Nigel Farage’s Reform is Now More Trusted Than Tories on Immigration Policy, Polling Finds

The British people are dissatisfied with how the government is handling immigration, with a majority saying the number of arrivals both legal and illegal should fall.

Responding to the figures, Reform UK Deputy Leader Ben Habib told Breitbart London that the Conservative Party is suffering from having turned its back on its own voters. He said: “We are witnessing a historic realignment in politics. Not for a hundred years have we seen such a change. Breaking these sentiments down by party, right-wing voters are much more dissatisfied with British border control than left, with 72 per cent of past Conservative voters saying they feel that way, compared to 40 per cent for Labour. But crucially, right-wing voters say immigration is a very important matter to them, while the same is not true for the left.

Indeed, the Ipsos polling finds — quite incredibly, given it is a comparatively new party with just one Member of Parliament — that the public trusts Nigel Farage’s Reform more than they do the Conservatives on immigration. Labour beats both on the trust question, likely a reflection of its commanding position in the polls.

Despite the way it is sometimes portrayed in the media as predominantly a threat to the Conservatives, previous polling and research has shown many Reform supporters, as well as the Brexit Party before it, are former Labour voters. Having been a key election-winner for decades, migration and border control looks set to be positively toxic to the Conservatives at this year’s expected general election as the public reflect on tough Tory promises at previous votes met with failure, if not outright contradiction once in power. The Conservatives campaigned on and won elections for many years on the promise to cut annual net migration “to the tens of thousands”, for instance.
