Reform UK is a fairly new political party that ran for the last premier national elections in the country but was not able to leave a huge mark. However, it now looks like his political party is slowly gaining traction, and is surging ahead of Tories and even the Labour Party.

This poll was put together by Survation and it showed that Nigel Farage's party are now possibly backed by 24 per cent of voters, which is an increase by a whopping for points compared to last month's figures. In this latest survey Tories and Labour Party's popularity margins slumped significantly, says a Daily Mail UK report.

During the first six months in power in UK, the Labour Party is struggling to hold on to their share of voters who chose them during the elections last time. Their voter base is slowly shifting to other parties, and the biggest advantage of the same is reportedly going to the Reform UK, finds the poll data. The same survey shows that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been able to retain just 77 per cent of the voters who gave him a majority in the elections in the summer of last year, and that figure could even diminish further.
