Farage Return Could Decimate the Tory Vote
The one thing that is becoming abundantly clear is that the Conservatives are going to get wiped out in the forthcoming election.
Voters are abandoning the party in droves and the Tories are heading for one of their worst ever defeats.
Pollsters are predicting a landslide victory for Sir Keir Starmer as the crumbling Blue Wall slumps to a pitiful 20 per cent share of the vote.
To make matters worse for the Tories, it looks like Nigel Farage could be set for a return to frontline politics to lead Reform UK’s election charge.
If that happens, it will be music to Labour ears as the Reform party – the successor to the Brexit Party – will effectively split the Tory vote.
Reform UK are only 10 points behind Rishi Sunak’s imploding party and the former UKIP leaders’ possible comeback will smash any lingering hopes that the Tories could cling to power.
Like him or loathe him, Farage’s return to the fray would send shockwaves through the political establishment.
A close ally of Donald Trump in America, he is second to none when communicating with grassroots voters. People believe in him and what he has to say.
And Downing Street keep scoring own goals and have just simply failed to deliver on past promises. The party has also become embroiled in scandals, defections, resignations and is still entangled in a disastrous illegal migration cockup. Despite Brexit, we still appear to have no control over our borders and the controversial Rwanda scheme is still not over the line.
After the Budget failed to make a dent in Labour’s lead at the polls, support for Sunak is rapidly fading and another disaster in the forthcoming local May elections could even spark yet another change in the Tory leadership ranks.
Rumours of a General Election in May have been firmly scotched but the future looks bleak for the Conservatives whenever they decide to call it.
Whether the Labour party, if elected, can navigate the country out of the current turmoil under Sir Keir Starmer still remains to be seen.
