It's looking like an interesting five-horse race in the next General Election so a coalition government could well be a possibility. Certainbly Reform UK or any other party governing on its own with just 25% of the vote would not go down well. But a coalition of Reform with another political party would undermine its USP. I'm not sure how you square the circle on these two points as Reform UK's share of the vote is unlikely to grow much given it's competing with four other parties, particularly as Badnoch is taking advantage of Starmer's political ineptitude.
I don’t agree. Reform UK has taken on those right wing Conservatives who have become disillusioned with the failure of the party to deal with the issues they care about. They got shouted down when they tried to point out the obvious.

Reform UK is a United party, not split between left and right, which is something that has plagued Labour and Conservatives alike with their obsession with pleasing the middle ground. The only real opposition Reform has got comes from other right wing parties, most notably the Conservatives, who for the time being at least have lost credibility.
