As the Westminster establishment continues to struggle, Nigel Farage's British Reform Party has tied for first place in national opinion polls for the first time in its history.
A survey of 2,078 British adults by the Find Out Now polling agency found that public support for the emerging populist Reform Party has soared to 25%.
This is a good result for a joint lead with the ruling left-wing Labor Party, which also won 25% of the vote, just over half a year after winning an overwhelming majority in the summer general election.
Meanwhile, the so-called Conservative Party, led by former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch, is in third place with an approval rating of 20%.
Mr Farage's party has previously ranked higher than the Conservatives and Labor in various opinion polls, but the Find Now poll marks the first time the Reform Party has topped the polls.
Zia Yusuf, Chairman of Reform UK said around The Express: “There's a lot of momentum for change in British politics, as this latest poll shows. It's the first time we've topped a national poll, but it won't be the last.”
Analysis of polls carried out by Election Map UK shows that if the general election mirrors the poll results, the Reformers will win 170 seats in the House of Commons, compared to 89 for the Conservatives, GB News report. Farage's party currently has five MPs, compared to 121 for the Conservatives.
Electoral Maps UK said the results would leave Labor with 238 seats, down from 402. This is far below the 326 seats needed to maintain a majority in the House of Commons, and marks a worrying downward trend for Sir's nascent Labor government. Keir Starmer.
Labor has only been in office for six months, but the bloodshed among its supporters comes as the party fails to deliver on two of its key campaign promises – stopping immigration and improving Britain's economy – before last year's July 4 general election. It continues.
Separate research this week found that reformist leader Nigel Farage is the country's most trusted politician with an economic growth rate of 24%, compared to Badenoch's 20% and Starmer's Labor government. It was only 16%.
Meanwhile, a seat-by-seat poll earlier this month found that 55% of those who switched from Labor to Reform in the last election were primarily motivated by mass migration.
