AI Summary

medium article 3 min

A recent poll of Reform UK members, conducted by Survation and published by Hope Not Hate, revealed that a majority hold concerning views on non-white British citizens. The poll, surveying 629 Reform members between January 29 and February 16, found that 54% believe non-white citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave the UK. Additionally, 22% supported this action even for non-white citizens whose parents were born in the UK. Hope Not Hate's report suggests these findings highlight tensions within Reform UK, particularly as leader Nigel Farage attempts to appeal to more moderate voters. The report also raises concerns about the rise of racial nationalism and its influence on the party, with significant support among Reform members for far-right figures advocating for mass deportations.
