The British populist party also surpassed the conservatives

According to the international group Tasnim News Agency, the German publication “D Site” wrote in an article: About three weeks before the UK general election, the right-wing populist British Reform Party has overtaken Prime Minister Rishi Sonak’s conservative party in a poll for the first time. In this poll published by the Yougo Institute on behalf of the Times newspaper, the populist UK Reform Party increased by two percentage points to 19% and came in second place after the Labor Party.

According to this poll, The Labor Party in the opposition also lost one percent, but is still leading with 37 percent. Rishi Sunak’s conservatives won an unchanged 18 percent of the vote in the poll, putting them in third place for the first time. Although the gap between Britain’s conservatives and reformers is narrow, the UGO Institute is already talking about a political “earthquake”.

However, the remarkable result of the UGO International Opinion Research Institute is on a rather uncertain basis. There are currently no other polls to confirm the result.

The Conservative Party has been in power in England for 14 years and they are under a lot of pressure in the run-up to the election. In the polls, the Conservatives have been trailing the opposition Labor Party for months.

The British Reform Party is the new party of Nigel Farage, who was previously the leader of Brexit party Ukip. British reforms with their hard and anti-immigration positions could steal more votes from the Conservatives.

Conservatives have ruled the UK since 2010. According to polls, the British Conservative Party is facing a serious defeat in the July 4th general election. The Labor Party wants to return to power. David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak were prime ministers of this country during this period. This period of government began with cuts in public spending (“austerity”) followed by Brexit. Other important issues such as the current crisis in the health system, Corona, immigration and inflation created turbulent political years. In addition, the conservatives were involved in several scandals during this period.

Parliamentary elections are now held on July 4 in this country. Conservative Prime Minister Sunak is in danger of losing power, according to polls. Opposition Leader Keir Starmer wants to move into 10 Downing Street – Labor last appointed the country’s prime minister from 1997 to 2010.

The British Parliament has two seats. Parliament is composed of: the elected House of Commons and the House of Lords, whose members are not elected but, with a few exceptions, are appointed for life. At the general election on 4 July 2024, UK voters will be able to choose their representatives in 650 constituencies. The candidate who gets the most votes wins the seat and then represents this constituency in the House of Commons for about five years. Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister, is the main candidate of the ruling conservatives in this election. This 44-year-old man is the first prime minister in the history of this country with non-English origins. In 2020, Sonak became Treasury Secretary in Johnson’s cabinet. He is Prime Minister from 2022.

Now Keir Starmer, the 61-year-old opposition leader, wants to become the first Labor Prime Minister since Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. He has been a member of the British House of Commons since 2015. Starmer took over the post in 2020 after left-wing Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn was badly defeated in the election. He shows a much more moderate path than Corbyn.

The main candidate of the Liberal Democrats is Ed Davey (58), who has been a member of parliament since 1997 with a short break.

Nigel Farage, 60, a right-wing populist who had previously largely limited himself to media appearances, surprisingly announced a month before the election that he would run as leader of Britain’s Reform Party. So far, he has failed in seven attempts to become a member of the London Parliament. But now he has a good chance.

In the polls, the Conservatives are trailing the opposition Labor party by a lot (sometimes more than 20%). According to a poll published in early June 2024 by the polling institute Ugo, Labor could win more than double the number of electoral seats – and win 422 of the 650 seats in parliament. The Conservative Party will be reduced to 140 seats from the 365 they won at the last general election in 2019. Such a result would be the best defeat in the party’s history for Labor and the worst defeat for the Conservatives in more than a century. it is bad. According to this, 73% of the participants in this survey said that the situation in the country is worse than when the conservatives came to power 14 years ago. 85 percent said they are worse off than in 2010 when it comes to the cost of living. 84% of the National Health System see the NHS in worse shape. When it came to the immigration system and the economic situation, 78 percent reported negatively. Conservatives’ track record on other issues is also weak.

Immigration policy is also one of the issues raised in the election campaign. Farage’s hard-line anti-immigration policies could steal far-right votes from the Conservatives. Sonak has tried to combat this during the election campaign with the so-called deportation law, which would allow illegal immigrants to be transported to Rwanda.
