"Reform is also thinking long-term. The party wants to seize this moment of peak Tory unpopularity (few prime ministers have seen approval ratings as low as [[Rishi Sunak|[Rishi] Sunak]] has now) and use it for a realignment of politics.

Just as the SDP-Liberal Alliance split the left in the 1980s, Reform may split the right now."
