“This is going to be huge”, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage predicts as the first results of Britain’s intense night of election results begins.
The first seats for Britain’s next Parliament have been declared and while they have all undeniably been Labour stronghold areas that the party was expected to win, one object of surprise has been a repeated story of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party coming in second every time.
While there is no escaping Britain’s electoral system, where the number of votes any given party gets nationally very rarely — if ever — is reflected in the actual power they get in terms of seats, it would still be an incredible coup — and real bragging rights for Mr Farage — if he walks away with the second highest number of votes tonight.

It would be interesting if Reform got more votes than the Tories.
Most of the pollsters claimed that Reform was not getting a second place finish tonight.
They look likely to be proved wrong.
The U.S. needs a MAGA party.
With respect to each seat, either the Conservative or the Reform candidate should have dropped out before the ballot got set based on which one was polling lower.
Instead, the UK will get Communism Light.
The U.S. needs a MAGA party.

I haven’t been following this closely, what does this 3rd or 4th place get him?
4th place at best... and the original exit polls that gave Reform 13 seats appear to have been off and now it looks like they’ll get 5 at the most. Farage did win a seat though after 7 previous attempts.
The Tory racism propaganda at the end of the campaign probably dragged their vote down a bit.
Even on GBN they were referring to Reform as ‘far right.’ Hard to climb out from behind that sort of nonsense.
