David Maddox – The Independent Jan 18, 2025
The onward march of Reform has seen the party come “within the margin of error” of topping the first of 2025’s weekly tracker polls for The Independent in a major blow to Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch.
The Techne UK survey results came in as Nigel Farage prepared to host a major pre-inauguration party in Washington DC and cash in on his friendship with Donald Trump. It suggests Tories are fleeing in large numbers to Reform but Liberal Democrats are switching to the Tories.
According to the polling of 1,645 voters on Wednesday and Thursday, Labour still leads by one point at 26 per cent, having dropped 1 per cent from before Christmas. The Tories also fell by 1 per cent to 25 per cent but Reform UK is at 23 per cent and up two points.
The Lib Dems trailed in fourth with 12 per cent and Greens on 7 per cent, both unchanged from last month.
It revealed that despite rows with Elon Musk and disagreements over far-right activist Tommy Robinson, as well as councillors quitting the party, Mr Farage and Reform have continued to make a strong advance.
It also suggested that Kemi Badenoch’s speech on where the Tories went wrong has failed to bolster her party. Meanwhile, Labour’s economic woes and criticism of chancellor Rachel Reeves’ policies and China trip have pushed their support further down.
Techne’s chief executive Michela Morizzo pointed out that all three parties are effectively within the margin of error of being the leader in the race for public opinion.
She said: “Our first Westminster tracker poll of 2025 reflects broadly the continued problems the major parties have. Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, who are struggling to make headway in what is a particularly gloomy economic climate as the new year starts, drop one point in national vote share.
“Similarly Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative Party are also struggling to find their voice and they too start the year dropping one point in national vote share.
“It is only Nigel Farage’s Reform UK which continues to show momentum, posting a two-point rise in national vote share. As such, taking any margin of error into account, we start the 2025 with Labour, Conservatives and Reform UK all closely positioned as they fight for public support and impact.”
According to the data, 22 per cent of those who voted Conservative in last year’s election have already switched to Reform. Only 7 per cent of Labour 2024 voters have moved to Reform. However, Labour has lost 27 per cent of its voters from the election while the Tories have lost 30 per cent.
But in a more positive finding for Ms Badenoch, almost one in five (18 per cent) of the Lib Dem voters from the 2024 election would now vote Tory, with only 62 per cent remaining loyal to Sir Ed Davey’s party.

A Yahoo article says 10,000 millionaires have left Britain. That’s because Britain became a money-worshipping shithole and they don’t want to pay their taxes. There would be 10 million ordinary Brits who would leave if they had the means to, but unlike millionaires they have to take it in the ass because any means they may have had have already been taken off them and the government will have to go back for it all. As we’re the only ones here we are the only ones they can rob at penpoint. We ARE the money.

Farage is a political snake who plays the people to keep the establishment parties in power. At the last election when it looked like many Independents would take seats off the two main parties in a protest vote, and by default make it a parliament of proportional representation, they brought in Farage LATE! to switch voters away from their protest votes for Independents and onto himself. That switch away from Independents onto Reform let Starmer in which was intended–and Reform didn’t take many seats.
He was the face of Brexit but that was another deception. They screwed the vote against Leave or it would have been far higher–but they believed their own propaganda and didn’t understand how many wanted to leave Europe so they didn’t screw the vote quite enough and so Leave still won. Farage took a break from politics straight after the vote and didn’t wait until after we left the EU. Who tf does that? He was a stalking horse whose mission was to lose the vote while making it look like he was trying to win it. His leaving politics before we left the EU gave his game away as an anti-democratic snake.
He’s an affable snake, a dangerous combo to real democratic advances.
Too bad Farage is a crypto-Jew & Reform is MI5 managed. Labour is Commie & Tory is crypto-Commie. ‘Reform’ won’t reform anything, the wogs will remain in England & continue arriving. The white man will simply be duped again, befuddled & wondering when voting or democracy will ever work for him.
“If you haven’t figured it out yet, the ‘democracy’ game ended when Hitler & the Nazis won via ‘democracy’ in 1932/33. Its been rigged ever since to prevent whites from winning again.” –Nico X
But hey, keep voting until there are no whites left.

You are correct. Farage has been adept in making people believe something other than where he’s going. Farage stated his goal was to destroy the BNP the only party openly advocating for sending the 3rd world home through paying them to leave as well as exiting the EU. Like him or not, Nick Griffin (BNP) was talking about the grooming gangs 20 years ago and was prosecuted for it. Both Farage and Tommy Robinson were nowhere in sight to defend him.
Farage is still ob board to “net migration” of 90-100k per year. That means that if 500k “real” Brits leave, he’d be OK with 600k coming from India, Pakistan or Nigeria.
His best trick is disguising that he wants the US to take over the UK. As a Canadian, who has visited the US hundreds of times (relatives and business) I can tell you that while the US public is overwhelmingly well meaning and friendly, the US government is nobody’s friend.
As with UKIP/Brexit, a move will be made to get Farage out and to parachute a Deep State schill in. Mouthpiece for hire Boris Johnson (aka ‘The greased pig’), did this once before and has been hinting that he is ‘available’.
So glad the subjects of the empire of pirate rock vote again, soon! The beacon of light in a very dark world. God save the queen and all that is holier than YOU you incompetent subjects of the come on wealth who do not appreciate the wonderful reality of coin and puppets everywhere on strings.
Would any of you buy a 2nd hand car (or a new one) from Farage !
Your gut feeling has revealed all you need to know about this chap.
