Reform UK Surpasses Conservatives in Polls as Farage Gains Momentum
Nigel Farage's Reform UK leads in latest polling, challenging both major parties and reshaping Britain's political landscape.
- Reform UK has topped a YouGov poll for the first time, securing 25% of voter support, ahead of Labour and the Conservatives.
- The party is drawing financial backing and membership growth, with Farage claiming Reform has overtaken the Conservatives in members and planning a major rally in Birmingham in March.
- Kemi Badenoch's Conservative leadership faces internal challenges, donor losses, and organizational missteps, contributing to declining support.
- Reform UK's rise is attributed to its focus on populist issues like immigration and Brexit, resonating with discontented voters outside the traditional political mainstream.
- Despite its surge, analysts suggest Reform UK's success may be limited by the first-past-the-post system, with its support spread thin across constituencies.
