"The populist political party was founded in 2018 as the Brexit Party and has since rebranded and made a name for itself over its controversial anti-immigration and eurosceptic policies. As well as opposition to mass migration, the party bills itself as 'anti-woke' and has several anti-LGBTQ+ - and notably anti-trans - policies, including a recent pledge to repeal the 2010 Equality Act."
"The new voting intention poll carried out by More in Common, a research agency tackling polarisation and division across various countries, found Reform is the most popular party for both gay and bisexual and straight men. The data found 25 per cent of gay and bisexual men would vote for Reform, with 33 per cent of straight men also pledging support to Farage's party."
"By contrast, Zack Polanski's left-wing, pro-trans Green Party was the second most popular choice for gay and bisexual men at 19 per cent. However, amongst the straight men surveyed, only 7 per cent support the Greens. For lesbian and bisexual women, the Greens were by far the most popular choice, with more than a third backing Polanski at 37 per cent."
A More in Common poll reveals that Nigel Farage's Reform UK, a populist party known for anti-immigration and eurosceptic positions, leads in support among gay and bisexual men at 25%, matching its popularity with straight men at 33%. The party, which pledges to repeal the 2010 Equality Act and positions itself as 'anti-woke', has attracted Conservative MPs including Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick. The Green Party ranks second among gay and bisexual men at 19%, while dominating support among lesbian and bisexual women at 37%. Labour, currently in government, received no group's highest support, while the Conservatives trail behind Reform across most demographics.
