on the 65-89 scale?
As a follow-up question, where does GB News sit on that scale and why? Russia certainly that GB News is “overtly right wing” but won’t define “right wing” from his perspective.

But it’s not what " political scientists and their absolute lack of understanding of what people think" - the link above referenced what people think; just because it’s not what you think, doesn’t make their views invalid…

Where do Britons place the parties on the spectrum?
When it comes to how voters see the main UK parties, the order is probably not that surprising to those familiar with the terms. The Greens are seen as the most left-wing of the five main parties, with an average score of -55, followed by Labour on -36 and the Lib Dems as the most ‘centrist’ party on -23.
The Conservatives are perceived as somewhat right-wing, scoring +51, while Reform UK are seen as being the furthest out from the centre, with Britons giving them an average score of +69.
