    The two top parties in the UK right now are Reform and Conservative

    That’s untrue by any measure.

    If reform is top by voting intention, conservatives are third or fourth. If conservatives are top by MPs, reform are sixth or seventh.

    But it is true that actual Nati slogan-repeating racist, muslim-hating Nigel Farage has been polling highest, and it’s legitimate to worry about him doing in the uk and the middle east what trump is doing in America and the middle east.

        Labor

        Labour.

        the Conservatives have been ahead most frequently in recent polls

        According to the graph, that was true for a month in December last year and for most of the graph labour were leading the conservatives by a clear margin.

        So, I reiterate, your claim that the UK is a two horse race between reform and the tories is untrue by any measure.

        And it’s especially not a strong argument if you’d rather I vote green than labour.

        Also consider the accuracy of polls three years in advance of an election.

        Reform’s success is a problem, but an even worse problem is reinforcing the narrative that their success is inevitable.
