I am a liberal, centrist dad Remainer. I desperately wish we could rejoin the European Union. I really don’t like Donald Trump. I could go on. But if a general election were held tomorrow, I would seriously consider voting Reform. In fact, Nigel Farage’s party is increasingly likely to get my support.

That I’m flirting with voting Reform might surprise you, but I’m not alone. Reform’s success in last week’s elections was no fluke: the latest YouGov survey puts the party on 29 per cent. The reason why is simple: the other parties are offering more of the same when Britain is badly in need of change.
Let’s start with Labour. Despite being a Remainer, I am basically centre-right in political outlook. I support capitalism, free markets and free trade (which is why I don’t like Brexit, but I digress).
