Runcorn: Britain’s hard-right anti-immigrant Improvement UK Party It is trying to prove that this week is a reliable political power in the local elections that will test the popularity of the labor Prime Minister. Kir Stamor,
Nigel FarajThe upstart party is pushing for a parliamentary one to take the score of the council and mayor seats. This is to organize a serious ground challenge in the next general election, which is likely to be in 2029.
Its rise comes when elections suggest that the people of Britain are rapidly displaced with two establishment parties of the country-traditionally center-class labor and right-wing orthodox party.
In Runcorn, an industrial city in North Western England, on Thursday, in a UK parliamentary by -election, reform has been tied up by MPs to add to their small corkets, who achieved an unprecedented success in last year’s national elections.
70 -year -old retired N Murray told AFP, “Labor’s nonsense. They tell lies. They are similar to Tories. We need a different.”
Euroscipticism:
Reform won 14 percent votes in the general election in July last year, winning five seats in the 650-seat Parliament-an unprecedented slope for a hard-right party in UK.
This tapped against the concerns over immigration and lack of jobs, performed well in areas which have later faced industrial fall and where there has been a high level of euroseptisism.
The rebels of Brexit Champion Faraj have led several opinion polls despite suspending one of their MPs, while Labor has ended a stuttering return to power after the 14 -year conservative government.
On Tuesday, reforms increased the latest YouGov pole, three points from labor and six points on conservatives with 26 percent of voting intentions in the UK.
The Starmer has failed to set fire to the economy or to reduce the number of irregular migrants coming to England on boats from France, this year around 10,000 have arrived in the UK.
According to data from the Interior Ministry, in 2024, the number reached on 24 May. Labor has also been criticized for welfare deductions, including scrapping winter heating payments for millions of pensioners when the energy prices are high.
Labor MP Mike AIMSBry left a person after a jail sentence in the Runcorn and Halesby by -elections to punch a person.
Labor won the Runcorn constituency in July with 53 percent of the vote share, while the reform secured the second place with only 18 percent. But Starmer admitted on Monday that the Runcorn by -election was going to be difficult “. “We are fighting for every vote,” he said.
‘symbolic’:
Inside the shopping city mall, the correction candidates sit with Sarah Pocin’s campaign office bargain shops and other hand shops, which are its luck and evidence of a city on the fertile region.
54 -year -old retired Eddie Sweeny said, “Something is to be done. You cannot maintain such a society.”
He bounced a reform volunteer into a fist, behind which a desk was stacked with a leaflet, claiming that “boats would stop” “boats” reaching 300 miles (480 km) on the south-eastern coast of England.
Labor candidate Karen Shore insisted the AFP that reforms have “no response” to improve national healthcare or revive centers of the city.
Taxi driver Paul Rowland said he would withdraw labor again. “They still have got time to turn things,” said 61 -year -old. Voting is very low for by-elections.
Nevertheless, a reform win will give the party “speed”, David Jeffrey said, a lecturer of British politics at the University of Liverpool. “A labor loss will be symbolic and it would give Labor MPs a reason to pressurize the leadership that they move to the right,” he told the AFP.
Stper Test:
Some 1,640 council seats in 23 local authorities are for tombs on Thursday, as there are six mayorl posts, which is Starmer’s first test in the ballot box since becoming Prime Minister.
Orthodoxicists are also working for a hammer as they protect some two-thirds of the council seats, while traditional third party Liberal Democrats are expecting a big profit in the south.
Winning the mayoralty like Greater Lincolnshire and giving place to hundreds of councilors will help spread its ground -level activity.
“Flip side is that they can sometimes cause shame to party leaders,” said politics at Tim Bell, Queen Mary University in London.
The reforms have to leave the candidates to make aggressive comments. Local election results will also be a decision as a conservative leader on the six -month tenure of Kemi Badenoch, as the rumors remain that the party can consider a coalition with reforms.
His party is expecting a difficult night as the seats were last contested in May 2021 at the height of East-Tory PM Boris Johnson’s popularity.
