Reform UK leads a new poll, surpassing Labour by one point, marking a significant shift in UK politics.
London: Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has made headlines by topping a new poll. This is their first time leading in a poll, and their popularity is growing fast.
According to a Sky News/YouGov poll, Reform UK is just ahead of Labour by one percentage point. The Conservatives have fallen to third place.
This shift could change the UK’s traditional two-party system. Farage has gained momentum by focusing on immigration issues and Labour’s recent struggles.
In the last election, Farage’s party received 15% of the votes but only five seats. Labour had a strong showing in July, winning 35% of the vote.
However, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has faced criticism for his recent budget decisions, including tax hikes and cuts to pensioner benefits.
Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch, the new Tory leader, hasn’t made a significant impact in the polls yet. Farage’s party is gaining members and attracting former Tory MPs.
Farage is also popular on social media, especially TikTok, where he connects with younger voters.
