Reform has overtaken its rivals as the party most Britons now associate with patriotism and national direction, according to new YouGov polling survey released this week.

The survey depicts a restless electorate drifting away from the traditional two-party split in British politics, while remaining deeply sceptical of all political brands.

Thirty-five percent of respondents described Reform as the “most patriotic” party, while 36% said it is setting Britain’s political agenda. One in four believe it best understands the country’s problems. Reform was also seen by 35% as the party most likely to be largest after the next general election, far ahead of Labour on 15% and the Conservatives on just 7%.

Yet the gains come with a cost. Fifty-eight percent of voters said Reform holds “extreme views,” and 35% called it the “weirdest” party in British politics.
