I don’t think that Reform UK has a real chance here. Yes, they are idiots, but they are a split off of the Tories, weakening both. The Tories hold a good grip on people who are not exactly the most mentally flexible to put it mildly and would vote for a brick if it was a Tory candidate.
While fascists are often overconfident, they’re also self-poised themselves with “we either win everything or lose everything” mantra, that helped the republicans, Fidesz, PiS, etc. win.
People said the same thing about MAGA, be careful how far you shove your head up your ass to avoid seeing nazis infiltrate your government

The AfD in Germany also was a split off of the CDU. Now they are second strongest in the last federal election.
And not part of the government.
