The right-wing Reform UK Party has recently achieved a series of electoral victories, securing parliamentary, mayoral, and local election seats. Leader Nigel Farage proclaimed that these successes position Reform UK as "now the opposition party to this Labour government." This declaration follows losses by both the Labour and Conservative parties in a recent election, signaling a potential shift in British politics.

Farage, who earlier this year hinted at a "political revolution," asserted that the traditional two-party system in British politics is coming to an end. Reform UK secured a significant victory when Sarah Pochin won the Runcorn & Helsby constituency, an area considered a Labour stronghold. This win marks the party's fifth parliamentary seat.

Adding to their gains, Andrea Jenkyns claimed the mayorship for Greater Lincolnshire, a region previously dominated by the Conservative Party. Richard Tice, Reform UK’s deputy leader, described the electoral results as a "political earthquake," noting that voters across the country have been turning against the two main parties in approximately 650 elections.

According to Farage, the growing support for Reform UK indicates a decline in the Conservative Party's influence. He suggested that the Conservative Party, which has been around since 1832, is nearing its end. Farage himself was previously a member of the Conservative Party before leaving in the 1990s and eventually founding the Brexit Party, which later became Reform UK in 2021.
