Reform UK has seen a huge surge in support from 2019 Tory voters and Brexiteers

Reform voters have revealed exactly how they feel about Brexit in a new poll - and it may surprise you.

In a new poll from People Polling, conducted on February 4 and 5, 3,421 Reform UK voters were asked: "Thinking now about Brexit, which of the following comes closest to your views?"


While 27 per cent said that Brexit has so far been more of a success, a huge 25 per cent of them said it has so far been more of a failure.

Some 44 per cent said leaving the European Union has so far been neither a success or failure, while four per cent said they don't know.

Reform UK has seen a huge surge in support from 2019 Tory voters and Brexiteers and is attempting to pitch itself as the main point of opposition to Labour at the next general election.

Some 31 per cent of Tory voters in 2019 have now transferred to Reform while 32 per cent of Leave voters are opting for the right-wing rebels as their party of choice.

The same polling asked Reform voters what would encourage them to return to the Tory party.

They were asked 'Imagine if Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party offered the country a referendum on reducing net migration from nearly 700,000 today to less than 100,000 in the years ahead. To what extent, if any would it make you more or less likely to vote for the Conservatives?'

Of the 3400 polled, 42 per cent said it would make them more likely to vote for the Tory party. Meanwhile, 40 per cdent said it would not make any difference at all.

A strong immigration policy from Sunak would attract voters back to the Tory party but amazingly 40 per cent would still be unmoved with Sunak needing to do a great deal more to turn heads away from Richard Tice's party.

Also tellingly, some 23 per cent of Reform voters now believe the Tory party is a left-wing party while 38 per cent said it was a party of the Centre.

Speaking ahead of the Blackpool South by-election results, which saw the Reform party comes just 100 votes behind the Tories in third place, Richard Tice said the party is "on the way up", warning Rishi Sunak that his party is now the "real opposition" to Labour.

While he accepted that Labour is likely to win the seat, he said: "It'll be our best by-election by a considerable margin and this just reinforces that frankly we're on the way up, the Tories are on the way down."

He added: "We are fast becoming the real opposition - in red wall seats, in the north of England and, indeed, I think in the Midlands - to the Labour Party."
