Reform UK reveals shocking plan that could change Scottish politics forever
Reform UK aims to become a key player in Scottish Parliament after next election‚ with polls showing unexpected growth. Party leaders plan to support Labour over SNP if they gain enough seats
Richard Tice has laid out Reform UKs bold-new strategy for Scottish politics‚ stating the party could be the decision-maker after next years election. Recent polls show them at 11% in regional-list voting intentions which might bring up to 14 seats in parliament
The partys quick rise is shown in recent by-election results: they got 18% of votes in Glasgow area (beating the conservative party which only managed about 5%) Its worth noting though that conservatives did win all four by-elections in north-east Scotland earlier this month
Anything is preferable to the SNP – theyʼve had their chance and blown it
Reform UK plans to run candidates in every constituency and region focusing on:
- North-east Scotland
- Glasgow area
- Rural communities
- Former oil-and-gas workers
The party is getting ready for its first-ever Scottish meeting (expecting around 250-270 people to show up in Perth) While Nigel Farage wont be there this time heʼs planning a rally in Scotland early next year
Their main focus is fighting against net-zero policies which Tice describes as harmful to jobs and economy. The party is trying to get support from different voter groups – disappointed conservatives socially-conservative labour voters and even some former SNP supporters
The conservatives under Russell Findlay are working to win back their voters with what they call a common-sense agenda but Reform UK leaders think they can still get ahead. They believe voters dont know much about the new conservative leader and dont trust traditional parties anymore
