Just 6% think the Tories will win a majority.1 in 3 voters now think Reform will form the next government.Luke Tryl, More in Common’s UK director, told HuffPost UK: “For years, Nigel Farage has benefited from being a way voters could express their frustration with the establishment, but has rarely been seen as a potential prime minister.“In the wake of last year’s general election results and last week’s locals that might be changing.“Nearly one in five people now expect Nigel Farage to be PM after the next general election- more than those who say the same for Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch combined.”Related...Reform UK Accused Of 'Sucking Up To Moscow' Over Flag BanA Reform UK Councillor Has Been Suspended By The Party 3 Days After Being ElectedLocal Elections 2025: Reform UK Sees Support Surge As It Leaves Labour And The Tories In Its Wake
