Key UK local elections today, anti-immigration Reform Party expected to do well | Eastern NC Now

Labour likely to be crushed

ENCNow

The United Kingdom will hold local elections for thousands of local councilors round the country today, as well as the parliaments in Scotland and Wales, in a key test for national political parties. Polls show the nationally governing Labour Party is expected to be crushed, likely resulting in the exit of Prime Minister Keir Starmer.  The party expected to do best is the populist nationalist anti-immigration ReformUK Party led by Brexit hero Nigel Farage.  

the rise of the Reform Party is based on the two main issues it is campaigning on.  It takes a very strong line against illegal immigration and calls for mass deportation of migrants.  It also calls for an end to Labour's "Net Zero CO2" climate policies which it refers to as "Net Stupid".
