Reform UK have topped a poll for the first time – but Nigel Farage shouldn’t celebrate just yet

The Independent  

Reform UK has, for the first time, topped an opinion poll – and beaten Labour in the process. Prompting some breathless, the latest Sky News/YouGov opinion poll indicates that Nigel Farage’s latest political vehicle is supported by one in four voters, just ahead of Labour and the Conservatives. Farage also claims Reform’s membership has overtaken that of the Conservatives – and that it has all the momentum in British politics right now. Because Reform’s vote is spread fairly evenly across the country – and more so than any other national party – its popularity tends not to be very “efficiently” distributed in our first-past-the-post election system, in stark contrast to Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The same opinion polls that put them ahead, invariably show how far Reform supporters lie outside the political mainstream, especially on cultural and social issues – suggesting that there’s a ceiling to their support.
