  • Membership of Britain's upstart anti-immigration Reform UK party has overtaken that of the centre-right Conservative Party for the first time, the party said Thursday, as Tories disputed the numbers.

The article from MSN discusses the rising popularity of the UK's anti-immigration Reform Party, which has recently surpassed the Conservative Party in membership numbers. According to the latest figures, Reform UK now boasts over 45,000 members, compared to the Conservative Party's 44,000. This shift comes amidst growing public discontent with the Conservative government's handling of immigration issues. Reform UK, led by Richard Tice, has capitalized on this sentiment by advocating for stricter immigration controls and a points-based immigration system. The party's surge in membership reflects a broader trend of voter frustration with mainstream parties, particularly on issues like immigration, Brexit, and economic policies. This development is seen as a significant challenge to the Conservative Party as it approaches upcoming elections, highlighting a potential realignment in UK politics.
