It shows that the UK has substantial issues that are not being resolved.
I mean I saw this coming, a lot of Reforms policies are based around things people are worried about and keep being shut down by other parties.
It’s fucking dumb that Farage has been given this opportunity, the man’s a huckster
You might hope that the ongoing USA cluster fuck was a warning, but no, apparently it’s an inspiration.
cant say im surprised, I have low key expecting Farage to win even bigger at the next election.
I just dont see Starmar fixing any of the problems created, when he is far more interested in Tory voters than Labour voters. If I am right about Starmar will feel a 3rd party like Reform is worth the vote.
Of course if Trump goes way over board and the consequences of that are seen (not suppressed by the billionaire online and news media), then it will Farage.
The trouble when the old government were recently in and obviously crap, and the new government have been crap too, what’s left? The unknown…. Even if led by a bellend. People aren’t feeling hope. And hope is important. SOOOOO important. I clearly remember 1997 and the surge of hope across the country as the Labour win happened. People were smiling. Feeling positive. There just isn’t anything making people feel that now.
Lies from the left, lies from the right, lies from everywhere in politics. And obvious lies too. It’s like they aren’t even trying to pretend any more.
DO BETTER ALL POLITICIANS. Bring back hope.
Find Out Now instant polling seems to have driven Reform supporters into a wanking frenzy.
Amazing. All Labour and the Conservatives needed to do was get a grip on illegal migration, but they both decided it was absolutely sacred and untouchable, non-negotiable.
Incredible how people have already forgotten the lesson of Boris, Brexit, Truss: it’s easy to always have the answers to everything when you just ignore reality and trade in fairy tale easy answers dressed up as common sense.
It’s also worth noting that Labour have five years and the smart move when you’re starting from a bad place is to get all the pain and unpopular decisions out of the way immediately. I’m not a Labour supporter but I reckon their dogged determination not to lapse into feel good populism is a bit of a relief after the Tories government by press release.
Labour should be very worried about the obvious collapse in their support across all polls, and about the fact that Reform plus Tory support is very strong across all polls…
But who in the blue hell are “Find out now”?
Sensationalise it continually, form an inflated bubble and even after it pops some of it will stick around. That’s the strategy they’re aiming for.
Labour are unfairly recieving a lot of blame from people for 14 years of Tory crap, but they’ve also fallen into a major PR few holes for no good reason since becoming elected. Only hope is things will start to pick up, but sadly they’ve now got to contend with an unpredictable US administration which could have a tangible effect on how they operate, or people who could potentially cause interference.
Only hope they have are things feeling better in the UK in a few years so people don’t want to protest vote as much. Reform unless they have a scandal or disaster will likely increase their seats next election, but in any circumstances will reach a saturation point both in terms of vote share and seats.
I just… I almost wouldn’t mind if some serious REFORMS actually happened but I know for a fact these lot are all racist corrupt fucks and will absolutely take the NHS from us amongst other things, we’ll end up with an even more fucked post capitalist hellhole than we already have now, only this time I won’t be able to get surgery for whatever the fuck my body throws at me next.
The day reform comes to power will be a sad day.
ATM it’s all too easy for them, Cons have crippled us and Starmer has the charisma of a dry cheese sandwich.
What is wrong with people?
The Politico “poll of polls” has Reform at 24%. While Labour are at 27% and the Tories at 23%.
https://www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/united-kingdom/
Interestingly, in recent months Reform seems to be cannibalising the Tory vote share.
A pole of about 2300 people so take it with a big pinch of salt.
Reform didn’t have a single seat in the last 182 council elections
No problem. Starmer has a plan. He’s going to ban elections and declare himself President for life.
Yes reform!!
It’s always helpful when reading a poll to know who exactly is doing the polling. A quick Google search says that Find Out Now was formed in 2025.
They’re owned by Pick Media LTD. Who is the postcode lottery company….
On their website, they explain how they do polling. They don’t do door knocking or cold calling. They rely solely on people completing surveys on their website. The poll has a sample size of 2300 people.
I’m not sure if this poll is particularly reliable. If it was YouGov or someone similar, then I would give it some validity.
Goddamn I wish people would realise Reform are nowt special. Farage is just another careerist, corrupt politician. Hell he’s more of a careerist now than most of his opponents, and he’s spent his entire political career just moaning about stuff and doing nothing positive.
I’ve little doubt he’ll be Prime Minister in a few years, and then we’ll all have to endure 5 years of a party who only know how to moan and complain, and have no ideas on what to actually *do*. It’ll be nasty, and regressive, but above all it’s going to be incompetence on a level that makes Johnson and Truss look sane.
As long as Labour and the Tories keep sweeping mass migration under the rug, Reform will hoover votes.
The funniest part of this is seeing the British public expect 14 years of Tories lying and destroying this nation’s fabric – followed by several crises including world wars and the pandemic – to be fixed in 6 months.
How gullible and naive can we be?
Labour has passed a long list of bills aimed at securing the future of ordinary working people. The media just isn’t bothered to cover them, and most of those bills will not lead to substantial improvement in living standards within just a few months. It’ll take years, just as it took the Tories years to progressively screw things up.
A what poll?
Who cares we are years for a general election. This would be worrying if one was happening in a year but Starmer has at least 4 more
Labour Party vote could very easily collapse here and they end up with tens of seats.
Not surprising with the way things have been for the last decade or so.
are there any elections in the uk? NO! So why all this inflation in UK polling? to boost morale for farage? :)) And as the uk system is different, all these numbers floated in the polls could mean nothing, as the polls can be easily misleading because of methodology used…you can get million of votes in just a few areas and get in the end almost nothing in the parliament…
A lot of people don’t want to pay financially for net zero, regardless of the human cost of the climate crisis. And they don’t want migration touching a million a year in a country that has totally stalled.
It’s not a strange riddle or bizarre circumstance that has Reform polling so well.
Not so sure that this polling company can be relied upon, but even so, headlines generate headlines. I think Starmer et al need to swallow a bit of humble pie and give the country something to cheer about, otherwise they will be booted to oblivion at the next election. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the mess they’re trying to clear up won’t be fixed in one parliament. I fear they’re too stubborn to change course, which will cost them and the country dearly in the long run.
It’s quite interesting to see users on Reddit when it comes to news articles like this, The majority of them tend to say “Nonsense, Reform has no chance in competing against Labour and the Tories.” And the ones who disagree with those opinions tend to get downvoted to heck.
Look what happened in the 2024 US election. The majority on Reddit thought that Kamala Harris was going to win by a long shot. Spoiler warning: She didn’t. Donald Trump ended up winning the election and as a result most Reddit pages had a massive meltdown. It was quite an interesting week.
So I would not be surprised in any way, shape or form if reform does takes control of the country in the next five years and maybe even earlier than that.
I don’t even like Reform. They’re just going to make it worse if they take control.
We are going to get a reform govt unless we do something drastically different.
I’d be willing to vote co pervasive to keep farage out of office and I have conservatives and reform
Fascism is trendy, it seems.
Holy fuck it’s going to happen here too, isn’t it?
Election interference by Elon is working a treat I see..
If Starmer continues to spout waffle and shite it’s only going to get worse
If reform is the answer , What is the question?
The UK has its issues, but it’s absurd and laughable that some believe Reform is the solution.
It’s ironic how the Tories promoted this shallow narrative to appeal to Reform supporters, only for it to backfire on them, exposing clueless MPs and a manipulated voter base.
I feel like UK is not giving Labour enough time to even lessen the fourteen year damage the Tories did. It’s not even a year. LOL
Don’t take this pollster seriously.
Two weeks ago they had the Tories on 20% in 3rd, then last week out of nowhere the Tories had sprung into the lead gaining +5 points in a single week.
Now the Tories are -2 in less than a week.
Too bouncy, screams outlier.
FindoutnowUK are currently graded D by the British polling council, the lowest of all UK pollsters, which tells you everything you need to know about this polling firm. Their methodology is consistently off.
