Based on an analysis of 1,067 of 1,400 voting areas, the current national share estimate puts Reform on 32%.
This is the first time a party other than the Conservatives or Labour has led at this stage of the votes being counted.
Labour are currently placed second on 19% with the Conservatives only one point behind on 18%.
This is the lowest total for both parties individually and combined since 1973 when these estimates were first calculated.
The Liberal Democrats have 16% with the Greens on 7%.

Pity the UK brexited. It will take quite a bit more work for the continent to cancel their voters.
Weird. In America, we are like so what?
That’s true but they tend to be cities the Tories are losing their core support people are switching.
As Farage said the Conservative Party is likely dead now.
Reform only have 6 MPs because the election was last July for parliament if it was held now it would be different
They’re making rapid headway I feel. It’s actually without precedent. Kudos to Nigel.
Oh, that's nothing particularly new. Been going on in the eastern states for years. All part of the smear campaign I mentioned previously.
Here's how it works: The intelligence agency is subserviant to the interior minister, who is, of course, some leftist swine. The minister instructs the head of the security agency to find something, anything, that looks bad. Not too difficult in reality; there's always something to dig up. The press then has a field day and repeats the smears 24/7, and so do the leftist swine who ordered the report in the first place. And round and round it goes. All very totalitarian.
By now many, if not most, people see through the simplistic ruse and ignore it. Hence the new gain in popularity. Just wait until the economy starts to really hit the rocks, due to the idiotic green policies. When the pain hits hard, there might be a revolt in the air...
Let’s hope they win BIGLY as Trump would say
Thank you very much🙂
You really explained it very well, much better than I tried on the other thread (the one with AFD having been placed under surveillance).
The traditional „classic liberal“ party in Britain, nowadays much smaller than they once were.
Formerly, it was they who were called the Whigs, but their apogee was in the mid 18th century. In the late 18th century, their influence on British politics was waning, but by 1830, Prime Minister Earl Grey was a Whig, once again.
John Locke and John Milton were their most important thinkers. Their influence in the Thirteen Colonies was very large, especially among the Founding Fathers, and played a significant role in the decision to declare independence from Britain.
Yes, that’s what I have heard, too. Horrific.
To me, it seems that the general bent of all Western nations is „the elite against the people“.
This has superseded even the divisions between the older parties. The British conservatives, while they were in power, did little to stop the invasion (let’s call a spade a spade) which is still going on.
Everywhere in the West, we are seeing this pattern. God help us all 🙏🏻
Is this the one group that has Nigal Farage at the Head??
If so, WAY TO GO NIGAL
You’re welcome. 👍🏻
I must’ve missed the other thread; I’ll take a look later.
