What is Reform UK?
Reform UK is a right-wing populist political party in the United Kingdom. It was founded by Nigel Farage and Richard Tice, initially as the Brexit Party. The party advocates for lower taxes, reduced immigration, and a smaller state, aiming to disrupt the traditional two-party system. Their recent polling surge, especially among certain demographics like middle-aged Londoners, highlights their growing influence.
