New poll shows Reform overtaking Tories as second largest UK party

Things continue to look grimmer and grimmer for the long-established Conservative Party as elections are less than a month away.

A new poll published by The Times today (Thursday) shows Nigel Farage's Reform party edging out the reigning Tory party 19-18%, with Labour far ahead of both at 37%.

With elections set to take place on July 4, the electoral outcome for a party that had governed Britain for 14 years and enjoyed a commanding majority for the previous term looks increasingly grim, and the current poll shows just how deep the dissatisfaction runs among many Tory voters.

Whether or not this will translate into a true collapse for the Conservative party given the UK's first past the post system remains to be seen, however.
