Express readers have their say on if Nigel Farage will be Britain’s next PM | Politics | News


Recent polls have revealed that Nigel Farage’s Reform UK sits well ahead of all other parties with a majority of the vote. The Labour Party continues to flounder on immigration while the Conservatives are focusing on being the champions of oil and gas.

A poll from FindOutNow, which asked voters who they would back at the next election, found Reform is leading with 34% of the vote. Meanwhile, Labour support is at its lowest since 2019 with just 18% while the Tories have fallen to 15%. The Liberal Democrats are just behind on 13% with the Greens on 10%. This result would hand Nigel Farage a landslide majority.

Last month, YouGov polling found 57% of Brits named immigration and asylum as one of the most important issues facing the UK. The issue topped the economy and health which gained 51% and 30% respectively.

The FindOutNow polling predictor shows Reform would win a huge 450 seats if there was an election. Labour would be reduced to 61 seats while the Tories would drop to just 14.

On the poll, which Reform UK say is the most accurate of all polling companies, deputy leader Richard Tice said: “Our summer of campaigning has clearly had an impact. Voters are fleeing Labour and Tories and sailing over to Reform in large numbers. We give them a very warm welcome!”

Sir Keir Starmer carried out a re-shuffle of his Downing Street aides on Monday (September 1) with many voters viewing it as an admission the Prime Minister does not have a firm grip on Government. Among his moves was the appointment of Darren Jones as his chief secretary, a move which appeared to undermine the authority of Rachel Reeves.

Meanwhile, Reform UK has dominated the headlines this summer. Farage has held a number of high-profile press conferences on issues such as crime, mass deportations and women’s safety.

The other parties have been left trying to catch up. Labour has attempted to match Reform’s tough rhetoric on illegal migration without success.
