This is less about the specifics (which you are misrepresenting and oversimplifying) and more about your hypothesis not being supported by the evidence
But WRT the specifics it is worth noting that there has also been a rise in votes for the Green Party, who have very progressive policies WRT immigration, diametrically opposed to Reform. Their vote share went from 6.4% 2 years ago to 18% 2 weeks ago
Yes, I read that, but Reform is getting more votes than the Green Party. I’m not too familiar with British politics but I suspect that Britons are also dissatisfied with the economy. The economy is usually the top issue. When Trump won in 2024, he made border security a top issue, but Americans were also dissatisfied with the economy.
I don’t think you understand how politics works in the real world if you think that tripling your user base in two years is worse than doubling it in the same time
Your understanding of politics is shallow, simplistic, and not rooted in reality
I’m not familiar with British politics but if voters want the country to be tough on immigration, then parties must adopt that stance or be voted out.
