Farage Is a Long Way From Peaking

The political scientist Samuel Lubell argued that US politics was divided between two parties: the “party of the sun” and the “party of the moon.” The party of the sun set the political agenda while the party of the moon merely reflected the sun’s light.

One of the many oddities of British politics is that a party with a mere five members of Parliament is the current “party of the sun.” Reform UK has enjoyed a commanding lead in the opinion polls, the God of modern politics, for eight months. The only consistent theme in the Labour government’s flimflam politics is trying to hobble Reform leader Nigel Farage.
