Nigel Farage and Reform UK have achieved an important breakthrough after a major bookmaker named them favourites to win the next general election for the first time. Bookmaker Coral now makes Reform UK the 6-4 favourites to win the most seats at the next general election.
Coral's John Hill said: "For the first time since they were founded, Reform UK now top our betting to win the most seats at a general election. We continue to see one-way traffic for the party ahead of the next election, with Nigel Farage also the favourite to be the next prime minister." It follows Reform's win in recent local elections and the Runcorn and Helsby special by-election.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Now come the BIG RACE in the UK. Can Stammer naturalize enough ‘new arrivals’ to prevent Farage from winning in the next election, or will he have to cheat in one of the many ways that the NeverTrumpers have engaged in (voting fraud, jailing, shooting, nullifying, etc.)?
what will be left of the uk by 2029?
starmer is giving lip service to immigration “reforms”
doubt he will limit the invasion in any meaningful way
Labor and Conservatives are a true uniparty, even more so than what we have. So the Reform party is the only choice for serious Brit nationalists.
We’re only making plans for Nigel.
It’s a typical political move when a 3rd party gains ground - one of the major parties just steals the platform. Of course they have their own twist, and they don’t really mean it… but it pulls enough votes away from the 3rd party to secure their power. This is one reason why we never have a 3rd party gain much ground in the US other than Ross Perot who ended up just being a spoiler (and since then made even harder by the so called “campaign finance” laws and the provincial party policies that protect two (and now just one) party and candidate (open primaries, top 2 go to general, ranked choice voting etc). It’s a little different in a parliamentary system as they are used to multiple parties (Germany and Israel for example often need multiple parties to form a coalition). Reform UK can and likely will beat Starmer over the head with every slip up… but 2029 is a long ways away. Reform is going to need to start cultivating a second plank besides immigration… something about reforming their tax and spend policies, a DOGE of their own promising to cut out waste and deliver more services to taxpayers and pensioners… maybe get rid of the TV tax too lol.
Should make for entertaining prime minister questions.
Can't Reform force a no confidence vote?
A no-confidence vote in Parliament requires a majority vote. Such votes are not uncommon in coalition governments. But Labour is in no coalition, it has a huge majority all in its own.
The UK is screwed at least until the next general election is required. And that isn’t until August of 2029. Plenty of time for Labour to ally with the Tories to keep Reform out of power.
I’m not optimistic here.
Nope. See #9. If things go bad Starmer will just leave the leadership and someone else from Labor will take his place. Rinse and repeat as needed until 2029.
Rule Brutannia.
Reform party to be declared terrorists and banned in 3....2...1...
Y E S
So the next election is not until 2029? The UK will have been completely subsumed by then by the new Ottoman Empire. So sad.
We only want what’s best for him!
