Farage in some places threatens the primacy of Laburists and Torians

In some parts of England, the outcome of the local elections provided the expected rise of the reform parties, the latest project Nigela Faragewith whom the most famous British populist wants to challenge the Westminster Double -General System. Thursday’s elections have seen many as an important step towards realizing this ambition: in addition to success at the local level, the party also won the replacement parliamentary elections in one of the « safe » Labor districts.

Her victory in Runcorn and Helsby, a district won by the ruling party led by Prime Minister in last year’s parliamentary elections Keira Starmerit will be written in the history of British democracy as one of the closest, as the difference between candidates of reformists and Laburists ended up at only six electoral votes.

« Their support crashed, and most of the votes were picked up, » the electoral failure of the Laburists commented on the Pharaga, claiming that the outcome is a proof of tectonic shifts in the island politics or the crunch of a double -sided system, in which the power of Laburists and Conservatives had gave each other since the second half of the 20th century.

« Politics has changed completely, » the British populist number one emphasized, insisting that his party was now the only real opposition to the Laburists, saying that they could no longer help with the Torians.

Although the Farage party currently has only four MEPs in the lower home of Parliament (out of 650), the growth of its popularity also approves the trend of fragmentation of the British political space, according to analysts and experts.

Starme: Changes should be faster

This year’s local elections in England were the first serious test of the popularity of the Labor Party a year after, after half a decade, it again broke into power in opposition. Although counting votes in most districts the day after the polls closed, the ruling party did not show excessive enthusiasm for the first results. « For me, it is a key message from this election that the changes that people want to see must be claimed faster and more determined, » Prime Minister Starmer commented on the results while visiting Bedfordshire.

An even colder shower was promised to the Torians, who had not yet picked up after last year’s loss of power. « Our client’s reconstruction has just begun and I am determined to regain public confidence and the seats we have lost, » the opposition leader responded to partial results Kema Badenochsaying that a bad result was expected in the election.

At Greater Lincolnshiru, she celebrated the victory of the reform party candidate, and the hopes of Farage’s reformists aroused the fact that the party candidates had performed well in all three mayoral games won by the Laburists. They finished second everywhere.

Between goals returning to a magnificent past

The success of reformists who, among other things, advocate zero tolerance to illegal immigration, eliminate commitments of carbon neutrality, and significant reduction in public spending by the Republican President in the US Donald Trump or his right hand Elon Muskin recent months, have announced opinion polls that have achieved popularity by laburists.

What type of party is, they also showed the triumphant speeches of their candidates. « Now the fight for rescuing the heart and soul of our great country has begun, » she told the followers Andrea Jenkinsa former deputy of the Torians, who became the first elected mayor of reformists a year after the competition. “Now that we have power, we can begin to renew the UK. Step by step, we will bring her back to her magnificent past. « 

In doing so, she announced a sharp showdown with illegal migration, including the end of installing asylum seekers in hotels. « If the tents are good enough for France, they should be good enough in the UK. »
