The re-emergence of Brexiteer Nigel Farage has put Britain's populist right-wing Reform party almost neck-and-neck with the flailing Conservatives ahead of next month's election.
But Reform is now seen just two points behind the Tories, according to the latest YouGov poll, likely stealing critical remaining votes from the diminished party. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Tory party was already widely expected to lose next month's election to opposition Labour party, bringing to a close its long and tumultuous 14 years in power.The last-minute shift would leave the Conservatives with even fewer seats than previously expected in the House of Commons and would likely bring about a reckoning within the diminished party.
It marks the politician-turned-media personality's eight time running to be a Member of Parliament, after never previously succeeded.
