Nigel Farage’s Reform UK leads in a new poll, surpassing Labour and Conservatives. Could this signal a major political shift in Britain?
Right-Wing Shift in the UK
A new poll commissioned by SkyNews reveals a major shift in British politics, with Nigel Farage’s right-wing party, Reform UK, leading with 25% support. This places it ahead of the ruling Labour Party (24%) and the Conservative Party (21%), though the margin remains within the statistical error range. The Liberal Democrats and Greens follow with 14% and 9%, respectively. The rise of Reform UK reflects growing euroscepticism and frustration with traditional parties, echoing broader right-wing trends across Europe.
A Political Ally of Trump
Farage, a long-time advocate for Brexit and a close ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump, welcomed the poll results, stating, “Britain wants reform.” The poll also shows that 20% of Conservative voters from the last election would now back Reform UK, signaling a potential realignment in British politics. As the general election approaches, this surge in support could significantly impact the country’s political landscape.
