Thought this was quite an interesting question. We asked which political party do people think is most "American" in it's style and Reform comes out on top by a country mile. Most likely to do with Trump, but also perhaps their more attention grabbing set pieces?
Is this a problem for Reform? Potentially, when asked if people would like Britain to become more or less like America, Brits clearly say less. Though some right leaning segments are more open to the US. It explains Davey's attempts to link Farage to the US at his conference
But, as Reform's leads show, in a situation where just 12% say Britain isn't broken, and more people say 'It's time for change' than before the general election, the risks of rolling the dice on a more American future clearly don't currently seem so great for many compared to status quo.
I know I am not the only person who thinks Nigel Farage’s close relationship with Donald Trump might be a major reason Reform do worse than expected at the next election.
Sir Keir Starmer’s relationship with Trump is transactional whilst Farage seems to be an enthusiastic backer of the economically illiterate, science denying, attack on the rule of law, culture wars that Trump espouses which doesn’t go down well with the majority of Brits.
