Work and Tories seek a way to counteract Farage reform

The work and the conservatives are being searched to find a way to face the UK’s reform after the Nigel Farage insurgent populist party caused a day of electoral destruction in the two main parties in Britain.

Farage declared the “end of two -party policy” in Britain Reform He dismantled the northern labor fortresses and annihilated the Tories in his old lands Shire Heartlands in the local elections in England.

The reform also called for a close victory over the work in the Runcorn and Helsby parliamentary elections.

The general reform obtained 677 Council seats, the LIB DEMS 163 and Greens 45, while Labor lost in 186 and the conservatives lost 676.

The results, along with the national opinion surveys that have given a reform at the helm for several months, are mined by the status quo under which the labor and conservatives have taken power during the last century.

Local elections also suggest that the reform threatens a populist insurgency in Britain similar to those that witnessed the United States, France, Italy and Germany.

The ex -Brexit Farage, who has been presumed of his friendship with United States President Donald Trump, has committed himself to Carbon AX goals, to introduce a tougher reduction in immigration and assume “liberal elites”. He has also promised more state control of public services such as the water industry and the steel industry.

Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of Labor, said he would not use the same “old excuses”, such as the low participation of local elections, for the whole results. “My answer is simple: I get it,” he said.

In an editorial of the Times newspaper, Starmer promised “hard graft” to deal with the great problems, from the improvement of the NHS to combating “uncontrolled immigration, wastewater on rivers, the Fault of Local Services”.

But in a message veiled to those who had voted the reform, he said it was wrong to think that there was an easy solution to Britain’s problems.

“I also know that there will be people who respond to these results, saying that there is a simple and ideological solution. That we only do what they say, everything would be ordered during the night,” he said. “I am afraid this is not correct. Britain has tried the destruction of the idea of ​​reducing tax rules or promoting non -funded expenses.”

Kemi Badenoch, leader of the conservatives, faces an even greater challenge. The party is trapped in a vice with the reform winning on Tory’s fans, while the LIB DEMS captured liberal conservative votes south and west.

He admitted that he had been a “blood bath” for his councilors after the “historical defeat” of Tories in the general election of July after 14 years in government.

“I’m sorry to see so many conservative counselors capable and lost workers.

Badenoch has struggled to attract national attention after winning conservative leadership and has been criticized for his gradual approach to establishing politics.

It is under intense pressure to present policies to base their leadership. “He is on the clock,” said a veteran party official, although most conservative deputies recovered from the idea of ​​approaching Badenoch after only six months in office. “We would seem ridiculous,” said a shadow minister.

Richard Fuller, party president, told the BBC that his party needed to “deeply think” about Britain’s challenges before submitting a new list of policies.

But he said that the Tories were not completely excessive of the policies. For example, they had abandoned the net target of Britain Zero 2050 to relieve pressure on companies.

Fuller admitted that the results showed that voters were not yet ready to say “We are ready to rely on you.”

He added that the reform would soon discover that he could no longer “point” from the margin.

“The reform will find out, I think, there are no locally simple answers to public finances at the local government level, they will have to take some difficult options and the local public will … keep them in mind the decisions they make,” he said.

The reform, which has never directed a local authority, arose this weekend with the control of 10 advice in Derbyshire, Kent, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Doncaster, Northamptonshire, Durham and West Northamptonshire.

The Liberal Democrats took control of the County Councils of Oxfordshire, Cambridge and Shropshire, all for the first time, while leaving the Tories to become the largest party in Devon, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire and Wiltshire.

The BBC projected that if the results were extrapolated to a national vote fee, Reform UK would have won 30 percent, compared to 20 percent work, the DEMS LIB of 17, the conservatives of 15 and the greens of 11.
