A poll has revealed that Reform UK could be in for a shock win in one part of the UK, as Labour’s support in one of its key strongholds begins to plummet.
In Scotland, Reform UK could be preparing for a “breakthrough that would have never seemed possible”, while in Wales, Nigel Farage’s party could actually become the largest party according to recent polling.
As the right-wing party grows in popularity even outside of the Red Wall, big wins for Reform north of the border and in Wales are possible as voting intentions for Labour have dropped from 30% to 23% according to polls.
Starmer’s role as Prime Minister hasn’t been an easy ride so far and the Conservatives under Kemi Badenoch have not yet managed to gain the traction they might have hoped for.
Reform UK could make the most of the flagging support for the two major parties.
An insider told GB News: “In Scotland, the papers seem to suggest that we are in a position possibly to cause a huge upset – a breakthrough in a way that nobody would ever consider possible.
“The Scots must be gnashing their teeth in a horrible fashion.”
Before Brexit, Reform largely centered around this topic, which wasn’t as relevant to Scots due to their pro-remain sentiment.
However, following its rebrand, the party could see a huge rise in popularity.
A poll by Opinium suggested that 26 per cent of Welsh voters would support Reform compared to 24 per cent for Labour should a General Election be held tomorrow.
“I see no good reason, unless we do something really stupid, why we shouldn’t be the largest party in Wales,” the Reform source added.
The Welsh Parliament, the Senedd, will move to a system with more members and a more proportional representation from 2026.
This move could be beneficial for Reform UK as it will allow the party to gain representation disproportionate to their overall vote share if they manage to secure enough votes in the right regions or constituencies.
Not only this but another recent poll by Find Out Now suggests that Reform UK would outperform Labour if a general election were held tomorrow.
The poll finds that nationwide, the Conservatives are the most popular party with 26 percent of the vote, closely followed by Reform in second with 24 percent.
Results from recent by-elections and polling data show Reform’s messaging is resonating with voters across all part of the UK.
