1 week agoSir John Curtice: How Reform's capture of the Brexit vote could be enough to win an election
On 3 October 2021, Reform UK held its first conference - a modest one-day get-togetherin Manchester - only a short distance from the much larger Conservative Party gathering, taking place nearby at the city's Convention Complex at the same time. At the Reform event, only a few hundred activists were present in the function room - and Nigel Farage, not yet party leader, was reportedlynot among them. Reform was polling around 3% and had won just two councillorsin that May's local elections.
