Nigel Faraj’s reform UK has made huge profits in the local elections across England, in a series of impressive victories that have reshaped the political map.
The populist right -wing party won the Runcorn and Helsby repetitive elections under a majority of only six votes after a re -counting, overturning the majority of 14,000 labor votes.
There had been a series of results that saw their candidate Dame Andrea Jenkyns win the position of Mayor of the wider Lincolnshire area, where the reform was also on the road to win the majority of the Council of Council seats as well. The party also occupied majorities in Staffordshire and Durham causing severe pain in both workers and conservatives.
Faraj: “It’s the beginning of the end of the conservative party”
In his statements, Farage claimed that these elections marked “the beginning of the end of the Conservative Party”. Speaking at a rally, he said: “This is the beginning of the end of the Conservative Party. They may exist since 1832 and the great reform act, but they have been eliminated in the provinces of England, have been eliminated in these areas of West Midlands, southern, southwestern areas where their members, have their advisers, are based on money. Everyone is honestly ceased to exist.
And now they become an obstacle. Because what is quite clear, taking into account these municipal clashes in both Doncaster and Northern Tainent, is that while we are clearly the main challenge for workers in Midlands and North, if you vote conservative you stop our chances. If you vote conservatives, you will get the workers. But if you vote for reform in Midlands and North, from now to the general elections, you will get a reform. “
In an interview with Sky News, Nigel Faraj, Reform UK leader, argued that today’s election results are “beyond my craziest dreams”. He added: “This shows that people are ready for real change.”
Asked what he would say to the people who used to be mocked his chances of becoming prime minister, Faraj said: “They don’t laugh now, isn’t they? This is the earthquake of the reform. This is happening throughout the country today. These are the most amazing results of local elections in the history of our country. “
When he was put to Farage that he might have to change the style of his election campaign because he was divisive, he replied: “Nice, fine. I’m sorry, I’m not Mr. Bland. I am who I am. Take me or let me. I am a straight speaker. I say what I believe, and if you like it, that’s fantastic. And if not, I don’t care. “
