Nigel Farage's position against Britain's climate commitments, particularly the UK's 2050 net zero target, faces resistance from younger members of Reform UK. Current polling indicates that a significant portion of new supporters—56% for renewables and 35% against scrapping net zero—oppose Farage and deputy Richard Tice's dismissive rhetoric. Plans like taxing farmers for solar panel installation attract minimal backing. The findings reveal a disconnect as the party aims to attract a wider voter base at a critical time, highlighting tensions between populist climate skepticism and the growing support for green energy among constituents.
