YouGov Poll Shows Reform UK Leading Over Conservatives

Nigel Farage has criticized the Conservative Party, particularly Kemi Badenoch, for not representing the true right in British politics, asserting that his Reform UK party is gaining substantial support among voters. In a recent poll, 19% of respondents deemed Reform UK trustworthy, compared to just 11% for the Conservatives, indicating a growing confidence in Farage's party. Farage claimed that the current immigration situation, with net migration reaching a million in 2023, is a direct result of failures by both Labour and the Conservatives. As Reform UK aims to position itself as the primary right-wing party, polling suggests that voters are more likely to switch from the Conservatives to Reform than vice versa. Despite the rising tensions and competition between the two parties, both have ruled out an electoral pact. Badenoch's recent remarks at a conference, which included a defense of Trump and criticisms of corporate policies, highlight her approach amidst a challenging political landscape.
