Rise in women supporting Reform, says research

Reform UK, representing far-right politics, are attracting the female vote now more than ever before. 

More women are supporting far-right ideologies, recent studies suggest.

Opinion pollsters from More in Common demonstrate that Reform’s share of female supporters has shown a distinct increase over the past year, climbing 8% in only six months for women aged 18 to 26. 

These figures alone may arise a mixture of feeling for many women.  

The far-right have pushed back against the UK’s first Labour government since 2010.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has courted supporters amid worries over illegal immigration, as nationalist protests have erupted across the country. 

For the younger generation of women and girls, social media appears to play a vital role in their reception of news.

On platforms such as Tiktok and Twitter, political parties can tailor content toward potential voters through algorithms and ‘clickbait’.

Sienna Churcher, most recently appointed as the first female teenage councillor for Reform UK, has discussed her journey and experiences of the party on her social media accounts. 

Reform’s internet reach is expanding and advancing, many suggest far more than other political parties.

Nigel Farage’s Tik Tok account has 1.2 million followers, whereas Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch aren’t even on it. 

In this digital age, a new generation of female voters will make their final decisions through these online platforms.
