2/ Nigel Farage, leader of Reform, celebrated the news claiming that Reform is "real opposition".
Due to peculiarities of British electoral system, Reform, despite being third strongest party with 14 pct of votes, ended with only 5 seats in Parliament, compared with Liberal Democrats who won 72 with only 12.2 pct of votes.
Many commentators, however, believe that Reform might play important part in next election cycle, due to attracting younger voters unhappy with both Tories and ruling Labour, and even more so after Elon Musk allegedly agreeing to finance their campaign.
