Trumpism has arrived with a bang in the United Kingdom. Britain’s Trump — he won’t be in the least offended by the comparison, being a big cheerleader for the former president — is Nigel Farage, who led the anti-EU U.K. Independence Party and has now transformed it into a broader insurgent movement, the Reform Party.

The Reform Party is polling just a couple of points behind the governing Conservatives. Britain has finally followed Europe in acquiring a party on the populist Right. The difference is that the U.K.’s electoral system brutally punishes splits on either side of the spectrum, meaning that the Left-wing Labour Party is set to win a record number of MPs despite getting fewer votes than the Tories got last time.
