"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 (37 per cent). This was not reflected for straight women, with just 11 per cent saying they would vote Green and the majority of their support going to Reform (29 per cent)."

I guess Reform is just really popular :c

I guess Reform is just really popular :c

Yep... and it really shouldn't continue to be, because it actually has no plan or cohesive ideology, and is probably designed to fail, just like every other political project of Farage's.

Reform is an entirely reactive party - since kicking Rupert Lowe out, farage has just repeatedly lifted policy from Lowe and his Restore party.

It would make more sense for the british right to put their support behind "Restore" or Labour to achieve their aims, in my opinion. Not sure what will happen but the latter of those seems unlikely, so i guess the Election map is going to look like a salad assortment next GE; a very very very split vote.

Are we supposed to believe this poll? I mean the US has the “Log Cabin” republicans, but they are a small minority of the gay/bi population. Why would the UK be the opposite?

Nazi always were a bit camp.... All a bit homoerotic, but always closeted.

Tragic really, before crimes against humanity drown out any sympathy.

Hopefully it's just done to annoy the rest of Reform voters?

Like a big gay Trojan horse

Is this a typo? Did they mean to say hated instead of supported?

Maybe they are just really into feeding leopards.
