Nigel Farage's Reform UK Leads Polls for First Time in Britain
The right-wing party edges out Labour and Conservatives in a YouGov survey, signaling a potential shift in British political dynamics.
- Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has topped a YouGov poll with 25% support, surpassing Labour at 24% and the Conservatives at 21%.
- The survey was conducted on February 2-3, 2025, with 2,465 British adults participating, and the results fall within the margin of error.
- This marks the first time the party, which currently holds only five seats in Parliament, has led in national polling.
- Farage aims to replace the Conservative Party as the primary right-wing political force in the UK, leveraging his role in the Brexit movement.
- The UK's majority voting system traditionally favors Labour and the Conservatives, making it uncertain whether Reform UK's polling success will translate into parliamentary power.
