A comprehensive survey of Reform party voters reveals their backgrounds, top concerns, and likelihood of returning to the Tories. The Reform party is set to challenge major parties in their 50 top seats. Polls indicate Brexit voters now favor Reform over the Tories, as hinted by a potential January election. Meanwhile, Reform UK has dismissed five candidates due to inappropriate social media posts, defending their vetting process. Richard Tice, leader of Reform, claims the party represents the working class, contrasting with the Labour party's lack of answers. With Nigel Farage at the helm, Reform is only 3-4 points behind the Tories in polls, with Labour at 45%, Conservatives at 19%, and Reform at 14%. Another poll shows Conservative at 21% and Reform at 15%. Farage believes Reform could outperform the Conservatives in the next election, despite skepticism about their chances. The party's success at local elections, where they aim to surpass national polling, could silence critics. Currently, Reform stands in only 12% of local election seats, which may impact their general election campaign but could increase their vote percentage per candidate.

Reform, standing for just 12% of seats, shows party's lack of local organisation. (Will dent their chances in constituency campaigns at General Election) But should boost their 2024 vote % per candidate, if the 1/8th of seats they stand in are warmer terrain than other 7/8ths https://t.co/KxVROSwaSC

I would say there is less than a 5% chance (if that) that Reform win more votes that the Conservatives in the 2024 General Election. Reform would have a dramatic impact [reduce Conservative seats; more Lab/LD gains] if they win half as many votes as the Cons: eg 13% to 26% https://t.co/9OoT7c67pR
