US EditionIt is 'feasible' Nigel Farage could be the next prime minister, says Kemi Badenoch
- Nigel Farage's Reform UK party won major gains in early 2025 local elections across England, taking control of 10 councils and 677 council seats.
- The elections reflected widespread voter dissatisfaction with the Conservative and Labour parties, intensifying political volatility and altering traditional party dynamics.
- Farage declared the election results signaled the end of two-party dominance and confirmed Reform as the main opposition to Labour, while Conservatives suffered their worst local election performance ever.
- Kemi Badenoch acknowledged the growing strength of Reform UK, stating, "anything is feasible," implying Farage could become prime minister, a view echoed by other politicians including Scotland's First Minister John Swinney.
- These developments suggest continued erosion of support for traditional parties and raise uncertainty about the future UK political landscape, with critics and supporters debating Reform's role and impact.
