Speaking of the local election, Nigel Farage was strongly out of the United Kingdom Reform on Friday, it was strong that this was only the beginning of his journey to become the next British Prime Minister.

“I will transform the landscape of British politics, as I did in the past,” he told The Financial Times, as he proclaimed reform was the true opposition to work. “The Tory party is over, its 195 -year -old history is over.”

On Friday, Reforma won its fifth parliamentary seat, taking the safe labor constituency of Runcorn and Helsby for only six votes, as well as two mayors. Now Controls seven adviceEveryone won from the conservatives and occupies more than 400 seats.

Pointing out great victories of the local election by the other big Challenger party in British politics, the Liberal Democrats, Farage said that the “strength of the Conservative party has always been to Shire England. At the end of the day it will not exist.”

The proof of whether Farage’s confidence turns out to be Hubris will come in the coming years, as the five increasingly fractured political landscape parties in Britain made their campaigns campaigns before the next general election, scheduled for 2029.

There are still important obstacles The path to the power of Farage. These include the need to secure more funds to compete with the two major British politics parties and the risk that inexperienced reform politicians will descend in the struggle and ignominy, hurting the party’s popularity.

Ben Ansell, a policy professor at Oxford University, said he believed that there was only 10 to 20 percent of probabilities that Farage took power in the next election. “It would be based on the conservatives, the most successful party in British political history, not to return to the dead,” he said.

Generalized victories suggest that the party has not only collected ancient conservative voters disgruntled, but also a large part of people who voted for the work in last year’s general election.

Steve Akehurst, an analyst of the UK persuasion, said that the detailed surveys of the voting intention for the mayor’s election also clearly showed that the reform mobilized people who had not voted earlier.

Several labor campaigns in northern England, in addition to a race, said that they believed that people who do not usually vote went out to kick off the labor and conservatives, because Farage had given them a way to do it. This patron also declared especially in the 2016 EU referendum, contributing to the vote in favor of the Brexit.

Farage is now planning to double the LIB model by directing much to the regions that have shown special support for the reform, building a faithful cottage of party members and activists before the next general election.

Chris Hopkins, a political research director at Savanta, said he had been a skeptical of the reform until recently, but is now convinced that Farage has a plausible path to power. “Feeling heaven is the reform limit right now,” he said.

For decades it was widely believed that the first electoral system in Britain was an obstacle to the increase in smaller parties, maintaining the hegemony of two work parties and the conservatives.

Peter Kellner, former President of the Pollença de Yougov organization, said he used to be the case that parties should secure at least 30 percent of the vote to reach an investment point where he could win elections. But now, he argued, due to the fragmentation of voters and the increase in smaller parties, this figure is around 25 percent. The reform won about 30 percent of the national votes quota projected on Thursday, compared to the 20 percent labor.

“The reform no longer suffers from a penalty (first past),” said Kellner, who added that this should “terrorize both labor and conservatives.”

The reform hopes to take advantage of its victories this week to attract more donations to the party: Farage has said he hopes to reach more than 40 million pounds before the next election. “There is New donors I would come in and expect that after this set of results of the local election it will be much more, “said Farage to the FT.

The reform raised £ 280,000 in the last quarter of 2024, the most recent period for which figures are available, compared to the Tories, which raised £ 2 million and work, which won 1 million £. It is understood that the party has raised several million in the first quarter of this year, but it still has some way to equalize the approximately £ 5 million at £ 10 million that other large parties receive outside the election years.

Now there will be an extensive scrutiny of how the reform uses the executive branch that it now maintains to lead local governments and alkalists throughout England.

In the County of Durham, where the reform became the largest group of the Council, it was not clear how the party could lead an organization under strong financial pressure. The party’s literature focused on national issues and gave little idea to the party’s plans for local government.

It cannot yet be seen as the new reform councilors, many of whom won their seats promising to implement a version of the so -called Elon Musk Government Department efficiency in areas such as Lincolnshire and Kent, they will be able to identify enough savings to keep the Low Council’s taxes in local authorities that have suffered large financial cuts in recent years and struggle to contain deficits.

An insider Tory said: “Candidate scandalsThe media and internal rivalries could destabilize the game just as it increases. “”
