Reform UK poll victory as Nigel Farage's party on course to win most seats for first time
Daily Express ^ | Jan 31 | Daily Express

A bombshell new poll by Find Out Now has recorded Reform UK’s largest lead yet, sitting a comfortable four points ahead of Labour and six points ahead of the Tories.

The survey of 2,487 UK adults finds Nigel Farage’s party now up to a commanding 27%, with Labour trailing behind on 23%.

The Conservatives would achieve just 21%, nearly two points lower than Rishi Sunak’s dismal result last year.

The Liberal Democrats are down to 11%, with the Greens on 10%.

Reform have put on one percentage point since Find Out Now’s last poll a week ago.

Farage would be PM with these numbers. It's incredible.

Clearly his stance on TR is not hindering him it's probably helping with certain folks.

Go figure!

The left will not give up power without a nasty fight.

Nah, the other parties, even the conservatives, would all form a coalition to ensure that the will of the people does not happen.

The Tories ally with Labor against Reform? I don't see them committing suicide.

Leading in a mid term UK opinion poll is not a victory. UK opinion polls are much more volatile than in the US. It is possible that Reform will do well in the next UK election but is also possible that the current Reform surge is based on general unhappiness/protest vote rather than a long term realignment of British politics.

I sure hope this is true. Britian is in a downward spiral and that needs to be corrected. By the way who counts the votes?

It’s not a direct election for PM, like US elections are.

If it were, most likely Churchill would have remained PM in 1945.

Meaningless unless an election is immediately upcoming. And considering what Starmer is, I don’t expect he’s planning to surrender power just because the populace votes him out. He’s an evil commie SOB.

Meaningless poll since Labour has a massive majority in parliament and doesn’t have to call an election until 2029. They’re stuck with that putz until then, but hopefully Farage can get Reform into fighting shape and have a solid platform ready to go at that time, just as Trump did here after last November.

“It’s not a direct election for PM, like US elections are”

You are correct and I think that makes it less likely that Reform will win. Farage is well known but they need to run candidates in 600+ constituencies and they will not be able to get 600+ candidates with Farage’s profile.

He’s worthless. His stance on Robinson means he is one of those who thinks conservatism is tinkering with the marginal tax rates or drilling for oil maybe.
As PM he wouldn’t do anything to rock the boat for the moslem problem.

There isn’t going to be an election for years. This is good to see as an indication that voters are sick of the status quo but otherwise is meaningless.

Will they win an outright majority? If not, will anyone join a coalition with them?

If they win, it could begin a realignment.

Nigel Farage is not "the guy". Elon Musk is right.

As it is, the Tories may form a coalition in 2029 with Labour because Reform is a "far right" party.

Basically, that's what happened in France.

Even if Reform wins 45% of the seats in the Parliament, Nigel Farage will still be locked out of the government.

The Tories are Labour Lite.
