Following a recent YouGov poll, Reform UK has emerged as the leading political party with 24% of the vote, surpassing both the Tories and Labour. This new information has sparked talks about a possible pact between Reform and the Conservative party in the near future. Although many believe this could potentially give the Tories an advantage in the upcoming election, there are some who feel that a merge could result in the downfall of the party.

Despite these strong words, Burghart has not officially ruled out the possibility of working together in the future.
The idea of a deal between the two parties has also been supported by Conservatives Lord Craig Mackinlay and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg who believe that a collaboration could give the Tories an edge in the next election.
