Reform is the re-branded Brexit Party whose Honorary President is non other than Nigel Farage.
But forget about Nige for a moment, without him canvassing in the lead up to the by-elections yesterday, Reform pulled in over 10% of the vote.
At the last general election Farage had a pact not to stand candidates in Tory held seats but that agreement has now gone and the gloves are off with the current Reform leadership.
Reform (Brexit Party as was) is obviously more supported in areas that voted for Brexit and...
Reform's pitch is to voters disaffected with both main parties - and Mr Tice has been equally scathing about Labour.
But the party's polices - including a far tougher line on immigration and scrapping the government's net zero commitments - are in tune with the views of many on the right of the Tory Party.
Seems at the moment that the Conservatives will be wiped out at this years General Election based on last nights results so it would not surprise me if the W63's of this world would cast their votes to Reform this time around as Reform are saying exactly what they want to hear.
Unlikely Reform will win any seats on a first past the post basis but they may well make a last minute Tory win impossible if they do win the traditional Tory voters over to them believing a Conservative General Election win is already impossible anyway.
Will W63 be ripping up his Tory membership card and voting Reform soon perhaps?
