Reform takes lead in UK’s first ‘TikTok election’
In what’s being called the UK’s first TikTok election, readers may be surprised
to find out who’s winning the battle for followers.
On the youngest mainstream social media platform, Reform UK - whose vote
trends towards the elderly - has the most followers: 125,500, just ahead of
Labour on 108,500, the BBC reported.
It comes as the party today unveiled a ‘battle bus’ of its own. Speaking at the
launch event, Nigel Farage, the party’s honorary president, said he was
“optimistic” that Reform could pick up “a good number of seats” come
election day.
“We just need a couple more percentage point,” he said. “If we could get to
that, then we could win a good number of seats. I feel there’s some
momentum with us.”
Reform is also leading the way on Facebook, thought to be used by older
voters, despite spending nothing on ads, according to the Times.
“In the first week of the campaign the Tories spent almost £200,000 on
Facebook ads, and Labour more than half a million.
However, of the 52 most liked posts on Facebook by political parties since the
election was called, 32 were posted by Reform.
