Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has made headlines after overtaking Labour for the first time in a national opinion poll. The party now has the backing of almost a quarter of those who voted Conservative at the last election, according to a recent YouGov survey.
During a press conference hosted by Farage and Zia Yusuf, it was announced that Reform UK is now polling at 25 percent, one point ahead of Labour and four points ahead of the Conservatives. This marks a significant shift in the political landscape, with the Conservatives at their lowest level since losing power in July.
The poll also revealed that only 60 percent of people who supported Labour in July would do so now, with 18 percent stating they would not support the party. In stark contrast, 86 percent of Reform supporters said they would still back their party.
This surge in support for Reform UK is a clear indication of the changing political climate in the UK. As Farage and Yusuf address the media at the press conference, it is evident that the party is gaining momentum and making a significant impact on the current political landscape.
It remains to be seen how this latest poll rating will impact future elections and the overall political landscape in the UK. However, one thing is clear – Reform UK is a force to be reckoned with and should not be underestimated.
