Quite clearly, there is a lot of disillusion with labour.
00:06
The Conservatives are on a road to recovery, but it's a very slow process.
00:11
The incumbents, or the new kids on the block, which of course is Farage and his merry bunch
00:16
of men around him, yeah, there is undoubtedly a case that they are going to become popular
00:21
because, and he will look to what's happened in America and say the sort of things that
00:26
Trump has sort of come out with, which of course has meant he's won a sort of a landslide
00:31
in America of sorts, although of course, as we know, again, very thinly spread.
00:35
So the fact is that I'm not surprised that the opinion polls are sort of put into reform
00:39
in the sort of the pound seats, so to speak, and next time round in four years, and I do
00:44
sort of stress four years, hey, at the moment, four weeks is a long time in politics.
00:48
According to YouGov, those who favoured Reform UK reportedly said that it's the party's distinct
00:54
identity compared to the other established parties, which is key to its appeal.
00:58
Other considerers said the party's broader difference has an appeal with the fact that
01:02
Reform represents a new approach.
01:05
Another main consideration for people who ponder voting for the party was Reform's flagship
01:09
immigration policies and the belief that the party will stand up for Britain.
01:14
And in America, Donald Trump is back, and we see this in the sense of the great sort
01:19
of maggot lot, you know, the make American great again.
01:22
I think that that's the sort of the tack that sort of Farage will be taking, make the UK
01:28
great again, and saying similar sort of things.
01:30
And indeed, I have sort of said before, immigration is going to be sort of the key issue, and
01:34
we saw the sort of the latest sort of figures from the ONS this week, that population is
01:38
going to go up in this country mainly due to immigration.
01:41
Now, whatever sort of the benefits that, that plays out very badly amongst a lot of voters,
01:46
both Conservative and indeed the working class people who traditionally would have
01:49
gone to Labour, but they don't tend to go for Tories, they would go for sort of a much
01:53
more nationalistic party.
01:55
But as I say, but who can predict what may happen?
