The populist, the hard right UK party reform It has topped a poll for the first time, as he sent shock waves across the British Political Corporation.

On February 3, a poll found that if the elections are now called in the United Kingdom, 25 percent will vote for reform in the United Kingdom, and will vote 24 percent in favor of the current ruling Labor Party, and 21 percent for conservatives.

Fourteen percent will vote for liberal democrats and 9 percent of the Green Party, according to the poll.

Reform was established in 2021 as a re -launched the British Union’s exit party, and Reform has focused on immigration and housing and combating what is called its party’s “waking ideology” statement, according to its party statement.

In the general elections in July 2024, the Report UK, headed by Nigel Faraj, received 4.1 million votes – a result of widely seen as a victory given the party’s young age.

The British campaign against the far -right, Hope Not Hate, recently deployed 17,000 people’s opinion polls and found that reform in the UK can occupy up to 169 seats in parliament out of 650 and show a “major political force in Britain.”

“Reform in the United Kingdom from Nigel Faraj is trying to present itself as a new alternative by benefiting from … disappointment to push its extremist agenda. If they succeed, they will conduct British policy towards division, hostility and lack of confidence.”

Meanwhile, the Guardian newspaper reported that some of the Labor Party representatives have established a pressure group in the areas where the UK was ranked second in the general elections to strengthen their base.

“One of our main messages to driving is that we need to do more on illegal deportation in particular.”

Al -Jazeera spoke to Professor Aurelin Mondon, a great lecturer in politics, languages ​​and international studies at the University of Bath, about the importance of these surveys and what the party’s growing popularity of the country says.

Al -Jazeera: The UK reform topped you for the first time. Have you been surprised by this?

world: Unfortunately, I am not surprised because this follows a long trend and nothing has been done to stop it.

In fact, I would like to claim that the work government has paved the way for its reform by focusing on pets [issues the party focuses strongly on like immigration] And setting the priorities of its supporters.

This has led to the generalization of their ideas and some people who feel the courage to express support for reform, so that the nominal left government is consistent with their diagnosis.

Al -Jazeera: What do these investigative studies suggest about people’s feelings towards reform?

world: More about what people feel more about working than he feels about reform. It is important to not read this poll as indicating that reform is on its way to win the upcoming elections.

What should worry about us is that the Labor Party was unable to respond to many crises facing the United Kingdom, as it continued on the path of austerity and generalization of far -right ideas.

At the end of the day, as we have seen in countless cases, you do not need to fix to win in order to set the agenda, to become its prevailing speech and extreme right -wing policy.

Al -Jazeera: in the summer of last year, Extreme right riots Several Muslim and ethnic minority societies have targeted the country. How is the political response to these tensions distinguished?

world: The lack of a suitable response from the prevailing actors of these riots encouraged the extremist minority, and reducing the occupancy of counter -observations even though it showed the opposing feelings of fascism more popular than its counterpart.

It is amazing that these sections of the population, either at the acute end of the extreme right -wing policy or public and decisive opposition, have been aware of the government of the Labor, which instead chose to meet only the reactionary interests of the minority.

Al -Jazeera: personalities like technical billionaire Elon Musk They participated in the political gap in the United Kingdom, where he participates in a hateful speech about immigration with its supporters. What does this tell us about the way right -wing populism grows?

world: This is one of the symptoms of the broader failure of institutions in the face of the rise of what he called and my colleague “the lack of reactionary technical.”

It should never be given a lot of strength and wealth to a few people when it was always clear that their commitment to democracy was thin at best.

Musk is not an exception, but a product of the prevailing failures in the interest of the increasingly weak democratic system.

Al -Jazeera: If reform becomes more popular, will people become more explicit about their support for the party and its agenda?

world: Unfortunately, this happened in other contexts and is likely to happen here.

Not only is the attention of reform in the polls, but will also perform the prevailing politicians and the media that repeat its discourse as if they were based on legitimate concerns, will put tremendous pressure on societies at the sharp end of this policy.

Al -Jazeera: Can the UK reform one day lead the country?

world: Only if the prevailing actors continue in this path and refuse to face their rise by addressing the many crises facing this country and the planet through radical reforms.
