Abstract

Nigel Farage, the architect of Brexit, is causing disruption in UK politics from the Australian jungle where he is participating in a reality TV show. Farage's influence is shaping infighting within the Conservative Party and affecting Rishi Sunak's bid to hold onto power in an upcoming election. The threat posed by Farage and his Reform UK party is particularly evident in the areas of climate change and immigration. Some right-wing Tories are considering making deals with Farage to revamp the party if they lose the election, while others are skeptical of appeasing him. Although Reform UK's polling numbers are not high, they could potentially act as spoilers in the election. Farage's future plans and potential strategies remain uncertain.
